soundness of systems

There are 10 manual works. I try to replace the three works with computer processes, but it turns out irrelevant because there remains over seven manual works, including the new work such as the confirmation of the computer output.

I'm afraid a job has more or less those unwanted works. If new applications add on those systems, the systems will become doubtful asset, and of course the TCO will rise.

System auditers will check and announce the soundness of corporation systems. It will measure the ability of managers.

questions linked with reminder

I read the article in the newspaper which Japan would toughen up the medical inspection because a bird flu might have been transported by human being in Nanjing.

I'm afraid that the check of quarantine for entering Japan is too optimistic because we are requested to report our self-condition by ourselves. They will care a voluntary declarer as I did. I told them I had diarrhea when coming back from Egypt and was ordered not to go out for several days. However, there may be no efficient way to prevent the virus at the border.

Nonetheless, the questions on the declare form should be changed from clerking to reminder. If we return from the country where we are recommended not to drink tap water, we should be asked as following, 'Did you drink tap water?'. We could understand clearly what we shouldn't do during travel.

a father's back

I read one of the prize essay of the 57th writing contest for elementary and junior high school students in a newspaper this morning. The writer thought what an ideal father should be at home through the dialogue with his father who seemed to live only for his work.

You can see the key conversations which pulled father's real feelings. Though he sometimes was offended at father's sayings, I found that their conversations constructed their reliability. I also found that an one-way thought or refusal of talking would become the barrier to understand each other.

Things will become relative through conversations. If you only concentrate the father's first reply, you will misunderstand him as an old Hickory. However, his real intension manifested itself by his opinion towards child-care leave and what he felt the most painful.

I believe that we are requested to develop the above communication skills and don't need to be eloquent if we could.

Labor Thanksgiving Day

My son and daughter gave me a self-made present for Labor Thanksgiving Day. Their nursery school plans this gift every year. I got a medal and a tropfhy this year. The small box for tissue I had two years ago has been used by my family.
Moreover, he added 'Thanks a lot!' before he said good-night to me. I was very glad and I've decided to work harder.

diversity

I've thought that I don't need to wash my body every day since I read the book which wrote about cooperative bacteria with human body. You will agree with the author who emphasized the importance of living with various bacteria in daily life.

It's applicable to our social life. I think there are a lot of problems caused by persons in unchanged circumstances. They tend to be ignorant of real world and can't understand the value of diversity.

To design the various corporate application system is as if I repeat the carrer change every nth of a year. I often know the core of client's business through designing. I've been very impressed by the variety of company's style and enjoyed it, though I have to endure my ignorance when I begin to work for a new client.

I should take care of diversity and live with it.

influences from images

My son and daughter said the same words they heard from the TV commercial advertising Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. tackled the elimination of landmines. I was very surprised that they memorized such words like murmurs, and worried about the strong influence from visual effects at the same time.

Honestly speaking, I thought they went overdrive on the bad effects from TV or games, because everyone didn't show the same reaction. However, I've got nervous that children would be suffered from images which burned on thier mind because they saw them when they couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

I hear we see everything through our own psychological filter. Grown-up lets a TV commercial pass because we are able to judge its worth measuring by our own criterion. 'As the boy, so the man' may emphasize the importance of developing fair standards.

We are forbidden to have a meal watching TV at home because of my wife's strong will. To tell the truth, I had supper watching TV when I was in childhood and so I just regarded as a bad manner. I have to be careful of watching TV for the above reason.

Nappy


I bought the noodle which I've eaten at school-provided lunch. I remenber that it had been served in a bowl into which usually used to scoop rice. I feel it had tasted more boring, but I can't recollect the savor because it was over 20 years ago.

The worst food was 'Nappy' in my scooldays. It's a little monaka filled with natto. Nobody knew it until it offered. And then it became the focus our utmost attention because of its awful taste. Since then, I've never seen it.

However, I found a experience note on the web that a man tried to eat it. I also saw someone reported on the same site that she ate 'Nappy' in her scooldays. I suppose she and I commented on the same 'Nappy'.

Although I feel nostalgic, I would like to have more delicious foods.
