Bad Presentiment and Sentimentalism

To summarize today’s day, I feel that there was an event that gave me an unpleasant premonition and felt the future.

Moreover, I got two bad feelings, and when I talked from the first one, it happened at Fab Lab, where I went to work part-time from noon. However, this was not a big deal after all, so I will write it briefly. Today I was supposed to engrave a cork coaster with a laser cutter, but since there are 100, I first made a mold that can arrange the coasters and fix the position so that I can process multiple coasters at once. After that, I put the engraving data into the same data as the mold, adjusted the data so that only engraving was done this time, and just waited for the rest, which was a simple task. I made 9 pieces at a time and it worked normally the first time, so I put a coaster to process next in the same way. At that time, I felt that the platform had moved a little, and that was an unpleasant feeling. However, even if I fix it now, it will shift the processing position, so I started as it is for the time being. Then, as expected, the position of the sculpture was slightly off. When I paused and touched the table, it moved a little again and clicked to be fixed. In other words, the table was not properly fixed in place at the time of making the mold, and when the coaster was replaced, the table moved together. So it was good to remake the mold and start engraving again.

There were some extra coasters, so there was no problem for the time being, but after all I felt like I had to check the condition of the laser cutter first, so I was back to the beginning. Tomorrow we will continue to make the other half of the coasters.

Another unpleasant feeling is that I received a prayer email from the company that interviewed me this Monday. I wrote in the post on Monday that I was a little unsure, so when I looked at the email, it felt like “I think.” It was, but after all it is dented. And a little angry. Of course I’m angry at being dropped, but more than that, I’m angry at the prayer email itself. I always think, but I really want you to tell me why it didn’t work. If you don’t, you won’t be able to use it next time. When it comes to recruiting large companies, you’ll see the resumes of hundreds or thousands of people, so it’s easy to see that you can’t afford to comment on each one. Besides, in that case, since it is for new graduates, I’m sure there are many other applications, and if it’s one of them, I don’t think it’s a problem. However, the number of applicants should not be so large this time, so I wanted them to show that kindness. If you think it’s kindness not to tell you why you fell, it’s definitely not. It’s just that you can’t justify why you don’t do it, or why you drop it. If it’s the latter, it’s because it’s dropped in the atmosphere, and it’s hard to do, but I’d like you to say anything for the time being. Also, this recruitment was not clearly written, but if you are not thinking of applying for a new graduate formally like me who has no working experience, on the premise of mid-career recruitment, send a resume I would like you to say a word to that effect at that point. If you refuse, that’s a good reason, and if you interview me, even a new graduate may be hired, so don’t use experience as a member of society or similar experience as a basis for pass / fail judgment. want. After all, if it can be used as a basis for judgment, it’s better to be in the middle. Probably, in this case, I think that I was going to try just an interview for the time being, but when asked about my sales experience, I thought in my heart, “There is no such thing!” I managed to appeal a close experience. At the time of hearing such a thing, I think that it is a prerequisite for mid-career recruitment, but the feeling that I was not standing on the ground in the first place is amazing. This is why I got angry. However, since I am a favorite company, I had mixed feelings and replied to the prayer email, “I would appreciate if you have another chance.” I think I’ll have another chance.

That’s all for the unpleasant premonition, and another event that feels the future is the story that Mr. T of Fab Lab said. I come twice a week on Thursday and Friday now, but I was asked to change the day and increase it a little because I quit Seven and finished issuing my master’s thesis. However, since there is a deadline for papers to be submitted to the Architectural Institute of Japan in February, it was a little tight to start in March, and from next week to the end of February, it changed to Tuesday and Thursday. The reason is that he seems to be trying to take a day off on Wednesday, and he seems to be busy with requests on both days off. It seems that it works occasionally on Saturdays now, so it seems that only two days off a week will be established, but from now on, it seems that he is trying to change the way of working little by little, and one of them seems to simply reduce the time to work. Mr. T was in his late 30s and had just born a child, so he wanted to make more time for his family, and when he heard that, he felt uncomfortable. If I say something I can’t say, it ends here, so when I try to put this feeling into words, it’s a little sentimental with the feeling that “I must think about my way of working from a long-term perspective.” That it became. I think the need to think about how to work is something that everyone felt more strongly in Corona, but I think it depends on the stage of my life, and I and Mr. T are in different places. There are some similarities in interests and values, but I thought it was too early for me to reduce my working hours. I’m thinking of working at least in my twenties regardless of pretending to be. There are many things that I usually want to buy and want money. Above all, if you don’t gain experience and achievements, you will have a hard time in the middle of your life. When I’m in my thirties, I think I should change my direction by thinking about how I worked and what I want to do after that. As a result, there is a possibility that the pace will slow down like Mr. T, and there may be more things I want to do and I may want to work hard. Either way, I’m greedily absorbing work, information, and personal connections. Even if I wrote so far, I couldn’t express the feelings I felt today, and I felt that the moment when Mr. T said that he would reduce the number of working days, the time passed slowly, and I was there. Was almost washed away. It’s not that it’s dangerous to slow down, but that it’s not so good to think about “work” like Mr. T, who is in a different situation from me now. I decided to go greedy while I was fine. Anyway, when I get old, I can’t work even if I want to work.

I processed it with a laser cutter, and while I was waiting for it to finish, I searched online for tumblr and found an article.

What is Automattic, the operator of “WordPress.com” for remote work for all employees? We talked to Naoko Takano, the only staff member living in Japan.

Both tumblr and wordpress seem to be made by a company called automattic, and I was surprised at the interview article about the working style of the only Japanese woman who works at that company. This article is from 2015, and the theme of working style is remote work. And in 2017, it seems that the head office was dismantled and it became a complete remote work. The event three years before 2020, when remote work was touted in Corona. Of course, I think there are companies that introduced remote work earlier or started remote work at the same time. I think the reason why I was surprised was that there was something in common with the story of how to work in the future that I heard from Mr. T. Mr. T is a manager, and as long as he is involved in manufacturing, it is almost impossible to be completely remote. Mr. Takano lives in Japan, but her employment contract is signed with wordpress in California, and although he is a salaryman, he is a complete remote who can decide the time and place to work by himself. She says it’s a free way of working, but freedom is completely different depending on the person, industry, and occupation. I thought, “Well, what should I do?” I’ve already written a lot today, so I’ll continue this story somewhere.

Now, after going home, taking a bath and eating, she writes this sentence while watching an Instagram on the theme of “gender and climate change.” She heard a live broadcast of “3.5% that moves society” a few days ago, and I thought I’d watch a movie because it was the theme I was really interested in, but I put it off. Lilian Ono, a climate justice activist, and Shiori Clark, an illustrator and writer, are talking about it, but I think I made a mistake because I couldn’t get the details into my head while writing this sentence. Can you think while writing and thinking while watching live? If it became possible, it would make a lot of progress, but I feel that tremendous training is required.

That’s why I think Instagram will probably have an archive, so I’m going to watch a movie today. I want to see the recently released movie “Yakuza and Family” in the first of the “Outrage” trilogy that I borrowed on my way home from my part-time job, so before that, I thought I’d watch a preparatory movie. I borrowed it. I saw the outrage a long time ago and only the second one, so I want to see it again.

Well, I’m tired of watching a movie, so today is around here. good night.
