Today is another one of those days where my factory is working, and the rest of Japan is on holiday. Because they don’t like to shut down the factory mid-week and then fire it all up again the next day. They are banking the holiday and we’ll get to enjoy it later on down the line connected to some other holidays that have been shifted. That means today I’ll go to work and ride the train on the holiday schedule, and I’m sure to get a seat. It is a weird feeling going to work on a holiday – it is like a ghost town – but as you get closer to the factory things get more and more normal.
Kuniko has the day off today, and she’ll likely be working on paperwork at home and doing some relaxation. She’s certainly earned it. I’m not sure why, but she is up and about at 6 am this morning drinking coffee and enjoying morning TV. Lucky girl.
