Last
Sunday, I went to CC partly to pass the staff there two bags of snacks I got in
Tokyo. Because it was a Formula 1 day, I expected HIM to be there. I could see HIM
inside watching the car racing TV program and I intentionally placed myself at
the outside counter. After the race ended, HE was standing for a while at the
entrance step as if looking for something or someone. I thought HE had left and
then HE came to me from behind in a way that seemed hesitant or sneaky. Jobless
for a year, HE looked rather sick. Inevitably out talk turned to HIS job search
and I was quite impatient listening to HIS story. For the past year, HE says HE
has been hoping a HE would be able to find a better-paid position. I told him
essentially that HE did not have such a luxury any more. HE was almost in tears,
and as HE left CC HE asked me about my marriage plan. It seems that is HIS
concern. Give me a break.

And
yesterday an old couple came to this place to repair the leaking toilet. The man
opened the tank cover and said holding the flush valve, “Spoiled. Change.” No
way. Water was seeping out of the bottom of the toilet bowl and the valve had nothing
to do with the problem. As soon as I said so, he gave up cheating me. Then it
was a major operation as the man moved the whole bowl away from the joint. Literally
shitty work. He used a few tools but basically it was bare-hand work.
