Let's Get Brainwashed.

I'm a little sad at the moment, for many reasons. The world is in an economic crisis and we are here in Japan toasting and cheering for each other on the 40th floor of a building overlooking the city. Everyone who attended the class got an award, but not me since I am not a manager nor was I a student. The trip is over. Everyone was happy and everyone said goodbye. Everyone said to everyone, "Keep in touch," but I know that is not true. I realize more and more how I am parading around in this false pretense on the Company's behalf - they send me to training, pay for this extravagant week, and I feel even further from my dreams. And it's Friday night in Nagoya, and I have no interest in going outside to explore the nightlife alone.

Tomorrow I leave.
