I met my boyfriend yesterday evening. He got an international drivers license.
He called up me last night. He said, "We should not to go to Orland because it will be too hot. Let's go to Miami." He bought a US guide book. My mom knows about it. She asks me, "When you get married?" ... well, well... he is still sick. after he gets well, I think.
... My mom asked me, "When you start working?"
I don't want to look for a new job for a while. I am so tired for changing jobs. I want to relax... is it stupid?
I told my dad that I will become a free lance. He understands me. Actually, my cousin is a designer as a free lance, too. Even now I am working at my home. I am not playing around...

My boyfriend and I are going to Florida (maybe Orland) from July 18th to July 22nd. He uses the United Airlines very often, so He got a companion voucher ticket valid until July 31st.
We were planning to go to Vancouver in Canada, but it was too expensive!! so we changed the plan.
I told him that I would be a free lance, but he didn't understand the details because he didn't care about IT. However, he is an expert in accounting so I can ask him how to report taxes.

Yesterday evening, I got a phone call from my previous co-workers. "Let's go out for lunch together tomorrow"
Then I met them for the first time in two months. They were talking about the current events at their company, it was stupid and crazy story.
They are selling for the ISP service, web hosting service or something about Internet. To persuade them, they needs the knowledge and skills about Internet, but most of them are not. If a sales person persuade customers about Internet services even though he doesn't have so much skills and knowledge, what will be happened? ... of course it is going to be a big trouble, right? If the client's Internet skills is more than the sales person, they will be disappointed and they will probably cancel the contract. Unfortunately, that's a present situation... even the boss doesn't know about that very well... that's terrible...
I have been keeping up my web site for more than four years, and I have a domain name. I think my skills are more than them. I think I have to tell them what is Internet.

My status will be completely changed. I have been working as a temp staff, but it will be finished on Friday the 13th :)
What I am going to do? I will become a free lance.
I have been changing jobs again and again and again.... Every time I have to make a resume, I am in trouble. How many times did I changed jobs? ... I don't remember.
This time, I wanted to work longer, but my boss said "No". He said, "You are not bad. I know you have fantastic skills so don't be sad.... but, you cannot manage several projects because you don't have the experience. If you are a member of our company, I will coach you very hard, but you are just a temp staff. so I cannot do that. I know you have a great web site, so why don't you stop a body employed and start your own business by that?"
Actually, my previous co-worker calls up me very often. He asks me to update the client web site. It is a company web site in Osaka.
And also, other previous co-worker need my help. They are sales persons for ISP, web hosting and telephone line.
There are a lot of Small and medium-sized enterprises in Osaka, but they don't know the merit of their own web sites for their promotions. You know, it is still a serious depression in Japan. I think I can help them.
