Temping ain't easy ..
Anyone who has ever been to Japan should be familiar with those annoying people who stand outside of the train stations and departments stores shoving flyers and tissues into the hands of unsuspecting passersby, and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Well.. I got me a new part-time job as one of those annoying people. I hand out flyers for an English school. Its not that bad.. I get to pretend that I'm
"Flyerman", without the leather jacket, and without the Uptown Theatre, and without the eye contact; Japanese people are exceptionally good at ignoring things. Especially when those things are shoving flyers in their faces.. I have to say though, I'm a big hit wiht the over-40 ladies set. I think its cause lots of peoples' mothers want them to study english... I hope...

Haha, that sounds like Winston talking. Hey, see if you can get a job as a movie extra. I'm sure the industry is always looking for those token tall dark and handsome english speakers.
Damian, you so gotta somehow get a picture of yourself doing this. That way we can make fun of you for years to come...I mean, we can...uh, respect you for years to come...yeah, that's it...

No nude women and no tissues (with quotations or otherwise) although either might make the time pass a little faster. Today I was supposed to hand stuff out to students as they arrived at school, but I found out that when I arrived, everyone was already inside. What a waste.
