Amusing work request
They were doing a photo shoot for a new brochure for work, and requested a shot of “a foreign researcher talking with a female Japanese researcher”. The myriad foreign and female Japanese workers that there are, they picked me (the only foreigner in my lab) and a girl (the only one). We had to pose in front of an enormous TV screen which, rather amusingly, was showing lots of tanned babes in bikinis. Life size. And then we had to pretend to be “researching”. If only that’s what research was.
Gotta love political correctness.
