        And now they are actually willing to commit time and resources to the project I'm sick of it and just want to leave.

              And since the rate is easonable and it's only 20 mins from home I'll probably end up taking it, unless somthing special comes up in the meantime.

                      Now add the fact that no-one here actually speaks Japanese, and none of the head office honco's speak very good English and it takes them a week just to work out whats being said, let alone get a decision made.
