another two-fer

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Today was another with two good things.

First, I met with an old boss at another life insurance firm. He told me at some length about the difficulties facing Tokyo and the problems with the employment situation there. And in particular about the problems faced by the firm he's with. But, he also suggested that there were a few people at that firm that remembered me fondly from way back, and that he'd keep an eye open on my behalf.

Then I went down to the lobby and met with someone I know who works at that same firm (he and my former boss don't know each other). He took me to a rather good Thai restaurant in the area and we caught up. Happily, we'd last seen each other about 18 months prior as he's the husband of one of Mari's closest friends. Like everyone else, he's got ideas on potential employers I can speak with.
