Work has begun or has it?

I've been in Japan for about a month now. I am enjoying the culture, but not so much the weather. It is a little too hot and humid for me. Anyway, I have been going to work for about three weeks now. Unfortunately, I have received little training and still know little about what sort of jobs I will be working on in the future. I spent some time this week setting up a server to run my company's software and got the idea to automate some of the steps with a script. I started working on that today and it is taking me much longer than anticipated. However, as I have nothing else to work on, except reading software manuals in Japanese, it is a nice change of pace.

Hopefully, my trainer will have some free time or I will be given some assignments I am currently capable of handling soon. I think I will enjoy working for Daifuku and learning about the industry. I just have a lot to learn and it is a little bit tougher in a different language.
