Dream

5:20am JST Wednesday 24 June 2009 (day 14336)

On the way out of town after the trial, I remembered I needed to stop by and pick up my money. I called the office from Laura (Guennie's) car as she was driving, and I had a bagel sandwich and I got the bad news, "um, eah, we won't have the money until tomorrow or Monday," and I got, "but I'm leaving town tonday," "yeah well we don't have it all," "can I get a partial payment?" "no" "can I have you transfer it to my account lter?" "no" "wel you guys made the mistake, so I expect you guys to fix it," and I realized that wasn't a very useful way of putting it, certainly not by Dale Carnegie's standardards, so I tried another tactic, "um yeah I know youguys are working really hard," as I was agreeing with what she was saying as excuses, and by that time we arrived at the location. I saw the building, looking like a ranger station in the trees with parking around it and saw al the families (mostly mommies with kids) and went up to the desk and then walked away cause I was still on the phone and then walked by the drinking trough, and then Danielle (Maggie's roommate) was like, "see I told you," and walked by..

I was headed back to the car and saw an info desk with two girls, and I was like, "what if, hypothetically, you were going out of town and needed some money and your friend owed some money but they didn't have it, what would you do?" and they gave answers like, save money and where are you going to travel? and stuff and I was like, "well that's the thing; I can't because I don't have any oney to buy things like food," and they go "like what?" "food!" "ohhhhh" and the one girl pulled out an envelope and handed it to me with a smile. In it was US currency, some ones and fives and stuff, plus some change.

I was like, "hmmm I like that it's US Currency!" and "in what currency would you like to be repaid?" and as I looked frther inside, there were several checks as well, not yet signed, and I was like, "okay, you need to write 'pay to the order of' on the back, oh wait, no just sign the back, and I'll put your account number down. do you have an account number?" and she did so she signed the checks and time was getting a bit rushed for me to get out of town, and I was reading the check amounts written like, "1.25 * 5000 dollars" and stuff like that. Wow that was a lot of money she was handing over to me just cause it's in US Currency and there are no checks in Japan.

"... numerous fires were still burning and smoldering. Underground it was still so hot that molten metal dripped down the sides of the wall from Building 6."
