the constant nose sniffling

It was more like the throat clear you use when you hock a big lugee. This boy did that every 10 seconds for about 20 minutes until he got off the bus. Thank goodness. It was one of those days. It started when the change machine on the bus ripped me off. How do I say that to the bus driver. So I just ripped it off by paying my fare 100 yen short. I might never get to ride the bus again.
So at school I was asking questions to the kids. Why is it that the teachers always defend the students. "oh he was tired today" "oh he studied hard last night and doesn't know the easy question to 'what are you doing after school'" that was one of their target sentence ALL FREAKING MONTH. So on to bingo. I said the word three times and still get the puzzled look but when the teacher says it, they understand. Maybe because she babies them so much and even points to the answers that they are all going to pass.
I said "imagine, imagine, imagine" i get the puzzled look and the teacher says it the same way and a light bulb turns on. So I ask myself why am I even here, when they don't pay attention to me? I think I am a novelty sometimes that the community can laugh at.

That sure was the case today when the bank wanted to charge me 1 man to send money home. About 100 dollars. I asked if he was sure. Good thing I didn't send money home. Then I went to the post office that could do it for about 25 dollars. Yes, but they didn't understand my banking situation. I was there for 2 hours and left crying after I even got on the computer to translate. They would not send it to my bank. Just a bad day. Come to find out when I called home to my bank, they might not be able to understand where it goes and could be sent back to Japan. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MONEY HOME. I am tempted to send 1000 dollars or more home in yen so that my bank can change it for me.

Feeling very frazzled today. Enough venting. I WILL HAVE A BETTER NIGHT. maybe dye my hair and be someone new.

Bruttney, don't let those (Attack of the Killer) Tomato Bank goblins get to you or your paycheck! I'm just a hop, skip and 20-minute drive away and will share all my banking knowledge with you...
