It's a bit darker than Dexter (which is a bit of a comedy), right?<br /><br />Aimless - Well, my stance is that I'm already outnumbered and outgunned so adding one more to the enemy won't really make any difference... But seven girls, wow! That's a lot of talk about periods around the dinner table!<br /><br />Anon - There you go!

If you do more than pour tea at a corp, you're a Salarywoman and not an OL. Happy new year to you as well and hope to see you around!<br /><br />GaijinW - Thank you and happy new year to you as well! Compared to 2011, 2012 can't really be worse, can it? I shudder to think what that would be like, earthquakes, meltdowns and all... This year wasn't that much Japanese style (thankfully?) but soon it's back to work...<br /><br />Octopus - Haha, I knew you were around somewhere. I really wonder if that Octopus with the coconut shell is "super smart" or just a regular mentally ill octopus? I can't really see the benefit of rolling up inside a coconut? To be honest, I actually wrote the post a few hours before midnight, but put a timer on it to post at 23:59, fancy, huh?<br /><br />F. - Hmmm... I can't even figure out how to say Gott Nytt Ar in Norwegian... But Gott Nytt Ar to you all the same! I see you have shed some skin but that writing is recognizable ;)<br /><br />Chris - Indeed, you can easily say that 2011 wasn't the most sexed up year ever for Mr. and Mrs. Salaryman, a small baby kinda does that to you (especially one who refuses to nap regularly...)... And yeah, Corinne thinks she's too good for us now even though that WE built her up to what she is now. No shame in her that woman. <br /><br />Aimless - Indeed, it is a gamble, but the odds should be almost 50-50 and I really don't have much to lose as I'm already outnumbered and outgunned, I'll cross my fingers!<br /><br />Therese - Thank you very much and hope to see you around here in 2012 as well then :)Mr. Salarymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874380653396343115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-51292035802839523032012-01-03T20:04:30.298+09:002012-01-03T20:04:30.298+09:00I'm a foreign woman married to a Japanese man ...I'm a foreign woman married to a Japanese man and was just thinking about how few blogs I like.
