I've got that new job lined up from November, which means I've got 10 weeks left in Tokyo. I'm enthusiastic about enjoying as much of Tokyo as possible before I leave back home for Kansai/Osaka/Kyoto. I've been playing RPGs with the local staff, going out for boardgame night with all the new friends I've made, organizing beer crawls with the Dutch contingent here, who are also super friendly. I'm awash in social activities and playing too hard, but my time is limited and I want to make the most of it.
In contrast, I'm finding it difficult to gain momentum on my remaining work. Most of the changes I set out to make, I accomplished fully in my first year.
Part of the problem is 2/3 of the office is on summer break, and a project manager without staff on hand can only make interim progress, or prepare for their return. But I've got other stuff I could work on, like researching how to limit permissions on a piece of software I won't use 10 weeks from now.
