来週からの新しい会社での仕事に向けての準備をした。
I have made preparations for my upcoming job, which will begin in two days.
具体的には、まずユニクロを含む、いくつかの衣料品店に行ってYシャツを買いに行ってきた。これまで着ていたものは、全てくたびれているので、１週間分を新調すべくいろいろ見て回った。
One important task was to purchase new dress shirts since all of my old ones had worn out. I visited several clothing stores in search of suitable shirts for the week.
ユニクロでも高いと感じたが、デパートの紳士服専門店のほうが何倍も高かった。中には１枚２万円もするYシャツもあった。給料が上がったとはいえ、さすがにそこまで払うつもりはないので、結局、ユニクロで買うことにした。
While I found the dress shirts at Uniqlo to be somewhat expensive, those sold at department stores were even pricier. I came across a dress shirt that cost over 20,000 yen. Although my salary has increased with this job change, it was still beyond my budget. Consequently, I decided to purchase the shirts at Uniqlo.
次に、靴擦れをおこす革靴の修理に行ってきたが、修理には１週間かかるとのこと。来週から履くので、今日は出せず仕舞。来週出社してみて、周りの方の服装を見て判断したい。
Additionally, I visited a shoe shop to have my formal shoes repaired, as they had been causing discomfort in my feet. However, the clerk informed me that the repairs would take about a week, which posed a problem since I needed to wear them in just two days. I decided to postpone the repairs until after I start working at the new company.
ただもし、毎日履いていくようであれば、買い替えてもいいのかと思う。もう古いし、この機会に新調するのも悪くない。
If I find myself needing to wear formal shoes regularly, it may be a good idea to invest in a new pair. My current pair is quite old, and now would be an opportune time to replace them.
To be continued.
