This blog is going on a brief hiatus as I attend to some urgent matters related to my imminent resignation. (Though strictly speaking, we’ve been on hiatus since the 10th, the date of my last post.)
Regular blogging resumes after QuitDay (i.e.: next Friday – woohoo!) or perhaps sooner, depending on how packed my schedule is.
Cheerio.
ディエゴの日々 
Have a smooth QuitDay! 🙂
Out of curiosity, what’ll you do in the meantime?
@Kitsune: Thanks. I should write the President and ask her to declare it a national holiday. 😉
@Zeroblade: Currently, I have no intention of seeking employment within the next few months, which gives me plenty of time to recover from stress-induced burnout. For starters, I plan to take twice-weekly or thrice-weekly Japanese classes (now that my weekdays have been freed up). I’m also putting together an itinerary for a two-week swing through Japan, tentatively scheduled for the last week of March through the first week of April – just in time for hanami season, I hope! Trouble is, those darned cherry trees are notoriously fickle when it comes to showing off their blossoms, so it’s hard to pin down an exact date. My time frame is based on the Tokyo and Kyoto bloom forecasts for 2007 and 2008.
