June

June is dangerous season for me. I'm always too honest in June. I confess my real intention in June. Why?
I quitted the architect office in Nagano in past June. I complained about sexual and power harassment from my boss to the compliance officer in past June. I broke up with my ex-boyfriend in past June.
These reasons were that I wanted to do so. And I wrote this diary in this June.

A friend of mine from university said that she always becomes nervous when a low pressure area is coming to Japan. One day, the weather was going bad to worse, she cut an electric cord by scissors in front of her cow-workers. Though the phone had kept ringing for a few hours in the office nobody would not answer the phone except her. She cried "Answer the phone" and cut an electric code. She intended to cut a telephone wire but she made a mistake. The cord she cut was a cable for local area network.
Her hobby is wind surfing. She said it's a best way to ease stress and she needs a good dose of sunshine on weekends.

My previous pet cat Tama, she sometimes went into convulsions when a low pressure area is coming to Japan. A friend of mine who is an animal doctor explained it was natural for cat.

I have never cut an electric cord yet but I can understand her behaving like that. Also, I cannot lie in June because of this gloomy weather. It's difficult to explain. Something completely different…
I realized that I cannot dream of my future in the organization I work in now. Suddenly I realized I reached the limit of endurance last Monday. I won't complain anything any more. The conclusion is clear and I want to think over concrete plans of my future.

The fact isn't that I was in emergency because of June, but I could end the emergency because of June. My decisions in past June were right. In Japan, people often say if we start something in June, we can continue it for a long time.
To start something, I have to quit something.
That's all.

A turtlebird (2)

Early in the morning on Sunday, we put it on the same place, at the base of tree. Before we put it, its mother bird( lady turtle bird has white belly) had been near the tree and had looking for her baby. We heard that if a baby bird had a smell of human being, its parent bird would abandon it. So we decided to let it out. It was still raining on Sunday but we left it. I put a plastic bag on the top of tree. At least it needs not to get wet. I wondered why it cannot fly and take shelter from the rain.
In the afternoon, it was going to clear up. When I saw that it preened its feathers, I felt at ease. It was still alive and had some energy to do something.
After a while, its father bird who had red belly came to it and sat in front of it. After he left, its mother bird came there and sat in front of it. They looked that they encouraged it.

When we looked for it in Sunday evening, they were not there. Did they leave? We're looking for them. I found the baby bird who was on the roof of the house next door. She didn't move too. Since the distance from the window of my room and the roof is only 2m, I could watch it. At least, before the sundown, it didn't move. I became increasingly worried.
On Monday morning, when I got up, it wasn't there. It left. I want to think that it fly away into distance. I want to believe so.

I always call to a friend of mine who is an animal doctor when I have a trouble about the pet animals. The turtledove isn't my pet but I called and asked her. What should I do?

After baby birds of turtledove left their nest, they cannot fly immediately. They practiced flying and sometimes come back to their nest. And their parents always keep a very close watch them grow. It takes a few days to fly away.
What I saw might be a natural phenomenon. But I felt parental love of turtledove. It was the first experience of bird watching. It has been 3 days since they left. Where are they taking shelter from this rain now?

A turtledove

At the beginning of this spring, a couple of turtledove built a nest in a maple tree in the front garden of my parents' house. Two baby birds hatched and flied from the nest last Friday. They left the nest but it doesn't mean that they can become independent. The first-born baby bird seemed to live on its own but the other one couldn't leave the garden. It had stayed at the base of tree for two days. Its parent birds sometimes came to see it. They seemed to press it to fly but it couldn't move. The baby bird was little and fragile.
Unfortunately, it began raining in the evening last Saturday. The baby bird got wet but still wouldn’t move. The parent birds left it to take shelter from the heavy rain. Did you see a lightning and listen a clap of thunder? We worried about it. We thought that it might be die because of the cold. It was difficult to do nothing for us.
We decided to offer it a bed. The baby bird was so exhausted that it didn't make any attempt to escape when my mother picked it up in her hands. We put it in a small box and put the box inside the room. It got a sleep as soon as we covered the box. As you know, it had been raining heavily at Saturday night. We should not interfere in the balance of nature. But we thought that the rain was too cruel for a small baby bird.

To be continued.

A seminar

I went to Tokyo Big Sight to attend a seminar today. Though It's far from my house and the office, I sometimes go to there to see an international trade fair. I like to see furniture and building materials there. Tokyo Big Sight has large halls for trade fairs.
It was my first experience to go to its international conference hall. The audience was over 700! The conference hall was large too.
The seminar had already held 10 times or more in Japan this spring and it will be held at least 10 times somewhere in Japan.
The Building Standards Law will be changed at the end of this month. We are shocked this news. As you know, a qualified architect, Mr. Aneha committed a crime. And the ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan noticed the laws had been not strict and decided to improve them. This seminar is held to explain the changes in the laws.
The textbook is really thick. It might be a good pillow. It's also heavy. Actually, the most serious for us is our responsibility is going to be heavier like this textbook.
Documents for construction which we have to write will increase. And naturally, working hours must increase. But can our fee increase? We don't want to write documents for construction any more. This isn't a joke. We might have a dream in this job but can't make big money. I know that everybody can't earn easy money. Probably today's diary is my complement.
The lecture was so long and difficult for me that I was exhausted.
It's time to sleep.
