: notes to self :

oh irony.

i used to get so annoyed when my students in Japan would respond to my "how are you?" with a uninspired "i'mfinethankyouandyou?" like, kids, that's not how real life convos work you know!



nowadays at work, the usual early morning greetings with my coworkers goes as follows:

me: good morning
coworker: morning, how are you?
naomi: i'm fine thanks, you?
coworker: i'm fine thanks.

i should really work for the mombusho. dress-up dinner tonight, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
