Notes to Self # 43243332566331 (damn i love those lists)
Must learn more conversational Japanese than anime & sushi.
For if the occasion (like today) should arise where your boss’s boss’s boss (a corny white boy mutt who laughs loudly and definitely does not mean any offense or disrespect) talks to you, mistakes you for Japanese, and then strikes up a casual exchange of phrases, be sure not to react excessively offensive, or in reply throw into anime insult gear and accidentally remark “cho to hen desuneh.. hentai desuka?”
Shit.
More embarrassing is the fact that he responds “Choto…”
And then rattles off another handful of phrases for a good 8 minutes before realizing that no, you don’t understand a damn thing about him spending the summer in Nagoya on an externship with Toyota. (blinking blink blink blinking blankly)
