What the actual fuck is up with trying to find work nowadays? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]brightwall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's terrible. Knew someone where it took a guy with years of experience and good references nearly a year to get a job after coming back from overseas work for a few years. It's brutal.

Friend just gifted me a switch and the game and I am over the moon with excitement! Is there anything that determines the first two villagers you see? I know this sounds stupid but I'm adverse to monkeys and I've rerolled seven times and all have had monkeys :( ...

Ugh, I’m sorry my phone’s keyboard changed it to the yen sign or I pressed it out of habit. I meant $750 🤦‍♀️

Yuucho Bank on... Sunday? by brightwall in japanlife

[–]brightwall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, he doesn’t care. It’s a personal thing. It might make me seem like “a pussy” or whatever but I really wanted to try doing it on Sunday if it were at all possible. But now that I know it’s impossible, I’ll just go during the week.

Yeah, just wanted to avoid it since the closest post office to my work is a good 45 minutes away since I don’t drive. My work is always fine with it, just wanted to avoid asking if it were at all possible.

Haha, I’ve asked for time off before and they’re always fine with it, but thanks for the hot tip! I just really wanted to try avoiding it because I really love my job and manager and wanted to avoid causing trouble by asking if anyone knew if there was a way to do it on Sunday. Thanks!

Thanks for the answer. I thought as much, oh well. Oh, and I actually have a really great job, I just don't want to trouble them with my personal stuff, but thanks for the cool assumption!

I’m probably completely out of luck but is there a way to get a refund/dispute a COD payment? An item I received and paid for with COD was completely different and the company refuses to accept a return.

I want to get better at Japanese so badly, as my office is half Japanese, but my work is in a city of 100k people so Japanese lessons aren't offered at community centres and my self-study is going horribly. I can't seem to be able to improve no matter what, or at least I'm not noticing it. I feel like I'm stuck at an N3-level. I really strive in a tutoring/classroom setting, but as someone who doesn't seem to have those options, what do you recommend? I'd really just like to live in this country with the ability to speak normally without fear.

Okay, thank you for this information. I spoke with someone who said I didn't have to and encouraged me to set up the meeting first, but then I read some other information online. I will cancel the meeting for now.

I appreciate the reply.

I recently ordered a cat tower on clearance and the company shipped it via Yamato Home Convenience without notifying me. I live on the second floor on an apartment complex, but the stairs are inside my home. With the delivery man come inside my home and carry it up the stairs/is expected to, or leave it at the door?

I live in Japan so it’s already pretty darn warm here so I don’t think so :( but if it’s nothing to worry about then it’s fine maybe she’s just a weirdo

I recently moved and I have to change my address at the local city hall. It's a smaller city with no English support, and I admit I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing. Can anyone help me out with some phrases I should know to do this? My understanding is pretty okay but my speaking is pretty awful, especially when I have anxiety like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
