Psychological Safety

Psychological safety is a famous method for building a good team. It tells that it is very important for members to ask anything easily to other members. A team whose members help each other is very strong, and having psychological safety is one of the indicators of such a strong teams.

My current team mainly communicates on Slack. So, if we want to ask members something, we must ask on Slack. It was very difficult for me since I felt it was very hard to ask on chat than to ask face to face.

I changed my mind and tried to ask some questions on Slack this week. It was so good, my team members were so kind, and I could work productively this week. I thought and recognized again that psychological safety was so important.

Job Interview

Recruiting prominent persons is very important to enhance a company. In my group, all team members interview a candidate. My team is very small, so an interview is a big event since most of the members have to take time for an interview.

There is my concern about interviewing. My English is poor, but I have to interview in English when a non-Japanese speaker comes. The interview takes one hour, and it is so long for me.

I got a notification today that a new candidate is coming, and who is a non-Japanese speaker. The interview will take place two weeks after. I am so nervous, but I have to do it. I will prepare for the interview to do a good interview.

CALDI

Because of COVID-19, many stores and restaurants have closed. That is bad news, but that can be good news since many new stores and restaurants have opened. A famous variety store, CALDI, opened at the station near to my home this week, and I went there today. The main item of the store is coffee, but I am not interested in that because I prefer espresso to coffee recently. However, I found there are many interesting items at the store. I was very interested in Thai food and drinks, and I bought some Thai noodles and beer. I enjoyed shopping at the new store.

Body Hair Removal: First Treatment

As I posted before, I was interested in body hair removal, and I was looking for a clinic. I took counseling at three clinics, and I finally chose the most reliable one.

It is the first day to take a treatment today. I went to the clinic, and I contracted and paid money. I was thrilled a little bit since the price was very high. I would remove all body hairs finally, but I took a treatment only for VIO and face today. I heard that I would get heavy pain from the treatments for such parts. It was true and so painful. I sweat unpleasantly. I didn't like the pain, but I was happy for my body hair to be removed.

I hate pain, but I will do my best.

Code Review

I joined a new team the last month, and I started to develop software in the team. That was a great experience for me since I have never developed software. I have coded some programs, but all the programs were only for myself or people who are very close to me. Softwares are different from such programs. Many people use them, so they are developed carefully, not including bugs, and are easy to use. I can't develop such software since it needs a lot of knowledge and experience. Fortunately, I am now rapidly learning such skills during the code review. The code review is one of software development frameworks. When you code something, the team members will review the codes. They sometimes comment if they find something to improve the codes. In that way, the codes keep high quality, and the members will enhance their skills with each other. I realized the benefits very much during the code review.

Complaints about Girlfriend

I have a girlfriend our relationship has been for two months. I went drinking with her today, and I told some complaints to her.

I have some complaints to her that she was busy and we didn't meet recently. I would accept she was busy with work, but she was actually busy going hang out with her friends. I couldn't understand that because it meant her priority to me was less than one to her friends.

I didn't know that she understood my complaints, but I hope the situation is getting better.

Body Hair Removal 2

As I posted previously about body hair removal, I had a plan to take counseling at other clinics. I went to two clinics today. It was an interesting experience. The first clinic was so good, their explanation was very clear, and I could know much that I couldn't know at the previous clinic. I felt this clinic was very polite because they told me a negative explanation like that I had to make a reservation for each of my body parts like upper body, lower body, delicate area, and face. I was not told about such the negative explanation from the previous clinic didn't. In total, I took counseling at three clinics. I felt the first and third ones are not polite and expensive. I thought their first principle was earning. The second one was polite and reasonable price. I decided to take treatments at the second one, which was the most polite clinic, I thought.
