If you know the feeling “reunion”, feel warmth when it crosses your mind. I felt some kind of those feelings today. My former co-workers visited this afternoon.

I’ve worked for some companies after I graduated from Asia University, was 22. I didn’t much like to work before, though now am too. The first place I’ve worked was Himeji Flower Auction, inc. As the name says, the deed it does is auction of flower. In many countries, out of Japan don’t have—I guess—auction company for flower. I doubt if Japanese know about it.

The company lies in Hyogo, next to Osaka, surrounded by rice fields. Somehow I’ve got a job from there. To be honest, I didn’t have enough units to graduate when was about to be senior. I’ve got to earn about 50 units—we needed 128 for graduate and most guys finished when the junior year was over—but I finished only 40% when the others were in job seeking. When I was certain, most jobs were taken. I didn’t have any choice, although I didn’t actually feel like working. But the reluctance turned into joy; the job was really fun to do. I’ve worked there almost 2 years till I went to the U.S.

My close workers came, three of them. They came as an outing; they were supposed to check how well plants were growing, but they didn’t. We just talked till my mother finally said I should work. One of my superior was married but many not yet. It was good reunion.

Today’s journal was pointless…….
