休暇？

もう７月も残り１週間。
３６協定特別条項の適用もあと１週間。
１週間のうちに１日休みが多かった先週は，やっぱり違うなぁと感じる。毎週１日は年休とりたいくらいだ。
そして，夏休みを取るようにいわれているけど，まだ何の予定も立ってない。
９月の連休だって，海外旅行へ行きたかったけど，格安航空券も空席なし。

IT会社にSEとして勤める高校の友人は，今の仕事を確実に辞めると言っている。
曰く，能力的問題だと。
自分もあと１年経つと，そういう感覚になるのだろうか。

今週は平穏な日々でありますように。

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
(Robert Frost, 1916)

I think one shouldn't envy people who are richer and happier than him because he decided his future and should take full responsibility for himself. But I know...it's kind of difficult. Sometimes I feel "why am I doing such work..."

About the poem, I wonder whether he succeeded because he stepped on the road which has never been walked on by people.

For me, I think I will follow the road many people have stepped.
