I am working part time at the complay where my mother works.
They make pachinko slots (slot machine). I worked from 9 am upto 5 pm. My butt hurts from sitting,
but we had 2 10 min breaks, and lunchtime. I made 441 center parts, those are the parts where the
pachinko balls drop, it's around the screen. It's pretty big, and heavy, so my arm really
hurts. I have to connect 3 wires, it was so hard at first
, but I got how it works, and it became easier.
I have to put the switch on a small machine, and watch the if it lights up properly, or it moves and
doesn't make an odd sound. My index and middle finger got sore, and bled a bit, but I didn't feel any pain, just
saw that it was slightly bruised. Good thing I thought of cutting my fingernails before starting the job.
After that I made 30, on another piece, then something easy when i was about to go home.
I was so tired and sleepy on the way home, I drowsed a bit inside the train, because my mother had
something to do, that she can't come and pick me up. Then we ate at McDonalds, and when
I arrived home, I layed on the sofa, then got really sleepy, so I took a little nap
.
I was relieved that my arm got a bit better, but there is still some pain in my shoulder.
I experienced how tough and tiring my mother's job is. There are a lot of Filipinos
working there, so they teach me sometimes. There annoying people too, but I
know there will always be annoying people in workplaces, anywhere you go.
So I think this'll be quite a lesson. I hated it when the woman assumed I can't understand Japanese. I was a bit offended... And I guess it wasn't just me.
I'll work tomorrow too, well wish me luck... and I hope I do well.
The thing I hate most though, is that people around me smoke
. But hey, I can't complain, and besides
I'm fine and used with it. As long as I try to forget the bad things that
smoking can cause, and that you will still be affected even though you don't smoke
if there are people around you that do
.
I also have another part time job, in a small restaurant, but it's a Japanese restaurant, and it's not that big, 3 to 4 people cook, and there are 3~5 part time
servers that include me, who shift jobs. I only work on Sundays, coz I work
at my mother's place. But this week, I there seems to be lots of reservations on
Fri. Sat and Sun., So I might finish on 3 pm on the pachinko slots, and start at 5 pm. Well, the restaurant starts from 4 to 11/12.
Um, both my jobs aren't allowed at my school, but as long as they don't know, it
doesn't hurt. And besides, I will only do this during the summer vacation.
But the restaurant job is a different story. I will confide about it with my
class teacher. Coz the reastaurant serves alchohol, actually I have served and made
drinks several times! 
My school is strict so, I don't know if they will allow me. But the restaurant owner
is known by my uncle-in-law, he is the one who introduced me.
I need to watch the Harry Potter film!!!!!!!!!
I have the friggin' ticket! But I don't have the time!
I wanna watch it soon! And also read the 7th book. I asked my father to buy me one,
and he is going to send it from London. Jeez, I can't wait!!!
