…especially in budget season, I mean when I’m really busy. I’m so ridiculous – I couldn’t even enjoy my whole Sunday off today because of the foredoding feeling of dread with reagards to going to the office tomorrow. I kept telling myself I would not have this feeling again.
It seems it is impossible to have Nenkyuu(payed day) in March. I really wanted to visit Peru to see my friend who is moving there from England soon. I REALLY want to visit there because Peru is filled with a lot of Incan historical sites. When I was a child, I wanted to be an archaeologist. I gave up that long time ago but it is still my dream to visit and see historical things in the world. I have to finish some projects in my company and I have to supervise some people to finish there presentation by the end of March. I think it is unfair that people in other countries can have long holidays though many Japanese can never have such holidays. What do we have to work for actually? I have always thought about the issue for some years. To be honest, I like working. I like to do something which is valuable, contributing to the organization or society. That is the main reason why I’m working so hard. When I was in the UK, I was told this by someone. “Is it really valuable for you to do that? If it is, that is totally ok. But I don’t think it is so important for you to do such things for your company, in other word, to bear such terrible situation.”
I will definitely have holidays. I will visit Peru. I think that is the first thing I should do to get rid of my present terrible circumstances.
