The servers seem to be working fine now. The exact same problem popped up last year at the exact same time while I was on vacation in Vancouver with Tomoe. I spent my vacation nights on the phone giving instructions on how to work with the server. Luckily this time it is all fixed before I go home.
I had a wonderful chat with a phone salesman tonight who wanted me to rent an expensive new apartment. I told him I have no money and he said "no problem... you can get a loan". I started chatting with him and pretty soon we were planning to open a new company together that would rent great apartments for people with no money and no loan, and we would also allow pets and loud music in the middle of the night. I thought we were really on to something after about 5 minutes of discussing pit plans, but when I asked him his name so I could hire him as my sales manager he hung up on me.
Tomoe has gone home and left the birds. She was supposed to stay here and take care of them while I am in the US. Now I have to find someone else... If you are living in Tokyo and I know your number, don't be surprised...
After making several appointments with University of Michigan Information Science people, and then canceling them one by one as I realized my schedule, I finally got one day where I think I can actually make it. Of course I also wanted to go to the dentist... Japanese dentists SUCK!!!! (I am only speaking on my own personal experience) It has been way too long since I have seen a dentist (just over a year I think) because the last one I went to couldn't even read his chart without help... how can I trust him to work in my mouth!!! I have had only bad experiences with Japanese doctors as well. Once I was told I had a deadly condition. Luckily out of the group of students who had their physical at the same time as me, 10% of them also were diagnosed with the same rare condition. I was the 5th person to see the doctor, and had already spoken to the other people who had been given the bad news.... by that time I was expecting it. I did feel sorry for that first guy though... think of how scared he must have been.
We are all still alive.
