One of those Days where Everything Went Wrong!!
I know most Japanese people are very calm, and people don't have tantrums every other day. I didn't feel it so much, when I was working for foreign companies in Tokyo, but now that I live with my beloved family deep in the rural Saitama prefecture, I find my emotional tone is in fact very different from the people living around me. Don't get me wrong - I'm usually a very well balanced person, quiet, and I don't go around asking looking for fights. I had one of those days were everthing went wrong. I discovered the courier service lost the document I sent over to my boss - namely receipts coming to a very large sum of money - and that's all gone down the drain. I had to file a complaint to the courier people, and let them know that it was not okay to lose the stack of receipts I entrusted in their hands, and demanded that they try tracing the document. Apparently, one employee ditched a batch of documents he could not be bothered to deliver. Two of the bank ATMs shut down on me while I was trying to make a bank transfer booking on the machines. What is wrong with my day today???Back in my UK single days, on a day like this, I used to go to concerts, visit museums or gallaries, to get me back to my senses. I also had lots of friends that I could talk to at a local cafe and with whom I could have a good laugh, and that would have made me feel much better. Right now, being a working a kind of foreign mom working at home, I really do not have anyone to talk to!!! All my good friends are overseas now, and I do exchange e-mails with them. I have not stepped out of the country now for eleven - yes, 11 elf, jyuuichi years! - and that is the longest I've stayed in one country ever!!!I really wish I could go to Europe one day soon to get my frustrations out! I know Japanese people get rid of their stresses by visiting hot springs. I find cultural & artistic stimulation does magic to bring me back to my usual self. I hope a good CD and a good cup of coffe will do the magic!How do you get rid of your frustrations and stress??
