| This is not sayonara, but "shitsurei-shimasu!" |
 Before you assume it's a curse, shitsurei in Japanese means "rude" and shimasu is the verb of doing. You must say this every day as you are finish work: I'm being rude for going home after doing everything required of me!! Forgive me for leaving before you! Man. I'm a world-class jerk! See you at 8am tomorrow!!
(Saying sayonara at the end of day implies that you won't be back for awhile. Feel free if you are actually off on a journey, but if you're quitting your job, it helps to say your foreign farewells with the level of gusto employed by pre-gubernatorial Arnold... BayBEE.)
Phnom Penh and ridiculously cute kids at CCF await! I'm on a plane tomorrow, and everything else is decidedly less concrete. Shitsureishimasu, Seattle. Thanks for the lattes. Back sometime later. Don't wait up. |

About Me: “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.” (Florence Nightingale)
