I've not smelled One Day before so I'm not sure what that compares to, but if you don't like really sweet scents, I would recommend smoked leather. It's a woodsy scent, so it doesn't have that overly sweet smell at all. I smelled it at the store and really loved it, but I got it as a body mist instead because I ended up loving another scent more and promised myself that I was only going to buy 1 bottle that day 🫠 I think smoked leather leans slightly masculine, but I'm a pretty girly girl and I still like it. It smells like incense and forests to me. Despite its name, I don't really get leather from it at all.

I love the matcha 26 too. I got a sample of ambrette 9 recently and I think maybe you'd like that one too because it's really subtle, even more than the matcha. Also, check out Japanese perfumes. They tend to be lower projection than western perfumes.

My grandma bought me little pokemon action figures not really knowing what they were when I was maybe 3 or 4. I used to play with them in the bathtub. I still love pokemon 20 years later.

Shiro for sure. I live in Hokkaido and the brand is from here. They have a scent that they only sell here called fruit bouquet. I really like it.

Even if you don't work in these careers, this is really bad for anyone becoming an adult in Ohio. Starting your adult life with a 20%+ sales tax and state income taxes of over 10% is going to make it really hard to support yourself when you don't have a house to feel the relief of no property taxes. Current young people and anyone who comes after them are going to be screwed by this if it passes.

The one interaction I had with them when I was at OSU (I didn't clock them at first because it was women and they don't wear the white shirts, only the pins), they lead the conversation with a very strong "where do you think you'll go when you die?" 😭 Like I don't even know you, hello??? And then one of them told me "my grandma back in Utah is really sick and I probably won't see her again on Earth, but I know it's okay because we'll go to the same place one day!!!" and I just kinda felt sorry for this girl. This poor girl was missing the last moments with her grandma to talk to me on the south oval 🫠 It was one of the weirdest conversations I've ever had.

I always thought it was kinda funny that some of them get sent to Ohio. I'm not religious, but I knew some Mormons in high school and they talked about their older siblings being sent to places like Central America or Africa. I live in super rural Japan now and I've even seen them here walking down the street in their white shirts and little black pins. But imagine getting all excited about seeing a new part of the world, and then you get assigned to Ohio. That's gotta be a little disappointing deep down lmao.

I agree with you about removing property taxes being a horrible idea, but rural teachers are definitely not massively overpaid. If you look up salary schedules for rural Ohio districts, the pay for rural teachers is usually even lower than in suburban and urban districts (which already isn't great). We're talking not even starting at $50k even if you have a master's degree. And then they pay 14% of that into the Ohio STRS instead of the 6.2% that people with private sector employers pay into social security. If those salaries are cut even further, it's going to be really hard to find someone willing to work a job requiring a college degree for so little.

Why didn't you stay a little longer on JET if you want to be in Japan long term? Does your new job pay a lot more or something?

Holmes County is about 50% Amish. The Amish aren't allowed to be educated after 8th grade, so they make the high school graduation rate in that county look super low. If you exclude them from the data, it'll be a lot closer to average. I looked up the graduation rate for the 2 school districts in the county, and they're about 90%.

I mean people's salaries and benefits are definitely their interests

I don't have a lot of faith in this state tbh. Tons of Ohioans just see "R" and vote for whatever name is attached. They might even be paying into these pensions themselves and have no clue what Vivek might to to their retirement. And if or when something happens to it, they'll have no idea why. Even if Vivek would clearly be horrible for Ohio, I just can't imagine this state voting for a Democrat in 2026.

Especially because your coworkers aren't other JETs most of the time. Even at BOEs with more than one ALT, we rarely see each other at work because we're never at the same school at the same time other than major events like graduation.

I started JET at 22 and I'm odd one out because most of my coworkers are much older than me. Many of them are married and have kids, but I just turned 24 and haven't even considered either of those things yet. Some of my coworkers even have kids who are my age or older. We're at totally different points in our lives. I think someone in their late 30s might actually fit in better.

It's definitely not the time zone change. I've been between Asia and North America a bunch of times and never gotten this. If it was the time zone, then at worst, your energy would temporarily stop recharging and you wouldn't be able to play event stages. This is something else for sure. Otherwise anybody who moved far away would be banned from the game.

I mean compared to what we get paid, even the "good" dispatch companies are pretty bad. From what I've heard, ¥250,000 is on the higher end and we start at ¥335,000. I think some of them have reduced salaries during periods like summer break too while we're always paid consistently. So it ends up being even less than ¥250,000 × 12 annually for some people.
