School, work, school, and trians

Accounting and International Marketing like usual and then study for the Finance test. Headed to work and after work headed back to school and studied for the Finance test till 11 and headed home. Finance is no good.

JR, Japan Rail is a Train company that is broken up by region but runs lines all over Japan. They have great ads trying to promote good manners on the train. There are a couple rules that everyone knows like no talking on the phone in the train and turn your phone off completely when near the priority seat. The Priority seat is mainly for old people, pregnant girls, and people with broken bones or something like that. Regular people can sit there if people in the group above aren't in need of the seat. You are supposed to turn your phone off when near these seats because apparently the signals from the phone can interfere with a persons pace maker. In an attempt to provide higher levels of customer service in the stations and trains they have signs with new recommended rules which I find mildly entertaining.
