I've been receiving mild DV
Thanks for your courage is sharing this.
Mild DV is like slightly pregnant. It won't improve, only worsen. The physical violence mightn't hurt, but the psychological will. If you do have a child, you'll feel obliged to put up with that violence, and so will your kid.
Cut your losses while you can, buddy.

It's actually a stunning building.
In a crappy location, though. Sure, it's handy for those oh-so-important ministries and Ginza, but Marunouchi would have been far classier, and at a Shinkansen stop.
Prestige companies choose stand-alone trophy buildings but forget employees' last half mile.

Actions speak louder than words:
Jacob Rees-Mogg - moves clients' assets to Dublin
James Dyson - moves HQ and own residence to Singapore
James Ratcliffe - shifts domicile to Monaco; chooses France over UK to build car

Don't be surprised if the government buys it to assist such a strategically important sector.

Brexit: the gift that keeps on giving.
Roger Daltrey, lead singer of The Who and an outspoken Brexiteer who had previously dismissed concerns about tours after Brexit, was also on the list.
We'll see plenty more of this.

Posted in: Dentsu to resume bidding for trade ministry projects See in context
The ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) trade ministry outsourced the $718 million project to a non-profit group co-founded by Dentsu, which in turn used various subcontractors, including Dentsu
But look how selfless we are, using a non-profit middleman to identify ways to provide (ahem) high value-added services for the taxpayer.

No, that's a tour guide service.
