Where is NTT???!!!???
So I learned that NTT now can't set up my internet until the end of the month!!! :(
I can not believe it!!! I am unable to check emails at my personal acccount from work. So I need to go to an internet cafe and get caught up. For everyone who has emailed me sorry!!! I am dis-connected!!!
I will have a normal life possibly at the end of next week. I am expecting NTT to finish a couple days early. It seems they had a big campain to get new subcribers here in Nagoya and now are very behind schedule.
Other than that the weather here is much nicer than Salt Lake. Work is crazy trying to get to know everyone and speaking Japanese all day is wearing me out. The more I speak the more I realize I don't know. I need to study my business language more. I know many people studying English who feel the same way. SO LET'S HANG IN THERE TOGETHER!!!!
Well... I am at work.. I found a way to hack into my blog which makes me happy. I can't believe how bad it sucks to not have internet access from home.
I will be getting back to all of you shortly and try to post a message on my homepage.

WOW NAGOYA!!
Well its Saturday night. I have been here for almost a week now. I am still in the Marriott hotel here above the Nagoya Station. Its a very nice hotel. I have stayed here my first week because I have to get my house ready. I had to pick up my car on Monday and there other days I have been shopping everyday. I only brought clothes with me. So I had to buy everything...TV, table, bed, coffee table, carpets, washer, fridge, microwave, rice cooker.... everything!!! I also had to get my internet set up. It will not be ready for another 2 weeks. The US is much much easier to get internet set up and going. I also had to get my skyperfect TV going. I will die over here if I don't get some US news and programs.
So I am about ready to start I think. I start work on Monday. Tomorrow I will check out and go to my new house. I was going to check out this morning but decided since my company is paying the bill I will enjoy one more night and just relax and enjoy the service. So its been good. Tomorrow will be a little different.
It is really warm here compared to Utah. I feel like its May here. I went to my company office a couple days ago to pick up some paper work. My new boss looked at me and said "You must be cold. Why are you wearing a short sleeve t-shirt?" I told him its very warm compared to Utah. His comment was, "mou shogakusei jya nai kara!!". Maybe I really am still just a kid. Anyway a kid at heart! But it is warm here. I am not used the weather yet. Maybe this week I will start to feel cold. But everyday I have been driving to one store and driving to another. I still don't have my cell phone yet. Maybe I will go tomorrow. I just haven't had time yet. I also will get a computer. So I am looking at a good place to maybe find one. I need one asap.
Well thats it. My jet lag is over. I am almost done shopping but still not ready to start my new job. I guess I have no choice. I will mentally get myself ready tomorrow.
Its been an interesting week. I guess I will enjoy my coke and curry now and watch a little tv.
good night ....

Finished work....
Well I finished my work at my office here in Utah. It was kind of hard to leave. I have really enjoyed working with all my co-workers. So kind of sad for me. I have really been comfortable working and living here in Utah. So I am a little nervous to leave. Also, I am a little nervous to see what happens when I transfer back to Utah. I guess I shouldn't worry about that so much. The biggest concern I have is working back in a Japanese office. Long days and not a lot of small talk. I like to work hard but I also have a life outside work. Many of the people I will be working with in Japan put work before anything. Its a different culture. I work to live not live to work.
Well my company gave me a big going away party with my favorite pizza from "The Pie". We had lots of coke and cake also. I didn't do much work at all. Then yesterday it was my bosses birthday. So since I am leaving we decided to tin foil his office. We waited until he went home then got his office open and wrapped this computer, chair, pictures and other things in tin foil. He was surprised. It was fun. I have NEVER had a better boss. He is the best person I have ever worked with and I will miss him. But look forward to returning and hopefully working with him again. I will still be working with him but from Japan. I also have a new boss in Japan which will be a little difficult I think. But thats life. It will be a good experience.
Here is a picture of him and his office.

Well I guess I need to finish packing. Tomorrow I have to wash all my cars and make sure my house is clean and locked up before I go. Its a little sad to leave this comfortable place but I will be back sometime. I think the next few years will just fly by. I do look forward to good food and meeting lots of new people. It should be a good experience.
