The manga whose name is "Koizumi-san is crazy for ramens" have been released in a manga-magazine in December. In this story Koizumi-san goes to the famous ramen shop "TENKA IPPIN".
According to "TENKA IPPNA( that means "peerless")", I often went to the ramen shop again and again in Kyoto during my college period.
I think that there might be no problem if TENKA IPPIN delivers a part of their stock to me in token of thanks our unthrift.
Especially I used to go the shop in order to decide all-night study for examinations or submitting report with using precious more than one hour...
Supreme fool, I was.
The correct answer was to study or take a nap with using the time.
But, I believe that the KOTTERI (heavy rich) ramen had something to have an illusion that caused some miracles
-----
After reading "Koizumi-san is crazy for ramens", recently I have been a day-dream of "TENKA IPPNA ramen".
Today, I found out the shop in Tokyo area by my GPS cell, and could arrive at the shop eventually.
When I was college student, it was to need courageous attitude to order an extra-large ramen in my friends. Even more, ordering the chicken fry set men should have been a kind of violence, and they might have called me "bourgeois".
"This counter revolutionary molecule! You are not entitled to a warrior for proletarian revolution"
Of course, no one called me that, (it was too late coming born). I had been a Dorm leader of autonomy dormitory, anyway.
However, I am now the chief researcher of the major electronics manufacturers company.
I am the middle-management staff to crack down on union members. and a typical petit bourgeois, who have one wife and two daughters.
NOW Nobody blames me whatever I eat as a lunch.
-----
It was delicious. Really delicious.
But I don't feel as delicious as when I was a college student.
Missing might be a "sense of guilt".
I took the concept of "Hokkyoku-Ramen" into my workplace.
I also think I could never deny the fact in my life.
However, recently, my workplacee becomes wired.
-----
Now I am working as a head office of a big project.
I bully the project members into an hard deadline.
I am a feeling like the hooligans, who cannot become a regular member of a Yakuza-group and works as an bottom man. I am about to bully a creditor, in response to the request from the financial institution.
In addition, I have thrown "Hokkyoku-Ramen" into the dissipated workplace.
-----
"Ebata-san, I was already tired."
was described in my mail and sending
"a photograph of the Hokkyoku-Ramen eating up"
I feel that the project members are scared recently.
(Continuation from yesterday)
When I was a college student, I knew that a student of same grade of mine, tried to find a new original problem of "experiment report", that was not mandatory, and he also made a simulation program of the problem just by 8-bits PC at that time, and tried to solve the problem as an appendix.
At that time,
I remember that I was shocked as if I had been crushed into pieces.
That was a tremendous impact for me, with running around the college campus for the event of political agitation, demonstration and workshop, and I felt that these activities are something different from my real intention.
It was an act of sheer madness, emerging like a flash of nuclear bomb in front of me, during walking a road in a dark night.
"Solving the indicated problem" is not all.
Indeed, it is not "study" in fact.
I understood that I had not understood what the purpose of "study" was.
-----
He didn't tell his activity to anyone. Moreover, I was not proud of it, and didn't let it be known.
Because he just enjoyed solving the problem that he found by himself.
This gave me the second impact.
That means,
"Study" is not needed for credit and argument, but
just an amusement.

(Continuation from yesterday)
Of course, needless to say, any work of a organization makes ends meet in "mind of the give-and-take", however human being is likely to projects one's way of thinking on another person at the same time.
"Even another person cannot like "being asked" "
like the above.
-----
I can agree that "The thought of "If I ask for my work someone, I will do it by myself because it is faster" is danger"
However, it is true that "doing it by myself is faster than asking it to others".
Because it is true that "faster"
We can finish the work without any delay before asking someone to do it.
If we ask a work to someone, something different from our image of the work, is going to happen. In addition, the cost and time for the modification should be considerable.
Moreover, it is a pleasant feeling that "I will takes responsibility for for the work that I did only by oneself".
In addition, I hate to be scolded by someone because of other's fault of the work( Of course, any praise is welcome)
(To be continued)
Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.
Let's turn the world by Number(44) : Work style reform(3)
Nobody knows "productivity improvement" identity : the economy grows without human beings?
-----
There is a proverb "Make use of anybody who is at hand"
In this column's point, a father, who
"Make use of your daughter who is in bed"
has existed really.
I want to use an OSS GIS software, and I had spent much time at weekend for the research activities.
Above all, there is no information about the software.
It cannot be helped that there is no Japanese documents. However, why cannot I get English documents either?
I know that I can't complain about a free software in the OSS.
"Don't use it, if you complain"
If I get said it, I cannot argue against it.
Because it is really a just argument.
-----
I was going to be beyond bearing if I spend weekend time anymore, I bought a expensive technical book against my will.
By the way, there are strange book like, Economic Survey of Japan, Technology Survey of Japan, and Suicide Survey of Japan in my house.
However, I was about to cry because I could not find what I wanted to try in the expensive book.
There was nothing for it but to try the samples in the book, and to research information on the net. While doing them, I noticed
"Why is this data truncated here ?"
I tried to stop the the truncated function, I could succeeded in making a figure I wanted in just about no time.
-----
I almost cried that I had spent much time just for this procedure.
Taking this as an example,
"I used Shinkanse super express or airplane to go to a convenience store within two hundred meters from here."
"What a slight result even using much money and time !" however, this is "popular".
Thanks to this grand view of the trip, I can operate several functions of this GIS software.
However I wonder whether it pays or not.
-----
There are a lot of detour like them, in technology field.
To tell you the truth, I think that any route is a detour.
