Yeah, it's been quite interesting so far. Take this example sentence: "ちょっと怒りたいことがあるんですけど". Said by our handler to one of the guys at work. Priceless! "Want to be angry"? So be angry! is what I think, but anyway. The job is basically "translation" Swedish/Japanese, but it's not as fancy as that. It's about sort of digging up words in Swedish and analyze them in various ways. Can get a little boring, at times, I suppose, but it's a great job I'd say. Thanks a lot, Mark!

That's a great opportunity to see what the working life is like inside a Japanese company! What will you be doing role/responsibility wise? Your intro paragraph "like my other job as an English teacher" could be taken as meaning either that this is another English teacher position or that it's something different. :-P Congrats for scoring the job.

Even worse when you don't realize it's happening. Just the slightly panicky feeling of "o shit i forgot the hat". :P Yeah. Even worse when you don’t realize it’s happening.

Especially when it's something that stays with you for so so long. Conditioning can be a scary thing! Especially when it’s something that stays with you for so so long.
