I'm still not working. I'm starting to think about setting up an LLC for a gypsy brewery (this is the common term but apologies if this is offensive and I will edit and do what is necessary if it is, but it's a bit of a distinction. Phantom brewery means that you just hand a recipe or whatever over to a brewery, pay a fee, and they make it without you. A gypsy brewery means the employees of the brewery physically go to the brewery to brew the beer. The most popular example of this type would be Mikkeller.)
I still need to sit down and figure out a business model, etc. Not sure if it's a very good idea yet. Probably not, but I'm going a bit stir crazy, and I have enough connections in the Japanese brewing industry that I could probably find places to do this without much issue.

No worries. Basically I think that the financial risks wouldn't be awful. I need to do more research though. In getting feedback from industry folks. It would also be a side business instead of my main thing. We'll see what happens though

I was talking to a coworker and he mentioned he thought there was a decent chance of my current workplace going under, which freaked me the hell out. It may not be as bad as my co-worker said, he does tend to kind of exaggerate these kinds of things but definitely time to start looking around. I'll probably have to give up on brewing for a while if that ends up happening, but there's going to be a huge shortage of native English teachers this year.

Because, statistically, most come from the US and the UK. Although there's also a fair amount from Canada and Australia, and a few from New Zealand and Ireland, most come from those countries. Due to the Covid pandemic still not being completely under control entrance into Japan is being heavily restricted, couple that with both countries having a very poor response causing the number of cases to explode, the hurdles to people coming from those countries are going to be much larger, and probably longer lasting.
I'm friendly with the guy who is the current English teacher with the JET Program in the village I was at for JET. Participants sign a yearly employment contract if they decide to stay on with a hard cap at 5 years. Every year you decide whether or not you'll re-sign at the end of February. The guy who's there now decided this year would be his last last year. Recently they told him they weren't sure if they'd be able to bring in a new teacher and asked if he'd be willing to sign up for another year, which he took. He also told me that people who were finishing their fifth year in JET were offered the opportunity to sign on for a sixth year.

Oh yeah. Japanese law requires that every class from I believe 5th grade through high school have a certain amount of time with a native English speaker each year.

I have finished all my tasks and now I will sit quietly for the rest of the day with nothing to do.
I suppose I'll do a crossword.
E: okay that wasted 24 minutes. Only 3:15 hours to go.

Apparently my boss is quitting and nobody knows anything about the state of the brewing license. I really don't want to move again but I may not really have a choice. Fuuuuuuuck

I'm such a loving idiot. I should have walked ages ago. Now I'm not even sure if I'll be able to find a motherfucking English teaching position.

My friend offered to marry me to get me permanent residency. Which is sweet of her but definitely a whole other set of bullshit to deal with.

Just reminded of how loving toxic my old office was, now that I'm back working there. gently caress this place. And I'm stuck here until at least next year when other departments start looking at hiring for all the people they lost. Thankful and lucky I still have a job, yes. Happy about the whole situation? Hell no.

My I guess former coworker is taking a job with the brewery I worked for last year who tried to completely gently caress me over. I like the guy but it doesn't feel good.
