I’m planning to get a pocket-sized personal organizer.
Could you share your experiences using this size?
I’d like to use it to keep track of my study progress and stay motivated as I prepare for my certification exam this fall.
I work as a dedicated CAD operator at a small factory in a rural town. I use AutoCAD to create drawings of steel tunnel frameworks.
Although I was earning a relatively good salary for a rural area (over 6.5 million yen a year), the staff in the steel processing department ruined all my hard work and attention to detail.
Even when we wrote precise measurements and angles on the drawings, people would process the steel without looking at them, or they’d mix up the drawings in the first place and end up delivering completely wrong products.
This resulted in a massive loss for our workplace. After the president, who had rushed over from Tokyo, yelled at the steel processing team, everyone’s salary was cut by 7%.
Last winter’s bonus, which had always been paid without fail, wasn’t paid a single yen.
As a “kid from Tokyo” working in a rural area (though I’ll be turning 37 in two months), I’m the only one at this factory with a college degree. Maybe because I’m a single woman—a rarity in the countryside—the middle-aged women here say all sorts of strange things to me.
Their daughters are around my age or younger, and since they’re married or have children, they call me a “slacker” behind my back.
I was hired to create formal drawings for submission to construction companies, and that is what I should be focusing on.
However, I am being made to create everything from the detailed drawings that should normally be handled by the steel fabrication team, to drawings for fabrication, and even layout drawings for loading onto trucks.
The reason I started doing this extra work is that the oldest and most senior part-time worker—who only does simple tasks unrelated to the blueprints—yelled at me and forced me to do it.
She did it just to curry favor with the full-time steel processing and production control staff.
Some of the steel processing supervisors yell at a Vietnamese boys, and I get sick of hearing it every time.
His tone is just like that of a bully from elementary school—he lacks any sense of intelligence. What’s more, the one doing most of the yelling is the very man who made the mistake that led to the massive losses I mentioned earlier. Not only does he never apologize, but he’s also incredibly stubborn.
I’m not quitting my job just yet because I need the money, but after I finish my work in worktime, I secretly study for the real estate broker’s exam on my computer. because no browsing history left behind.
During my breaks, I openly read my study guides for the certification exam.
Once I get my certification, I want to quit right away and find a new job in a place like Nagoya or Gunma—somewhere that’s not too urban but not too rural either.
