August 28, 2008 - Minquan West Road and Chengde Road in the late afternoon.
September 6, 2008 - Dunhua North Road and Nanjing East Road with Taipei Arena across the street there. The fascade is a huge jumbotron. I don't know what they're called now. Back in my day, they were called jumbotrons and were exclusively made by Sony.
I got my job back at work after someone got fired this week. I'd been marginalized for the past six months, relegated to working weekends, because I refused to work with her. Then my old boss retired and the new boss apparently felt the same way I did, only he is higher up the food chain.
I'm just being dramatic when I say I got my job back, it's really not like that. From their point of view, the terms of my employment were simply renegotiated, and I'm doing them a favor by agreeing to work more shifts. And apparently everyone knew about the beef between us, as people have been coming up to me asking, "So now that she's gone, you're going to be working more days, right?"
For now. I've agreed to work through April. I still plan to go to the U.S. in May. Whether the job is still there when I get back is up to fate.

aw, look at all the scooters! that's what we need here...more scooters!
where do you work? what do you do?
more greenhouse gases! yay! haha, actually I hear the motor scooters are less polluting than cars, but I think that's just on an individual scale. When you have a motor scooter culture, it's pretty bad.
I'm a copy editor at a English language newspaper. It's pretty unglamorous, but I'm well-informed!
