While I stayed at my wife’s home town, I read 2 books and watched 1 Netflix drama series.

なめらかな世界と、その敵 is the one and which is collection of short stories for science fiction.
Very well written and full of great idea.
But unfortunately I’m not capable enough to explain nicely.

Another one is 成瀬は天下を取りにいく.
I love that story where Naruse is behaving a bit strange but attracting.
The balance is great between her humanity and non-human like part.
If there’s no humanity at all, that living thing is more like animal and no more interesting.

Umbrella academy is the drama series and it’s 4th series which will be final.
But it’s a bit disappointing. I wanted to see the good ending with the characters in the TV series.

From tomorrow, I need to go back to work.
I need money to retire from work.

My company will be restructuring for the 2nd time this year.

This is quite bad news.
We have lost the people of 4% in Feb.
Then we will lose 7% of people in my company this time.

Company performance factor which will be directly used for calculation on bonus is worst in this 20 years.
Only good thing is the price of share is going a bit high based on the news and conference call.

I love my company as working environment is good and compensation is very competitive.
I will need to expect decreasing of my salary when I change my job.

Maybe I can survive this time, as restructuring itself is the event almost every year.
But I strongly hope the improvement of my situation in the company especially when I survive the harsh restructuring as I will be the kind of winner, and I’m not the non-contributor to the company.

Taking 11 days off as Obon vacation and still I have remaining 3 days.

Situation of August is a bit different from last year.
Usually my wife and daughters went back her home town at end of July, and I can enjoy single like about 1 week.

But my elder daughter has private tutor.
And she can only take days off in Obon week.
So we went back to my home town together at first, then moved to my wife’s home town, and stayed 6 days.

This couldn’t be helped as my daughter is growing and staying in parent’s home town long will be unnatural more and more.
But I miss the feeling of staying in my home like single.
