Can't knock the hustle

Payday. \5000 was deducted from my paycheck for 宴会 (party) expenses. Apparently that amount is deducted and collected for the entire school, regardless of whether or not you show up to any of the social events. Hell, if I had known this I would have shown up at the enkai after the softball game and drunk my runny nose and sore throat silly, instead of eating that almost average pizza with Simona and playing in a lukewarm, civilized, and uncompetitive card game with 3 girls. Can you tell that I'm bitter right now?

I also had to pay \3000 for my parking spot. I guess that's not so bad compared to the parking fee paid by one of those 3 girls. But still, you mean I have to pay for parking, when there's enough nothing all around me to have a 40-minute commute everyday? Ever heard of urban planning?

\5800 for a month worth of school lunches isn't so bad though. That's 18 lunches for an average of \322 each. And our lunches are so fucking good, our principle is being flied to Tokyo on Nov 9th to receive a national recognition for it. That's how fucking good our school lunch is. Booyah...uh, I mean Bonzai!

\28500 for rent is okay, I guess.

But back to the bitching and moaning. What the fuck is this \42,288 worth of social insurance premiums: \2447 of hiring insurance (no idea what or why), \25,081 of Pension insurance (to be refunded after completion of contract, I heard), and \14,760 of health insurance (how often do I have to be hospitalized in order to get my money's worth?).
