job hunting

Job hunting is a very very slow process right now.
I sighed up for 2 temp agency when I returned from 九州. One of them offered me 3 jobs. They were all good and they paid pretty well but I wanted to wait till I had the interview with this other temp agency. It was worth the wait. They offered me a better job. It pays about the same as the other job but the work seemed more fun.
The job is for an editing assistant at a German publishing company. I will basically be in charge of proof reading and helping the writer publish his/her paper in English. The 60% of the published work is medical related so it's a pretty nice deal for me.
Hope I get the job!

Leo the Cat

Some of you may remember by kitty cat named Leo. He was this ball of fur. He fetched this plastic mice and was very affectionate.
When I moved to Japan, I left him behind and found him a wonderful home.
Unfortunately he passed away this month due to a car accident.
I cannot imagine the pain I have caused for the family that was taking care of him. But I do thank them from the bottom of my heart for taking in Leo as part of their family.
Please don't forget him!!!!
