最近買い置きも少なく、こんな時、とっても困ります。
普段は朝はパン食ですが、
今朝は冷凍してあったサンマの開きと大根おろし、野菜のお味噌汁で切り抜け、
お弁当はこれまた冷凍してあったひき肉を野菜と一緒にカレー味に炒め、
あとは冷蔵庫をくまなく探し…
今日はその反動で、いつもの何倍ものお買い物をし、自転車でふらつきながら帰宅しました。
今日のねこ弁：
寒天ごはん
ドライカレー（豚挽き肉と豆、きのこ、タマネギ、ピーマン、トマト）
えびハンペン
レンコンのチーズ焼き
When I started working right after graduation from junior college,
I hated to serve tea at the office as a part of my job.
But then, I changed my perspective.
Rather than complaining, I decided to prove myself that I am a capable staff member.
Then, naturally, they would expect me to deal with more important work than serving tea.
I did a good job, obviously.
It was long time ago.
Today, I was making some tea for the guest who was waiting for my boss to arrive.
Then, a lady next door stopped by, and asked me, "Why do you have to do this?"
She's got high educational background, and is not immune to Japanese society.
I said, "This is my policy, that if I can do these trifle works right, then
I can do more important work. It's the way to show my respect to the guests,
and so, I do not care doing this."
Then she said, "I do!"
Maybe I've changed.
I can't leave our guests alone in a room, not attended.
If I served tea, and if they felt being welcomed,
that should have a positive effect on our business that follows.
And I accept it as a part of my job, as an important part of my job.
