i love/hate when people come back from trips to the office and leave food on their desks for everyone to eat. i find out via the office-wide emails they send out. sucks that when im feeling hungry but too cheap to buy a snack, i can only drool over the food from a distance. i don’t wanna be that guy who comes over and take/gobbles up the food unannounced. also, sometimes its people who aren’t in my division which means i really don’t know them. plus that means i have to make small talk which is the worst. can’t people put the food in a more centralized and not so awkward place? like the coffee room?

ps. in japan, or maybe just my office, there’s no water cooler. we have a cool looking machine that dispenses water, ice or water + ice. ill take a pic next time :)

two tourists in tokyo and i

“what no! i told u we’re lost!!….”
“..let’s ask taht guy over there….”
“wait no i asked last time you ask this time..”
“fine…”

“um… hi .. hello? we …”
“i speak english…”
“oh thank god!”

and then i proceed to give them directions and as they thank me and are about to leave one goes “your English is excellent!”

in retrospect, i shouldn’t told them i speak english. ahah i should have let it play out and messed with their heads. :)
