On the left, my faithful metal companion for 18 months "Chairry". On the right, "New Chairry". Sadly neither Chairries can talk like Pee-Wee's Chairy, but I'm pretty psyched about getting a comfy modern new chair since I spend about 95% of the day in one. I wonder what suddenly inspired my school to ditch the soviet style ones that are fixtures in almost all Japanese govermental office places. Maybe they finally found a use for all the ALT support money the federal goverment gives the school as long as I'm around. What ever the reason, I'm happy 'cause I got a new chair!
