You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日は、以前勤めていた会社の子会社へ打合せに行ってきた。
I attended a meeting at one of the subsidiaries of my former company.
打合せの前に、以前の会社で一緒だった人に挨拶をしてきた。
Prior to the meeting, I took the opportunity to visit my former colleagues and exchange greetings since I had recently changed jobs.
直接、退職のあいさつはできなかったものの、やはりわたしが退職したことは知っていて、その後の状況などを聞かれた。
Although I hadn’t directly informed them about my resignation, they were aware of my situation and inquired about my current job.
久しぶりに前の会社の人と会うのは悪い気はしない。ただ、飲み会はしたくないかなと。
It was pleasant to catch up with my ex-coworkers. However, I still prefer not to socialize over drinks with current employees of my previous company.
夜は自分の時間として、副業を進めたいと思って、今度飲もうと言われたが、社交辞令として受け取ることにした。
I have other commitments, such as my side hustles at night, that I want to prioritize. Therefore, I politely accepted their invitation for a drink, using flattering words.
To be continued.
