man's world

This month is the month of terminal accounts in my company. In order to accomplish our sales target, we did our best to send as many bills as possible. Fanally, we did acomplish! Meanwhile, accounting personnel became so busy to handle a bulk bills because we ask her to make bills at the last minute. I'm sorry to her and I can't blame for her being irritated by that. However, my male coleagure kiddid on and said, "She was in a terrible mood now. You would be better call her later." as she was lake a hysterical woman. I can't believe that! Because i presumed that they might tell about me as a hysterical woman. This made me feel fear. It is easy to set a woman up as the hysterical, crazy woman even if she is capable in her job.

TOEIC 3rd try

I took 3rd TOEIC test today. I could do it to the last for the first time. In my two trial, almost ten questions I could not even read remained. Therefore I was pleased with today's outcome and excited with joy. My target score was 750 this time. Finally I want to enjoy communication in English without inconvenience at any situations. TOEIC test is not the final goal. However I think I have to get score 800 at TOEIC test as soon as possible without cramming for just TOEIC test.

My New Year's resolutions

1: cleaning
I read a book the end of the last year. According to the book, the more you clean down, the more luck you can get. As I believed this way of thinking and did housecleaning, I felt great after I see the clean my room. Since the beginning of this year I've never fogotten to open the windows to get fresh air. It is cold a bit this season to circulate air, but breathing fresh morning air make me refresh.

2: smile a lot
As we got older our cheeks went down. That don't look young and happy. To get youth and happiness I will smile much more than last year.

3: using my time more effectively
At the end of last year, I got an action planner for the first time in almost 5 years. I had used the loose-leaf day planner for almost 5 years. It was convenient because it plays several roles which are address book, memo, business card folder. However it is just day planner, not time planner. I usually work in front of a display all day, so I have thought I don't need minute-to-minute action plan. This way of thinking made my perceptions of time reduce. I hadn't been aware of time to do something, how many minutes it takes to write an email or to form an estimate etc. In this case, I cannot use my time effectively.
