Running Errands

Tagged:

This morning I have errands to run. It’s fucking ridiculous but ever since I moved out and started living on my own and being all independent, I have to “run errands”. It’s not even a euphemism for masturbation or something, I literally have to go out and do things like banking, exchanging purchases, and other mundane things that I would rather do online but can only be done in person.

Hrm.

Rewind to the part where I said “independent”… Holy shit, I really am independent. I have a job, an apartment and none of my parent’s money (not that they have much, the universities have all their money now).

So things left to do before I fly:

  • exchange this power adapter that Radioshack sold me for one that I actually want
  • convert some dollars into yen (and pay $50 for the privilege)
  • pick up Japan Rail passes for Fay, Studds, and Marlene
  • do a load of laundry so I can finish packing
  • print off travel documents
  • finishing very urgent thing at work

Here’s a tip: don’t ever promise your boss you’ll get something done before a vacation.

So, if ‘running an errand’ isn’t euphemism for masturbation, what is?

It turns out the power adapter was unnecessary! Japan uses the same plugs as America! YAY FOR FREEDOMTOWN.

Geraldine, you may not look crazy but you are crazy. I just saved those people some time in sizing you up.

Japan doesn’t have the earth plug, I think, so watch out.

Also, Japan is crazy town – half of it uses 125V/50Hz, the other half uses 110V/60Hz. Most things should run fine still, though.

Or rather, as Wikipedia says.
