Being with Teammates

Talking is Important

Today was a bid day for my division.
We had a big change for our projects.
It seems sad for everybody to change their position or what they are doing.
Actually it was not the first time to change their positions.
But this time, I was the one who made the decision mostly, and I think I came up the best decision.
I was really careful how to tell them this time.
I took some of my colleagues to lunch and talked individual before tell big change in a group.
And tried to encourage them to think this change optimistically.
And they followed me.
And this is a bee I found on a ground on the way back to work from lunch.

I went to dinner with colleagues to talk more after the group talk.
Everybody gets afraid of changes.
They have so many questions to me.
I tried to answer everything.
I felt, I wish I had somebody who can answer all my questions too.
I am afraid of changes too, personally.
So much pressure and I even want to vomit.
I answered all their questions, but who knows if I am right.
I even don’t know…
But I can tell that thinking, talking and discussing is very important.
It is sometimes tiring, but I don’t want to give up.

I feel very comfortable being with my teammates lately.
They are becoming good partners.
Sadly, I can’t trust them 100%, but still I feel comfortable being with them, and it is very important for me to feel this way now.
Because this is very important time for me in my life.

Ah, I had nice dinner.
Ate too much a bit, though…

MAHALO!

Good Bye Hawaii

I woke up 7 in this morning, and had breakfast buffet.
We left hotel at 10AM and left to the airport.
We did last shopping, and posted some picture cards.
I really had a good time in Hawaii.
I feel myself so lucky that I could travel with all my colleagues.

We took North West again, and it was horrible like the way to go to Hawaii.
This time my seat was next to my roommate.
We chat a lot and had a good time.
Taking picture on the airplane is the last thing I do.
It is such a tourist thing.
I travel a lot, so now I feel embarrassed to take picture in the airplane.
But we did.
And It is kinda nice picture.
Being normal tourist is not that bad.
It just annoyed a lot of local people.

Anyway, I feel sad that I have to say good bye to Hawaii.
I always love Hawaii.
I will be back to Hawaii soon, I hope!

Too Much Italian in Hawaii

Shopping and Eating

My roommate woke up at 6 and left to diving lesson.
I woke up at 8:30 and had breakfast buffet at the hotel.
I went to Alamoana Shopping Center and did lots of shopping.
I bought such a cute dress at DKNY, and also I bought other stuff too.
I saw a DKNY dress on Vogue and I was dreaming to get it.
I tried it on, but it looked like I am pregnant, so I bought a different one which is even cuter.
I had Jamba juice which I missed a lot.
Banana Berry!! It tasted good as usual!
I wonder why they don’t sell it in Japan!
I forced lots of my colleagues to have one.

After shopping, I went to Italian restaurant with my bosses and their wives.
We had Italian, and I was in charge of ordering.
I talked with my dad about the menu beforehand, so I ordered well, but they were too much.
And also I got pretty drunk after I said goodbye to them.
Probably, I was a little nervous in front of my bosses.
I checked my e-mails and I saw some boys from our company.
They saw my shopping bag and asked me where the store is located, so I took them to the store.

Lots of walking and eating in Hawaii.
So far, I had such a good time in Hawaii, which might be the best time in Hawaii ever.
We are going to “The Original Pancake House” tomorrow morning and will go to beach.
I bought bikinis last night, so I can’t wait to wear them!

My Work Place

My Destiny

I have schedules every single day till the end of this month.
I supposed to teach at my apt today, but he canceled today’s lesson because he is behind of his work for his examination at school.
I remember that I had a hard time before examination.
I miss those days.
But do I wanna go back to school?
I do, but I would hate exams for sure.

Anyway, because of his absence, I did not anything to do tonight.
So I was going to go home early, but my boss, who is a head of a department I will move next month told me to go out to eat.
So I went to eat with him by ourselves to talk about plans from next month.
After we talked about them, he asked me lots of questions.
“What are you going to do in the future?”
“Are you going to take over the business? Or are you going to open a business in the US? Or are you going to get married??”
I am sick of those questions.
I would say, “Why you care???”
He said, “Oh, by the way, I heard you broke up with your boyfriend.”
I was like, “Wha???”
Geeeee, people, you guys, will you please leave me alone?
I have learned that I can’t trust anybody at this place about secrets for this 2 and a half year.
When I started working here, I was really open-minded and told them many things about me.
However, recently, I have not told about my private life to my colleagues or bosses whom I like a lot.
It is sad, but maybe it is natural.
Everyone at this company is interested in m private life.
This does not mean that I am popular, but only because I am a daughter of the owner.
This is my destiny, I guess.

This is a picture we took for an album.
I am making an album for a girl who will leave this company next month.
I took 2 persons in a picture put in an album with a message card.
I was a pair with a guy who is the same position as mine.
Even he does not know that I am leaving this department.
Ahhh, I will miss this apartment so much…

Co-Workers

Communication by Drinking

I had to finish a design of a brochure of our new products.
A guy from a design company finally finished his work at 8PM.
I was so upset about how slow he was.
I mean I could understnad that it would take a while to get a design done.
I gave him all info, and tell him to every single things, but he had never understood.
So whenever he was excited and told me that he got his work done, most of stuff was totally different from I said.
I was scold by my boss, and I had to keep talking to him.
I just can't understand why he tells a lie.
Like he said he was working on it, but he wasn't, he said he understood, but he didn't, he said he would come to our office at 6, but he didn't.
We rushed the design company, so I could not tell him strictly, but I totally lost my trust to that company, unfortunately.

However, the good thing is that since I was at office till late, my female co-worker aske me to go out to drink.
She has worked at our company for a long time, and she is really funny girl.
We could not have much chance to drink together so it was a good opportunity.
I was going to go home early and eat at my apt tonight.
However, I decided to go.
My boss, who was listening to our conversation, wanted to join us, so we invited him and our other colleague.
When four of us were drinking, my other boss and two other colleagues from sales department called us to ask us if they can join.
We felt like drinking since only one more day left to have our winter vacation.
After we went to one restaurant, some of us except our bosses stayed and went to a bar.
Four of us were going to have just one drink, but we ended up to drink till 2 in the morning.
Again today was not the last day, but one more day left.
Dang! I am not sure if I can get up tomorrow.
Well, but it was fun night with my colleagues!
