Pater.
Thats Latin. Means, “Dad.” Anyway, my Dad will be here around 8PM tonight. I am really pretty excited. Megan would normally be beside herself cleaning in preparation, but she burned out Wednesday for poker night.
On that note, Greg gave us a bottle of wine to present to the winner. So instead of people gambling their money, we had a tournament with 50 yen each. It lasted quite a while with Mami taking home the big prize. She said that she was sick the next day. I think from all of the excitement.
So the apartment is clean to me, hideous to Megan, and who knows how the father will feel.
I haven’t figured out yet what we’re going to do with my Dad while he is here. There are too many options really. Thankfully travel in this country is so easy, we can really be last minute in deciding. I just hope he has fun.
I have started to casually search for jobs, and my friends have been very proactive in sending me job postings in their home cities. You are all awesome for that.
I will say I was both relieved and distrusting at the job requirements. Many video game job postings didn’t ask for serious previous experience, only a strong desire and education in video games. I have that. They do of course prefer people with experience.
So when my Dad leaves, I really do have to get my resume in order and finish my stupid stupid video game.
