Well, I did find my pills this morning. It looks like I dropped them at home and not in the office, like I thought. It had rolled under the bookcase, and I wouldn't even have found it if it wasn't for my toddler niece. Thank the heavens for child-proof lids.

Is everyone doing alright? It's rather cold outside, isn't it? I think it might snow soon, and the pond is freezing up. I hope they'll salt the walkways quickly, I already slipped today.

...maybe we can go ice skating on it again, hmm?

Oh! While I remember it - the new budget report is out. Please take a look.

It's been far too busy lately. It seems we have a lot of work to do with the new company bought up and all the employees that need to be relocated. I think I'll need to go and talk to Komamura-san later today.

It's very, very cold outside. I almost wish I brought another scarf to work. I'm longing for summer.
It's always nice to be able to work with an open window and the birds singing outside.

...that reminds me. If anyone finds a little note with phone numbers on it, that's mine.
Seems I dropped it while going through my pockets for a coin to use in the vending machine.

I apologize for not coming to work yesterday.

I heard some rather confusing rumors. I do hope everything will turn out okay.
I'm sure the legal department is doing their best.

Shiba-sanKuukaku-san, how nice to see you back at work.

I have to cut down on the work today - doctor's orders.
Kotsubaki-san, I need you to cancel my lunch meeting with the Korean company, as well as the appointment with Vaizard Inc.'s director. I believe her name was Sarugaki Hiyori. I have to concentrate on the board meeting this afternoon.

The launch of the new product seems to go more then well.
I'm proud of the accomplishments of the company.
What would we do without our employees, hmm?

The party really was wonderful, and I hope everyone had a good time?
The decorations were lovely and I was happy that the music was not too loud.

It is rather interesting to see ones colleagues dressed up like that.
Everyone truly looked their best. Unohana... she... the dress...

Today, I will be unavailable for an hour after lunch due do another medical checkup.

I'll be expecting some letters later today.
Please make sure they are delivered to my office at once.

Everyone seems quite excited about this company party on friday, and I hope we'll all have fun. It's been a while since we had a company part here at SSI and it would be great to meet some new faces.

It as quite a terrible storm the night to today. When I stepped outside this morning, the large tree outside my apartment building had lost several branches. I'm glad they didn't hit anyone.

Kotetsu-san, I will leave some papers on your desk. When you are available, please put them in the safe.

Kotsubaki-san, I'm expecting a visitor later. Be so kind to alert me when they arrive; I'll need some time to gather my head files.

If anyone stumbles upon this, please leave it with my secretaries. Seems I've misplaced it.

Saa... I'm so happy he's alright and back in action again. The company really wasn't the same without him, was it?

How is everyone doing on this rainy friday? Terrible weather, isn't it?
I think I got wet all the way into my skin just after stepping out of the taxi, and I was wearing an overcoat! Had to put my socks and suit jacket out to dry when I came into my office.
These are the times long hair is truly a chore - I look like a drowned rat.

Two important meetings today, and a business lunch with the vice-president of that Korean company dear god, Shunsui, tell me you have not slept with his daughter that I just cannot remember the name of. In fact... I cannot even remember his name.
Oh my... that's a problem.

Kotetsu-san, Kotsubaki-san, get me the dossier, please. This is embarrasing.

These first few days back at work has been lovely. It's so nice to see everyone again.
But my, does work build up during vacation time. There's a lot to finish.

I do wish I had something better to look at ouside my window then a parking lot, though.
Did the architect forget the other side of this house? Since the front is so beautiful?

Notes for the day:

08:00 - Meeting
10:00 - Signing reports
11:00 - Meeting
12:00 - Lunch
13:00 - Doctor's appointment (Unohana-san, is there something I should bring?)
15:00 - Archiving old reports from the development sector to Kurotsuchi.

That would be the important things I have to do today.
Then there is all the rest, of course.

Kotetsu-san, would you and Sentarou be so kind to remind me of this?
Also, please hold my calls during the meetings and the appointment.

Hmmm....what to eat for lunch?
