<br />
Long time no see...<br />
For a variety of reasons, I have a hard time. <br />
<br />
As the new year starts, I hope to improve the skill of the project (team) management, and I think to improve profit ratio of work as keeping quality of contents made by us.<br />
<br />
This is difficult problem. but I decided to tackle the problem. <br />
(I'm afraid there will be hell to pay...)<br />
<br />
In my personal life, I hope that my family is in good health, and I hope to build garden shed and the fence this year.<br />
<br />
Then, I continue studying English bit by bit...<br />

When these lesson is completed, my English language skill should be improved. To that end, I should find many time for this lesson. This challenge is unconstrained. I am going to continue to study bit by bit.<br />

So, I don't give a damn about his personal life. I had an experience with career change. In my younger days, I had been part-time jobber.<br />
But I have thought what the fruitful work for my career is , and I got a job. Now, I am thinking not only my career but also what the better selection is for my family.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I heard that my colleague was quitting the company. He cannot so good job. I wished that his skills grew, and I had given some advice about work to him. It's only regrettable that he is leaving the company. <br />
<br />
I don't know he think to what extent. I think everyone have work-induced stress more or less, but I feel like he escape from reality.<br />
In the result, he may be a pushover...<br />
<br />
Oops, I didn't realize I wrote long sentence because I had jangled nerves...<br />
Is this also one of good way to learn English? :-P<br />

I make inroads on making the garden and fence, but I am still a long way from being there.<br />

Today, I knead mortar for joint brick with feeling muscle pain. and then I repeat laying a brick. This is tiring plenty.<br />
