Ya January 25th every year I celebrate getting a little older and a little slower but hopefully a little wiser. The day stated off easy enough I went to my favorite client and did some server patching. That out of the way I headed to the office to get some parts for a job out in Sitama Minami Otsuka to be exact. As I sat down on the Yamanote line train I was busy thinking about my client who has had a lot of problems with thier multi billion YEN many terabyte raid and I was thinking about how I was going to trouble shoot the problem when I got there. If I had been paying more attention I might have noticed the sickly old man sitting down next to me. I could smell him but didnt think much about him till he threw up on my leg. Ya it wasnt alot but it was sick. I quickly used my company time sheet (that I needed at my clients site) to wipe the mess off my leg and off my bag. In a few minutes we were at Shinjuku station. I changed trains and threw away the time sheet and hopped on the next train. After a hour long train ride I made it too the client location. They were obsorbed in thier own problems. The didnt knotice when I smashed my head on their server rack or the smell comming from my bag. I only partially fixed thier problem so I had to go back the next day. I went home changed out of my puked on pants and got a hair cut and met a friend from Rochester. We went to a slightly expensive place to eat. I planed to pay but as we finnished up she got the bill while she went to the rest room. I was a little upset and embarrassed cause 1. I planed to pay 2. I ordered every thing on the menu 3. she makes about 1/3 of what I make. I resolved that there was not much to do about it but go somewhere else and drink more. E./
