Training completed, finally up and running

Starting Monday, we will go to each branch office, not the main government office, and deal with the counter for the first time. It is almost impossible to learn job contents and procedures only in 9 days while it takes the staff more than…

Doing exercises

We were doing exercises for the upcoming work starting next month. I'm a bit anxious that we will have to do our work without the manual. So, I'll do my best to review what I've learned so far.

Role play

We have been in training for the new job since last week. Yesterday we had a quiz. Today we role-played as a customer and an employee, just like in a real job.

Morning activities

My major is English, but I felt recently that my English skills had critically been down. Then I decided to take the TOEIC in December for the first time in several years. Therefore, I woke up early every morning and started studying Engli…

Celtic music

www.youtube.com I found this YouTube today. I love this kind of music. Celtic music can be fun music that makes you want to dance, but it is also very exotic and fantastical.^^

My WiFi

When I posted on Instagram from my PC yesterday, it seemed to reflect on my PC but not on my phone. Something seemed wrong with my WiFi. Hours later, I couldn't see my friend's new post on my phone, even though the icon showed "1". Restart…

Busy

The training for the new job will last until the end of September, so there is a lot to learn. ^^; Then again, I still want to work using English, so I have decided on a routine of things to do and am re-studying English intensively on my …

Cool temperature

After the typhoon is gone, the temperature must have been almost 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. I came to work wearing a cardigan for the first time. I dither over what to wear this time of year.

Lunch box

Since January, my lunch box has always been a sandwich, but today was the first time I brought an onigiri (rice ball). An onigiri and a banana were my lunch today. From now on, I will switch between onigiri and sandwiches daily.

Queen's Funeral

Today I watched the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on YouTube Live. Various TV stations were broadcasting it live, but I watched it on BBC with automatic subtitles in English. Because I am not good at listening to British accents.^^;

Bad weather

It's still been hot these days, but fall has come. The Kyushu area seems to have hazardous weather just as a typhoon is approaching. My friend, a pastor in Miyazaki, temporarily closed his church because life is more important than coming …

Day one

I forgot to post yesterday's diary.^^; 9/16/2022 The first half of last month I was home sick with corona, worked 3 weeks and was paid until the end of the month. Today I started a new job. 9/17/2022 I thought I would be tired at work beca…

I am good

I am always good in the morning, but this morning I felt somewhat out of sorts. I was a bit worried, so I took my temperature just to be sure, and it was normal. Reorganizing the kitchen drawers for a change, I started to feel better and b…

My English diary

I'll try to write at least 3 lines in my daily English diary starting today. I had my new glasses made for the first time in decades. It is a pair of reading glasses. Recently I've found it a bit difficult to read books for long hours beca…
