I think this was either late in the day after all the tourists have gone, or early in the morning before we left Tsumago.

View from Magome
I figure I'd post a couple of shots from our trip to Japan this past April. This was taken in Magome. Very nice scenery.

Idiots are killing us!
I have just this one comment about work: Idiots really do want to kill you.
Should I elaborate? Maybe a little. When you have someone ask "How do I open this Word document?" then you really have to wonder. OK, so maybe the person may be a bit burnt out at the time, but still...
In other news...
I have seriously been thinking of looking for a position elsewhere. I won't be leaving the company as such. I'll essentially be looking for a job at another office. Maybe somewhere halfway around the world. It would be an adventure. And I do hope to learn more and be able to contribute as well. I've already taken the first step of sending out my CV. We'll see where that leads.
Summer is almost over. :-p The weather has not been the warmest this past week, although it has warmed up nicely yesterday and today. It might start to get rainy again by Sunday and Monday. Nevertheless, I shall continue to bike to work when I can! :-) I've actually done quite well this season.

Work and the Future
It's been a while since I last wrote something. It may be a combination of laziness and a lack of anything inspring to write about.
Recently, we've decided to start planning our next vacation. One of the first ideas was a trip to Japan, Korea and China. But after some discussion and stuff we decided that it might be too much to try in a short time (approx. 4 weeks). We didn't want to plan a trip where we would feel a bit too hurried or did not spend enough time at.
We finally decided to narrow it down to just China. It's a large enough country that we can probably cover enough of the key sites and cities within 3-4 weeks. So we started to sift through the guide books and web sites. We found that there are some tour outfits that offer private customized tours. Looking into the pricing, it seems like the way to go.
In other things, after talking with some people at work, it might be worthwhile to take a shot at getting a position in Japan. So tonight I've sort of brushed up on CV for review by a colleague. We'll see if I have what it takes. :-)
