I think that to prioritize what needs to be taken care of first is the very first step of our jobs. We often have to keep several balls in the air on the job, and it is not always right that they should be done in order they come in.

One of my co-workers is not good at prioritizing. He often leaves important jobs and gets done unimportant ones first. Recently, I am sometimes troubled by him... Sigh.

I know that it is difficult to take time out of our hectic schedule to prioritize our jobs. However, it surely helps us in terms of results as it is said, "The shortest way round is the longest way home." I have to drive it home to him, but it is quite a difficult job, I think. It is because he does not listen to what others say.

Would you recommend any great way to me? If you come up with any good idea, please let me know.

My husband and I have been paying off our mortgage for a long time. The interest of the mortgage is supposed to revise in March of next year.
I have set up a repayment plan that was for April of next year onward. I made it about four months ago.

Yesterday, I was browsing through some websites that were well documented about interest rates. Those sites said that market mortgage rates had already been above the rate which I expected when I made the repayment plan. Alas! There is over half a year still to go! The scheme comes crashing down...robably, we have to prolong the repayment period.

Now I am worried how high the rate will go and how long the extra term of payment will be. I feel a bit depressed.

I wish him a bright future.

My boss became a dad yesterday.

Last Wednesday, he said that it was one week past the due date and his wife went into the hospital. However, we finally ended up not to hear any good news from him by the end of last week. I was worried about his wife.

Today, he said that she had suffered from labor pain for three days and nights. Oh, three days and nights! It is absolutely too painful to imagine.

My labor was pretty quick and easy. My contractions did not start until I was given labor induction in the hospital and my daughter was born five hours after I felt the first contraction.My boss said that his wife was also given labor induction. However, her labor was not easy like mine.I felt a bit sorry for her, but maybe she has already forgotten the pain. There is no doubt now she is reveling in her happiness hugging her first baby.

I wish the baby boy a bright future.

As I wrote yesterday, I enjoyed swimming in a public pool with my family.

This morning, I was surprised to have found a ghost in a mirror. My left eye has been puffy.
I visited a doctor before going to the office. The doctor said that there was a possibility that I got a swimming-pool conjunctivitis. She said that it will take about two weeks until my eye will get well.
I have to get the medicine in my eye every two hours. What a bother!

I think it was good that my daughter did not get it. I hope that I will not give it to her. I will pay the closest attention.

We had a last enjoyment at a swimming pool today.

The swimming season has just finished. Alas! It was pretty hard.
I am grateful for those pools and the sea to have entertained my daughter. Thank you, and see you next year!

We are going to a circus.

My family and I are going to a circus this evening.
There is its Homepage on the internet. It says that they have the cat's circus in the program. I am looking forward to seeing it very much!
Are there any other jobs that are more difficult than drilling cats hard in a circus? I am sure there aren't!

Our seats are in the front row of the theater. Now I can hardly wait for the starting time.

If everyone asks to others, "Is there anything I can do for you?", we willbe happier in my office. However, now our hands are full and do not have the bandwidth. We cannot care about others. I think that having a chat for a while is pretty helpful to refresh ourselves even while working, but of course now we leave no room to do so.

Anyway, my co-workers and I managed to have gotten through the worst of this month. I feel relieved at the moment.

Now I am trying to create standards of some of our jobs. Probably, the rule will be a kind of savior for us. The power will be still weak at first, though. I have to improve it step by step. I wish I had more skills, but it is an impossible dream. I will do all I can do. I hope it will help us as well as possible.

I am busy with my current job around the end of the month. My job business varies from week to week. Generally, I am not so busy in the early days of the month. At this time of month, my job is awfully hectic, quite the contrary.

I had never experienced a job that undergoes a periodic change like this since I came back to the office as a working mother. Such change is definitely unwelcome for me.

Tomorrow will give me a terrible time... I can hardly wait till this weekend.

Thank you for visiting here, but I will take a day off of writing today's blog entry. It is because now I have a migraine. I'm sorry about that.
My present migraine is not heavy. Please do not worry about that.

By the way, I was able to spell the word, "migraine", without using any dictionary. My migraine made me remember the spell. There is no doubt that everything means something to us.

What is this? 
2008.08.26.Tue / 18:41  / Edit /
Today, I received a correction of yesterday's entry. I could not help but scream to see it..."Ahhhhhhh!!"

I wrote "Why I do not like him?" Of course, correct sentence is "Why do I not like him?" We, Japanese people, learn sentences like this when we are junior-high students.
In addition, I wrote "he/she's"! What is this?

I am now awfully embarrassed. I wish I could sink through the floor...
I do not know why I made such mistakes. I wrote them without thinking. Those mistakes brought home to me that my English study does not cut it.
