On the way to school today I saw a lady wearing a T-shirt that said, no kidding, “I Want To Barry My Face In Your Breasts”. Why can’t I find T-shirts like that when I go shopping?
I finished marking my exams, and so Mr. Hayashi and I spent the morning chatting and catching up. This weekend is the STEP test. Usually I’m one of the interviewers, but this time I am sitting it out. I’m going to help by being a supervisor. It pays half as much as an interview, but there is no real work to speak of. I’m not sure why I’m off the team, but Mr. Hayashi felt really bad. He wants me to come to Graciani’s for dinner afterwards, and he’s trying to set me up with one of the ladies from the office. What he doesn’t know is that the lady in the office is a friend of Kuniko’s, and she knows all about our relationship.
Kuniko will be an interviewer at the school on Sunday, so we will be working together again. Mr. Hayashi told me that he didn’t want to invite any other women to Graciani’s because they don’t like to have to share the attention they get from the men. I just smile, nod, and continue to be amazed.
Anyway, Kuniko and I have made some plans behind the scenes. Hopefully she’ll be able to come visit me on Saturday and stay the night, and maybe again on Monday. I asked Mr. Hayashi for some extra time off to do some shopping, but it will really be time for Kuniko and I to spend together before I ship off to California.
Tonight I’m hoping that the yakitori is open – I really want to say hello to the master before I leave for America!
