Friday night

A good day overall. Things at work kept me quite busy today, but it felt like a productive and effective days worth of effort. No big challenges or failings report, so that is an even greater plus. I also got to have lunch at that Nepal restaurant with the bomb curry, and that had me in a REALLY good mood for my last two adult classes of the day. One of them was a private lessen where I just talked Japanese and American politics with the student, which was very interesting and enjoyable. My last class had some cool personalities in it and totally had me leaving work in smiles. Having cool and fun students is such a gift >_<

With regard to my kids, I have come to realize (with the help of a co-worker) that my little molesters merely just like me and are comfortable with treating me like their Dad or big brother. Another reason I let myself believe this is because one of my molesters seems to like the head teacher even more than me haha. Right in front of her mom, she got on top of his lap facing him and was touching his face and stuff like she was about to go in for a kiss. Poor guy has it worse then I do; she even said that she was gonna marry him once! I guess I have nothing to complain about HAHAHA. So I now view my treatment from these girls (except for the scrotum tap) to be cute and endearing. I am a "cool uncle" or something I guess. . .Until halfway through class and they get bored with me teaching them that is -_-. I'll figure them out though. I will have every kids class going well more often then not!

Another interesting event we had today was a workshop where we learned about the Kaizen philosophy and how to apply it to our school. Basically, Kaizen is a philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. As time goes on, things change, and Kaizen endeavors to ensure that a person or company can efficiently adapt to the changes it faces or better itself in any way. Our approach in implementing the philosophy was to write down problems in the work place and then share our ideas and then decide on the most feasable beneficial routes of action. It was interesting and I like the idea. Hopefully it bears fruit for us.

Tomorrow is Saturday and I am happy for it. I have to have a follow up meeting with my manager and head teacher about my performance as a teacher as well as my impression of the company thus far. It is to prep me for the coming follow up training I have on the third. I have some ideas of what to expect but am totally unsure of how good or bad it will go. We shall see. As for classes, it is all adults tomorrow, so that should be fine and enjoyable. Then for the night I am planning on dancing again and can't wait. This dancing once a month trend is for the birds!

Hopefully good news, pics, and a story or two to come of the weekend.

Catch ya!
