It’s been a bit since I last wrote on here. I’ve been up to a lot. Having my wisdom teeth removed, updating my electronics, upgrading my lifestyle, seeing a therapist, looking for a girlfriend, looking for a new job and all the while still working at the same place.

It’s good money where I’m at now and for all the crap and confusing mixed signals I’ve given them about leaving they still keep me around. I can’t complain. And sometimes I even find myself liking more to be at work because it gets me out of the house.

I recently did a job interview which was the most embarrassing one I’ve ever done. Oh dear god…I went in there and they just handed me a paper in English about something technical regarding nuclear energy and said “okay now put it in Japanese”. I just don’t have that kind of technical knowledge with Japanese. I told them I couldn’t do it and we agreed we didn’t want to waste each other’s time so as soon as it had started it was done. Kind of like a walk of shame out of there. But I got a smile out of the whole situation - not depressed about it at all.

As for looking for a girlfriend, my room mate is into online dating and I started checking that out after getting jealous of him going out all the time. I quickly found that at least at first glance the women around here on dating sites are ridiculously shallow and picky. Seems like all the girls from 18-25 want a 5’10”, athletic build 25 year old guy. What’s a guy like myself to do? 5’8”, average build (not fat but not toned) and just under the cut at 24 y/o. Am I really just not attractive to American women? It’s depressing to say the least. At least I know they’re the ones with the issues. But even knowing that doesn’t help me get a girl.
