Friday, keep working working, and working from 9 to 11 before midnight. Such a working day. I feel no shame about being Japanese, worked as it used to be. I worked so long but relatively my concentration and energy lasted long until the end actually. In the end, we have aligned all the models on top of the table looking at them with m, t, and a. We were all satisfied and finally relieved. Before midnight, my boss came to collect the models to the office. He looked really satisfied and said " fantastic, thank you, really good job". He always say this and even i get extremely exhausted, my mind feels satisfied and I can think that I can do even more better and want to do more next time for him. This is absolutely because of his character. The character of entertaining his staff. His ability to motivate staff is amazing, and this is the thing i need to learn rather than learning how to design or think astutely and keenly. That's what i was thinking eating noodle and tomato at my flat. His way of saying things is also sort of charming and admirable. i want to imitate that actually. Anyway, my chocolate which contains 60 % of cocoa isn't as good as I expected to be. Need bit of sweetness: sugar regrettably.
金曜日働き詰める。朝９時から夜２３時まで。今日はさすがに働いた。日本人の名に恥じない程に働き詰めたといえるだろう。
長時間働いたけれども、比較的集中力が持続し、仕事もはかどり続けた。結果としてテーブルにずらりと並んだ模型をmとt、aと眺めしばし沈黙。結構頑張ったじゃないかと、達成感にしばし浸り、張っていた気が徐々に緩まる。２３時社長が模型、プレゼン図面等を回収しに事務所へやってきた。満足そうにして帰っていった。すばらしい、ありがとう、よくがんばってくれたと気遣ってくれるからいつも疲れても、社長のためなら頑張れるなと４人とも思ってしまうのである。ひとえに、社長の人柄だ。デザインの能力に長けるとか、頭がきれるというよりも（勿論そうなのだが）、人の上に立つ人間は人を無意識的に魅了する人柄が大事なんだなあーとつくづく思いながら、家でラーメンをすすり、トマトをかじる。社長のこの人柄は真似したい。言葉や言い回しも実は社長の口癖がもう自分自身の口癖にもなってしまっている。６０％ココアのエスプレッソチョコレートを買ってみたが、思っていた以上に濃く苦い。甘みがいる今は。
全く関係ないが、カンタベリー大聖堂の回廊。最近のアルバムの中から一枚。
