Tracey's the biggest loser at NOVA

Not a whole lot of news to report, but I thought I'd pass on another stupid Tracey story.

So we get to work this morning (this btw is AFTER she walks past Jason and I on the train, only to sit by herself at the opposite end of the carriage) and we are looking at the schedule, the conversation goes as follows:
V - Sorry Tracey this will have to change. I am not teaching Masaki twice in a row, no one should have to do that.
T - Masaki's not that bad.

So I assume she doesn't really mind trading classes and when Kanae, one of the Japanese staff, comes into the staffroom several minutes later, I show her the schedule to ask her if it's ok to change because I already have Masaki earlier in the morning (which if the schedule is made correctly you shouldn't have a student more than once). She says of course, asks if the classroom numbers can stay the same, and I say yeah no problem and write the changes on the schedule.

Then, just a few minutes later I go out front to copy some stuff for one of my kids classes and Tracey is out there talking to Kanae and I hear something about her wanting the classrooms changed. And as I finish my copying she says to me something along the lines of how in the future I should ask her if she wants to trade classes, blah blah blah...she had the opportunity to object and all she said was "Masaki's not that bad." Sure, its not a right out YES, but its certainly not a NO either. AND the only reason she went out front to talk to Kanae was to try and make me look bad, as there was absolutely NO point changing the rooms as it only makes more work for the staff as they have to remember to tell the students.

I'm telling you, all people in Japan (with VERY few exceptions), fit into one of those three categories as mentioned in a previous post. Tracey is flat out stupid and just weird! Then on the bus on the way home from work, she is standing right behind Billy in line and when we get on the bus Billy sits behind the seat Jason and I are sitting on and Tracey is no where to be seen, she decided to sit somewhere totally different then us. Did I mention that her new roommate told us that Tracey has her futon in her closet and that's where she sleeps?? Yeah...whatever...one person I'm not sad to be leaving in the least.

But my TOEIC (special lessons to prepare for a specific English exam) student Reiko asked me if I would go over to her house before I leave Japan. Well actually she asked me if I would like her house. I made a joke about taking it back to Canada with me but I don't think she got it. So anyways we made plans for March 20th.

I also heard about this website today: www.Engrish.com

It's pretty funny it has a bunch of postings about Japanese English in advertising and consumer products, if you're looking for something to do online sometime and want a bit of a chuckle, it's worth it to check it out.

No more news about Delta or Air Canada, turns out their costumer services lines close at 5:30pm in Japan. What sense does that make???
