展示の準備をしつつ、なんか会社員の私って、、、、と沈んでいた一週間でした。
Mon.8 JUL 2024
I finished the illustration work about baseball players and sent it. The sales employee asked me if these were free materials. She said that these illustrations lacked drawing power and were not powerful. I was so shocked. I replied that there were my original illustrations and that I was so sorry for my lack of drawing power. I am certainly not experienced in drawing with a cartoon touch. But it was hard for me to be told that I didn’t have drawing skills.

I am not used to the company’s working methods yet because I am still a newbie, and it takes some time for me to adjust to the new system. Around two weeks ago, I used to work with another colleague, but now I work on my own and have to make all the decisions by myself from the beginning all the way through the end of the project In between office work, I got a lecture on using a certain design system. That sounds like a good part-time job. There seems to be a test to get that job, and I would like to pass the test.Wed.10 JUL 2024
A few days ago, I was assigned a job about the future of the drainage system in the newspaper. We mark the drainage system day each September 10th. Today was the first meeting with the colleague employee in charge of sales. He was very well motivated. I didn’t know him before, because I am a newcomer to this office. I was reminded once again that there were all kinds of people in this workplace. I would like to have. establish good relationships with them over timeThu.11 JUL 2024
I went to the shoot as staff for my colleague who is a cameraman. I supported her. It was the first time for me to participate in a shoot, it was interesting. I didn’t know the interviewee who is a collage artist. His studio was fine. On the way to our office, I heard about another project that my colleague was assigned to. I wanted to join the project. I felt nervous.Fri.12 JUL 2024
I have felt nervous since yesterday. I wondered if I should quit my job. My boss didn’t give me a good task. All things I did were chore work. Since I was so withdrawn, my family was worried about me. Fortunately, today was a day off. I didn’t think about office work and I did my freelance job.Sat.13 JUL 2024
It’s Saturday. I thought I wanted to quit my job and researched the aftermath of quitting. Life, money, pension, etc. My husband didn’t stop me. My will was strong at that time. On the other hand, I realized it would be so tough if I quit my job now. So I couldn’t make a decision at the time.Sun.14 JUL 2024
It’s Sunday. I usually exercise with my friend using video chat every Sunday morning. Through my secret social media account, she knew that I wanted to quit my job. She didn’t stop me since she thought my will was strong. But I was changing my mind. In the end, I decided to quit my job at 50. It will be OK about life, money, and pension.AKIKO MAEGAWA NOTE
