Oh joy! Great balls of fire and whatnot. School officially ended today. All I have to say is it is about fucking time. I will enjoy my vacation. Getting to sleep until 7, getting to ride my bike in the sweltering heat, working eight hours. . . wait a minute, this isnt vacation. This is some bullshit. Leave it to the Japanese to sweeze anything that might be fun out of my summer by, get this, REQUIRING that I show up to work. I mean, they are paying me, but this is school, summer if highly optional, unless you are that kid on the basketball team that needs to pull straight D's in summer school so that you can play.
Even more sad, is the end of school ceremony we had today. Are kids wearing smiles and excited about all the possibilities of summer? No, they are getting ready to really start practicing those sports. " I am excited for this summer because I can really practice badminton hard ." Saddesting thing I heard all week. Are the teachers joyous and looking forward to those days where they dont have to put up with stupid ass shit for at least a couple days? No, they got other things to deal with.
The thing that I really like about going to work in the summer is watching the teachers fall asleep at their desks. There is something about watching people while they slowly nod off, catch themselves, nod off again, catch themselves again, collect the dribble of spit hanging from their mouths and finally fall asleep. You can see a persons true self in this process. If anyone needs a vacation and to get laid (execpt for the two teachers who are cheating on their loved ones with each other and EVERYONE knows, heck I know and I am about as far from the grapevine as you can be), its these folks. These guys put Mark Bailey to shame and they do it twelve months a year! Hardcore.