Some engineers think "this is a vain detour" and others become "irrationally defensive", It depends on their personality.
The former is right for a cost return, and the latter is right for a skill return.
Anyway, it is true that engineers has been tired from this "detour" everyday.
My daughters seem to go out to play with their lovers on holidays.
"Why can they live so fulfilling life?
I think that.
I remember my high school and college days, however, It doesn't seem to be as fulfilling as they are about romance.
Well, I have noticed that "it was self-responsibility".
-----
I feel unpleasant, so I think that
"This is the result of my education"

I am currently working on a report, which is expected to be in excess of 100 pages.
I have enough material, and if I re-structure it, it will be completed as a report, but it's going to be a long and tedious process.
In the past, I used to be able to work on these tasks while watching music or cartoons, but lately this has been impossible.
I come to be able to do both tasks at the same time.
I think this is evidence that my brain's parallel processing capacity (multitasking) is breaking down.
-----
But you may be able to multitask with content you've already watched.
In my case, "Three Kingdoms" is it.
Already, this content itself is already in the easy listening category for me.
All in all, I work through 95 episodes, about 100 hours of drama, while lazily listening to it.
-----
And, well, sometimes I think about this drama.
"The 'northern expedition' that Zhuge Liang tried many times is, in short, an 'aggression war'"
and
I'm sure that Hou Tong (Shi Yuan), who pretended to be Liu Bei at "Rakuhouha", was prepared to lose his life in his calculation, but that subordinate would have been killed by collateral damage for no reason.
I continue to work with thoughts that "ruin" famous scenes from the Three Kingdoms.
Yesterday, I went out for a rare family dinner.
Recently, my daughters have not been able to spend any time with me, however, last night, by some miraculous chance, we were all together, so I decided to eat out immediately.
One of last night's stories was "Unrequited Love for a Person I Hate".
Ebata: "Why can't I get this passionate feeling of 'I hate you' across?"
My family looked at me strangely and gave me a witty comment.
Wife: "Dad, you usually tell people those things verbally, don't you?"
Ebata: "Don't talk about me like I'm a psychopath. I'm just a normal, defensive-minded, small-minded businessman."
When my family heard this, they looked at me like, "Damn".
To tell you the truth, if I talked about what I write in my columns on a daily basis, I would die socially.
The survival strategy for business persons is to hide their inner secrets, defer to their superiors, and play it safe with their subordinates.
Well, that's beside the point.
-----
Ebata: "When I made a plan of ski events..."
Wife: "Have you ever organized a ski event?"
Ebata: "After we got married, we would go skiing and play tennis with my colleagues at the institute for a few years.
Wife: "Oh, I see. I had a feeling you'd been the character you are now from the moment we met."
Ebata: "When I was a student and even after I became an adult, a guy who was 'I don't want to go with just this guy,' appeared, and for some reason, he would get involved in my ski projects.
Daughter: "Why don't you just not talk to him?"
Ebata: "Of course, not. I didn't say anything to them. Even when he blatantly said in front of me, 'I want to go with you,' I just smiled and left."
Daughter: "Why were he coming in?"
Ebata: "One of the participants was even letting him join on their own."
Daughter: "Why don't you just say no?"
Ebata: "Can you say, 'I don't like that guy, so please turn him down ?& You can't, can you?"
Daughter: "I don't know if it's anyone else, but I think Dad can tell them."
Ebata: "No way! My friendships would be broken at that time"
Daughter: "You don't have any friendships to begin with, do you?"
Ebata: "That's 'me' now! I used to be the head of the tennis club, the realest of the real, and they used to call me 'the head of the tennis club who can't hit a service. I am starting to piss me off when I remember.
Wife: "And?"
Ebata: "I was emitting an aura of 'I hate you' with a passion that rivaled that of any other relationship, but I wondered why this feeling was not being conveyed.
Wife: "I see."
Ebata: "This made me angry at the insensitivity of the person receiving the aura of 'I hate you', but at the same time I was convinced that I myself was not receiving the aura of 'I hate you'."
Wife: "And?"
Ebata: "I ended up in a place called 'Skiing Alone'. When I think about it, I feel like that was the starting point of my 'history of being alone'..."
-----
(1) I like skiing in the first place.
(2) I like skiing with the person I like better than (1).
(3) Skiing with someone I don't like is more uncomfortable than (1) and (2).
The only optimal solution that satisfies the above (1) to (3) is 'skiing alone'.
(To be continued)
"Is there anything you fear, Mr. Ebata?"
I said that before.
The other day, I was asked
"Is there anything you can't do?"
-----
It is adult behavior to understand that it is lip service and let it flow smoothly -- however even so, we received a grand service.
I gratefully accepted it as a form of respectful aging spirit.
-----
What Mr. Ebata can't do -- and that's a lot of things, among them
"The inability to take into account the feelings of others."
is the top of lists.
Discrimination" is unacceptable in our company.
Do not discriminate against applicants, employees, or business partners based on any of the following characteristics.
Age, citizenship, color, sex, gender identity or expression, genetic information (or family genetic information), marital status, medical condition or disability, military service, pregnancy, race, national origin or ancestry, religion or religious belief, sexual orientation, or other characteristic protected by applicable law
I recently received compliance training, such as the above.
I accept this 100%, as I think it is true.
-----
Apart from that, and this is not "discrimination" -- I don't want to follow orders from a boss who is cheating.
Because I'm about to say, "Go clean up your relationships before you start complaining about my work progress, deadlines, and quality!"
Please cover this completely at my company as my job performance will suffer.
