Work and Life

Sorry for the delay in making a posting. As you might have guessed, things have been a bit busy recently. I started my new job at Weathernews on the 14th of July. It's been pretty hard going for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are a lot of new things to learn and it is really tiring trying to focus constantly for 10 hours each day. Secondly, travelling 4 hours each day has left me a jibbering wreck. Thirdly, we are now approaching the peak of the Japanese summer where the temperatures and humidity make sleep, life, and work hard.

Anyway, some aspects of my life will soon improve. I have found a small apartment that is only 5 minutes cycle from my new job. That will mean I can get up at 7.30am and easily make it to work for 8.30am. That also means when I get home, I will have time to relax or do something constructive. I will try and take my camera to Kaihim Makuhari next week to get some pictures of the area and my new pied a terre.

The area seems to be a good place to stay. I will be in a quiet neighbourhood area which is close to some great shops and restaurants. The only drawback is that I won't see Clara and Yuki for 3 or 4 days each week. More information to follow soon.
