Day off? Not much chance of that! Spent this morning on the phone organising stuff and the rest of the day trying to do the new catalogue designs. This year I’ll also be at the AJET Info Fair at the Tokyo orientations, and I’ll need 3,000 of them in English! Which means they have to be at the printers, errrr. yesterday.

Then in the evening I headed off to Nagasaki for a nice dinner with a couple of ALTs and a couple of Japanese teachers one of whom had to be on some form of medication! He was Mr Genki, and never stopped talking!! I should have videod him to play to the new ALTs at orientation, “Some of you may have really boring teachers, and some of you may have this guy!”. But it was cool, then off to my homestay and another hour or so of work once everyone had gone to bed!
