my dad is so fob

my father is so fobtastic (fresh off the boat). today i thought it was father's day so i sent him an email. this is his reply:
(*side note- he frequently does business trips to japan...i love seeing how his command of english gets progressively worse as he spends more time in the motherland)

Hey Tasia,
Father's day is 20th. Next sunday....But arigato!!

We had dinner with your taiko people twice last week, 10th and yesterday. Papa and mama are very nice and other members are also good people.

When we met with them, they said I look just like you...uggg....

When daddy goes to Fukuoka or Kokura, I want to see them, again. And Brissa got the stuff from Kazumi san.

Hey, she is very funny lady. And Taka is also a nice person.

Love you,
Daddy (yes, I still call my father 'daddy'. And what?)


On another note, a couple of weeks ago my dad decided that he wanted to apply for a new job and asked me to help him with his resume/cover letter (at 2pm Japan time). When did he want to turn it in? The freaking next morning. Result: a very stressed-out Tasia.

So I'm editing his resume/cover letter and asking questions to clarify previous work experience, etc. My dad is technologically un-inclined so my sister had to be the liaison-- excerpts from our gchat exchange:

"too many questions! tell tasia, just create...whatever the fantastic will be!"

"no fun, your sister no fun. why she not coming with taiko people. your sister no fun. come homeeee!"

brissa: "he says NO NEED NO NEED NO NEED be vague NO NEED. this is what he is shouting now" (apparently because I was asking too many questions)

"if you don't understand (anything on the resume) just delete"

bahahahha. i heart my daddy!
