You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
アシスタントとランチ。
I had lunch with my assistant today.
午後イチに会議が入っていたので、早めに出て、竹芝桟橋のところにある海が見えるレストランに行ってきた。
Since we both had a meeting right after lunch, we left the office a bit early and went to a restaurant located at Takeshiba Pier, where we could enjoy a nice ocean view from our seats.
東京湾クルーズのフェリー乗り場の前にあり、窓から見えるオーシャンビューの景色が最高なのに、値段はそこまで高くない。ということで、お互いに牛カルビランチをチョイス。盛りもいいし、味も悪くない。
The restaurant sits right in front of the ferry terminal for Tokyo Bay cruises. Despite the great view, the prices were reasonable. We both ordered the daily special—beef short ribs—which came with a generous portion of both meat and rice. It was delicious and very satisfying.
こうして、いっしょに食事ができるのもあと数回。新しい会社になれば、ほとんど１人で食べるのかなと。わたしが選んだ道だから否定できない。
I don’t get many chances to have lunch with her. Once I move to the new company I’m currently applying to, I’ll likely be eating lunch alone again. But this is the path I’ve chosen, and I have no regrets about the decision.
今から後戻りはしたくない。自分が選んだ道なのだから、自分の決断を信じて進んでいきたい。数年後に海外駐在の未来を目指して、いまは努力あるのみ。
I don’t want to dwell on the past. I believe in the choice I’ve made and trust that it will lead me to my future goal. I’ll stay focused on my new role—with my sights set on working abroad in the near future.
To be continued.
