Ok....so I'm home from work now...today was my final evaluation during probation....we get a one week evaluation, a three week, and a final, so I know it could have been better but it wasn't horrible....I'll know the results after the New Year. So lately in voice, I've been doing "Dream Interpretations," in my voice class and they like it....I've had several people ask how I do it, and if it's psychology, I give props to Jesus....I'll say, yes I went to a class, but I mainly just ask Jesus. One guy said that he had a personal dream that he would like to share with me sometime....I haven't seen him since last week, but hopefully, I'll see him soon....it's weird because I started talking about dreams with my co-workers and then I interpreted a couple of them and they freaked out....one person was like, "Are you doing fortune telling," and I had to clarify big time...I told them there's a difference and what the difference was, and how I don't believe in fortune telling and psychics....
On another note, I went to Shibuya for the second time and coming home, I miss the last train for the second time....the first time, I had money to spare, the second time, I almost had a freakin' breakdown....I was like, " I did not come to Japan to spend all my money on cabs!!!!" So I get to a city called Yokohama and the last train had left...so I thought it wouldn't be that hard to find someone to split a cab with....it's done all the time in NY, but sometimes I have to remind myself that this is not NY....anyway, I'm trying to ask anyone by the wait area to share a cab with me....I mean, it's not like you can jump out on paying the fair...the doors automatically open and close per the taxi driver....so no one's paying me any attention...so I go next door into this security station and I just broke down....it was like all of this pent up emotion...I cried and cried and was like, all I have is 10,000 yen on me and I know it's 11,000 yen to get home, but I just need to get home and sleep in my bed, can someone help, and translate for me? I want to share a cab...so the lady security officer stands outside with me, mind you, it's raining and cold and by this time 1:15am....so no one's responding so someone passing mentioned that it would be cheaper to get a hotel for the evening and then go on the first train in the morning....so off I go in search of a hotel....the Sheraton right across the street I heard would have been 30,000 yen so I didn't even look there, but I couldn't find a hotel within sufficient walking distance....I didn't want to get lost so I turned around and went back to the security office to cry some more. Finally, I stand outside with the security lady again and a gentleman walks up and says, "English?" I said yes and tell him my dilema....I told him if he could translate to the taxi driver to take me to (7-11) to an ATM by me and I'll give him the rest of the money....he told me it would be better for me to get the money prior to the taxi ride....so off I go again with the guy and the security lady to a (7-11)...He gave me his card and he wrote information down for the taxi driver, and I got home around 3am.....I was grateful just to be home....get this...his company deals with Organizational Development....My Masters is soooooo related....I'm going to send him a thank you email now.....well, until next blog........
