First day on the job.

Today I was Japanese. I was treated like a Japanese employee, was spoken to in only Japanese, and even was ordered around by my shogun of a boss. It was one part awesome and one part terrifying. 
Today was my first day as a waitress at the Japanese cafe in the new shopping center by Tennoji station. 

Does anyone remember the show quantum leap? I totally quantum leaped into another persons body. That's what it felt like. Because I have a lot of experience working In restaurants so most of the time I could understand what they wanted me to do even if I didn't understand what they were saying. The more I worked the more words and phrases I could pick up. The most difficult part is keeping them strait. 

I speak to the customer using honorific language and phrases but they answer back however they want. They may use polite language or slang. Understanding is difficult. 

I cleared tables, brought out drinks and food, seated people and stood out front yelling welcome in Japanese and the daily special. Crazy! 

Most of the time I could understand what people were asking but I did not know the correct way to answer. 
I worked for seven hours and I never saw anyone take a break. 
I know that if I keep this job than I will learn Japanese super quickly but time will tell if having this job and my teaching job will be too much.
