ハケンの品格

This TV drama reminds me my work attitude before I started my first job. It reminds me the time when I was working in the JLM computer lab until 12am. Then ran down from the hilll to catch the last train to go home.

Work is to get the job done, not to please the boss. Work is to sit down and work. Not to sit in front of the computer all day pretending that I'm busy.

I remember all those nights when I was working overnight in the lab with friends. We had chips all night to keep us awake. We cheered each other up to meet the deadlines every month. That's team work. We worked together to get Varsity out on time every month.

I didn't work simply to take orders. I cared whether what I did was effective to approach my goal. My goal was simple. My paper got to be submitted before the deadline. Varsity got to be out before the first day of every month.

No salary. Getting the job completed was the goal. And work was satisfying.

I need to go back and take up my old work attitude.
