休暇？

2009-07-26T21:16:00.000+09:00

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

2009-07-20T21:10:00.002+09:00

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.

２０代の働き方が，３０歳以降の働き方を決めるということを，ある本で読んだ。
というと，ガムシャラに働くべきなのかも？
週末が終わるのは本当に早い。
土曜夜に大学の友人と飲んだが，
平日の５日間は「一日は長いんだけど，一週間は短い」という。大いに納得。
休日には，仕事のことは一切忘れるという。
そうだよな。
今週も無事過ごせますように。

芭蕉一句

2009-06-21T21:14:00.000+09:00

美濃の長良川にてあまたの鵜を使ふを見にゆき侍りて
おもしろうてやがて悲しき鵜舟哉

(1688年)

The Cormorant fishing-boat----
How exciting! But after a time
I felt saddened.

この「鵜舟」の部分は何に替えても句になる。
旅行とか。
何か目的をもって，楽しみをもっていないと，仕事なんて，やる気にならない。
北京旅行から３週間。
早くも９月の連休のことを考えているこのごろ。
一句。

京成を　見るたび思ふ　空港へ　明日も仕事と　家路をたどる

Beijing 2009

2009-06-12T23:26:00.000+09:00

So I uploaded my travel journal!
I went to Beijing from 27th May to 1st June.
(It was indeed a bit difficult to get holidays but I did!)
I really enjoyed the travel and I feel my English ability is surely declined.
I have to study English more....yea I have to use leisure time to learn...but...Anyways!
Chinese, too
If you are interested in my travel:

(English for three days and Japanese for 3 days.)

ヘマか

2009-05-08T23:42:00.000+09:00

なんだか大きなヘマをした感じである。
予算処置の項目を間違えたんだって。１１日は他部署に説明に行って、お詫びして、訂正の文書を作って。。嗚呼。
22:10。帰り道。
こんな晩くに、駅の前でチラシを配っている男性。
なんか、働くこと。楽じゃないよ。そりゃお金もらってるんだから。

There's no discrimination between private or business?
Haha, it's...well i think it's hard though some books insist that opinion.

How about reading news about my company on weekend?

To work is too hard. But I feel I kid myself.I have to cope with my work..

Today is Friday and there'll be two days off. I feel depressed.
Anyways, I hope everything will go well!

雑感

2009-05-07T23:03:00.000+09:00

ゴールデンウィークは終わったけれど、結局仕事のための勉強（民訴法）は大してしなかった。
７，８日といけば、また２日間休みだ。
同僚は３０，１日か７，８日を休暇に充てているけど、別にうらやましいとか思わない。
なんでこんな一番混んで高いときに出かけるのか！（とあまりに高すぎた海外航空券を買わなかったことを正当化）
実際、友達と上野に行ったけど、スタバとか会話をする場所はどこここも混雑していてどこもは入れなかった。ウロウロしてるんだったら、最初の店で待ってたほうが座れたんだろうなーと思いつつ。
とにかく、海外には行きたい！早めに休暇をとりたいものです。
ただ、自分の仕事の状況によるのかな。。

黄金週間？

2009-04-29T19:19:00.003+09:00

Golden Week is coming.
But, I don't have any plan to go, so I will read some books related to my work maybe! hahaha.....-_-
I couldn't take any air-tickets to Beijing (Actually there ARE air-tickets, but extremely expensive because most people will have holidays during such a long term).
Many of my colleagues go back to their home town where their parents live.

Anyway, I will STAY at home this vacation! (and study!!!)
maybe...
Instead of this, I will take holidays next month or several months later.

Holiday

2008-07-26T20:46:00.006+09:00

Anyways, it's too hot and humid.
There are 15 extremely hot days with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees in a row.
I guess that I don't want to do anything on weekend but I want to do something.
Just going to the library and borrow some book I reserved and until several months ago, I was satisfied with that. I mean I didn't read all books I borrowed.
Now, it has changed. I read most of them and returned them to the library.
Recent interest:
Chinese language, Travel to China or Taiwan, Investment, Asset management, English language,
History.

first Post

2008-07-21T22:08:00.009+09:00

So I started to post an entry each day or week in order to practice my English writing, keep a journal, and show entries about Japanese life (work style) and my ideas to people in the world.
Ah, I don't think most people don't read my journals because of my poor writing and contents are not interesting for people. But, well, it's OK.
The important thing is that I have to keep a journal! I will not give up easily!

At least one entry per week!
