-Japan Gig!!

I got a job in Japan. I'm pretty pissed that the US market, specifically some of the cool service oriented jobs were such a pain in the ass with regards to paperwork, long wait times and resumes disappearing into the black hole of government bureaucracy. Guess that's why yours truley has seen the light and joined the private sector. No disses on the government but they're too old, too slow and too fuckin' cheap to get a guy like me, I suppose. Who wants to fill out endless forms, submit your resume three times (more if they decide to update their systems every other week!!!) and then wait and wait and wait until you're old enough to retire when you can simply find a nice private business that does the same work, submit one application, get a response in HOURS instead of MONTHS, get an interview in DAYS instead of NEVER, get the job in TWO WEEKS instead of NEVER HEARING FROM YOUR FUCKING RECRUITER AGAIN, and oh, by the way get DOUBLE THE FUCKING PAY! God help me if I can figure out how governments still exist. Oh, wait, that's right...they have a monopoly on the application of force...I almost forgot.

Anyway, I got this gig and I'll be stationed within load-blowing distance of Tokyo, so I'm pretty stoked about that. Mt. Fuji, here I come. You better be there when I get there, or I'll have to initiate a Shawnzilla tyrade through downtown Tokyo! RUUUUNNNNNN, IT'S SHAWNZILLA!!!!!!!!!!
