Communication Day

The Team Hiraoka

I feel old…
And it is unfortunate that I look really fat in this picture by the way…
Today I went to drink with some people of Osaka sales department of our company.
Mr. Hiraoka is a boss of this group and he invited me to join his communication dinner.
I have worked with Mr. Hiraoka a coupe times and he always said that he wants to give me an opportunity to talk with his people whom I usually don’t talk.
The reason why he wants me to communicate with them is that two of them will be my assistants when we exhibit our product at convention in February.
They are all young.
Mr. Hiraoka is an old guy who is very strict about common sense.
So I am careful about my manner a lot in front of him.
Therefore, tonight, I watched them how they act in front of their boss kinda strictly.
They should have researched where the restaurant is before they take us, so that we did not have to walk long. ( Mr. Hiraoka has Hernia)
Who had to hang everyone’s coat?
They had to order enough dishes without taking too long time.
Etc, etc, etc.
There are so many manners at a business situation in Japan.
I, myself, don7t know enough, but when I am with young people, I did not say anything, but I judged them.
That made me feel I am old and mean…
Elder Japanese people do the same to me, so I have to be really careful.
Japanese manners are very difficult...
Anyway, besides the mannaer, I had a good time in total.
Always nice to talk with mew people.
Food was all good, maybe I was the only one who eat the most…

It is Friday today, time goes fast…
Drunk, sleepy, and tired.
Japanese salary woman…

Private Lesson

He Is A Good Student

Today was a pretty efficient day for me.
It was hard for me to get up this morning, so I took a cab to work.
I got a lot of paper works done today.
Since I was working on several different paper works, and also e-mailed back to many kinds of people whom I had met lately, so I get confused.
I write wrong e-mail to a wrong person.
It is getting hard for me to keep track of what I have to do.

I had lunch with young girls from work today.
We talked about skin care, and we teach and learn some techniques.
I feel old when I talk with them, but fun.

I finished a lot of paper works, so I left 7 PM from work, pretty early.
That is because I had my student come to my apt.
I have taught him English conversation for one and a half year.
He is 22 years old now, and till his job for the first time in society start, he would come to my apt to learn English.
We will have three lessons left.
We met through Gospel lesson and he started coming to take lessons.
He had one month absent in December, so it had been a while since the last time we had a lesson.
However, he practice really hard, and today the way he reads English was really well.
Very impressed.
I always like people who work really hard in many ways.
I respect people who can be into something and try hard.
I should forget that I have to keep trying hard to get something I want, too.
