I was told I need a 1095-A for my tax return. I was insured with Covered California, but since the other day I have not been able to sign in to the Covered California site and have not been able to get the 1095-A … Is there any other way to get it besides getting Covered California ？ on my tax return? Please let me know if anyone has used a 1095-A ！ ！

If you go there with the documents you have on hand now. If you can prepare this and that, bring them. You will be told.

Accounting firms are in season now and can't spend time with clients who don't have their paperwork in order.

When I submitted a Formal Complaint for harassment at work, the treatment got worse.
They made a PIP^(Performance Improvement Plan ） and they listed all kinds of unreasonable things.
One of them is that I used to wait at work for an hour or two after work until the traffic calmed down before leaving, but now I'm being told to leave as soon as I finish work. I'm not applying for overtime pay, and if I have any work left to do, I just do it while I'm waiting. I understand that HR is the enemy.
What is the best place to get help with retaliation at work ？?

Not good. Showa-era Ototto lamented that everyone was not making enough effort to understand his opinions. I am really sorry. It seems that the only way to eliminate misunderstandings is to directly ask Ototsan himself. The fairest way is to give Ototsan himself a chance to explain himself.

Is the correct place to wait, the pause line before turning left

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but
whether it's a T-junction or a cross street, if you want to turn left and a pedestrian is about to cross the crosswalk, it's not normal to wait and not start turning left ？
even if you're turning right, if there is a pedestrian, you don't turn and wait.

One block west on the street in front of the house is a T-junction

It is west of the street in front of the house, not one block east.
One block west leads north-south
Turn right or left, but drive one or two blocks to connect to the busy main street.

The T-junction is downhill toward the south, so it would be dangerous without a
stop sign when entering north-south.
Drive safely.

Question. Working mothers ・ What do fathers do when their children are absent from school due to illness ？

Do you have a sitter or other service ？ For example, if you suddenly find out your child is sick on the morning of school and need a sitter immediately, can you request a sitter on that day? ？

Also, what do you do when your child has a long break from school, such as spring break ・ summer break ・ Thanksgiving break ・ winter break ？ Do you leave your child at a day care or summer camp? ？

I would like to work while my child is in school, but I am worried because I have no family or relatives to turn to when my child is sick.

Working mothers ・ I would appreciate any advice from fathers. Please do.

I don't work, so I don't have to worry if my child suddenly gets sick, but I think it is really hard for working families when a child is sick. Thanks to Corona, some people have been able to choose to work remotely, but I think it's tough to work while watching a sick child.

My friend said that she just needed to finish her work, so she would spend time with her child during the day and check on her health, and then work alone at night. He also said that his body was not up to the task. He said that he could take paid holidays, but that would mean less time off when he goes to Japan, so he prefers not to use it as much as possible.

Another friend said she can't take her work home with her, so she takes her vacation with pay. My family has no one to rely on and my work doesn't bring in that much income, so I am a full-time housewife. My friend has a solid career and said that staying at home is not an option. I kind of admire that. I think it's cool.

Renewing a Japanese passport after obtaining a U.S. passport

I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.
