Why can&#8217;t I find T-shirts like that when I go shopping?<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m one of the interviewers, but this time I am sitting it out.  I&#8217;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&#8217;m not sure why I&#8217;m off the team, but Mr. Hayashi felt really bad.  He wants me to come to Graciani&#8217;s for dinner afterwards, and he&#8217;s trying to set me up with one of the ladies from the office.  What he doesn&#8217;t know is that the lady in the office is a friend of Kuniko&#8217;s, and she knows all about our relationship.  <\/p>\n<p>Kuniko will be an interviewer at the school on Sunday, so we will be working together again.  Mr. Hayashi told me that he didn&#8217;t want to invite any other women to Graciani&#8217;s because they don&#8217;t like to have to share the attention they get from the men.  I just smile, nod, and continue to be amazed.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Kuniko and I have made some plans behind the scenes.  Hopefully she&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I&#8217;m hoping that the yakitori is open &#8211; I really want to say hello to the master before I leave for America!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the way to school today I saw a lady wearing a T-shirt that said, no kidding, &#8220;I Want To Barry My Face In Your Breasts&#8221;.
