I'll retire from this office at 3/31, and I'll be idle from 4/1.

I asked from my boss about "transfer to Tokyo branch office or retire from here".
Ah, but of course, this offer is not only to me but also some of this (Tokushima's) programmers, testers, operators, and so on.
The top wants to recruit all of us to Tokyo finally.

But I can't work at Tokyo, because my father lives alone, my grandmother is in hospital, and this is my most important thing, "I hate crowd". X-P
I heard, the Tokyo branch office's space is really small, and there are some watching cameras, so we need to work under the watchers every day...

So I selected to retire from here, and I'll return to my parents' home.
Perhaps some of my friends know I had hard depression before.
So I want to recover, and want to take free time to think my vocation.

I'll get the unenployment pay, making some puzzles and planting some vegetables for a few months.
But this retirement is not setback but advancement for me.

If you don't mind about an unenployed friend, please contact with me anytime.
Ah, but then, I'll be busy in March. X-P

Hidetoshi, it pains me to hear about your continued problems. Just know that your friends are looking forward to seeing more of you here on the forum now that you might have the time and inspiration to create new puzzles. Maybe what this world needs more of right now is not another sharp and talented brain locked up in an office in Tokyo, but someone with a heart of gold who cares for the sick and elderly, and who also has time and personal experiences that may be of great value to others. Like you said, this may be the beginning of something better for you. You'll find your way, and your friends will be here wishing you the very best.

Hello Klara,



Sorry for my unsuitable announcement.
But this is not negative but positive retire.
We (not only I but also some of my office friends) are thinking about it, 'retire from this office'.
Because the is not good for working, we are always watched from watchers about our works, our salaries are not enough for our hard working, and so on.

This is a sample, my friend told to his boss about his retire (if he is offered to go to Tokyo) about two weeks ago, so his boss answered him, "I see, so your final working day is two weeks later."
Today is his final working day...

Yes, my situation is a little better than his situation. X-P
This office is really merciless to employees...



If I don't mind about high salary, perhaps there are some companies in here.
But I want to recover my depression at the beginning, so I'll recover from my
depression, with making puzzles.
Fortunately, I'll be able to get the unemployeement pay about a half of year.
So I will be able to get the recovering time.

I think this will benefit you and all of us. Take a good break and be happy, and perhaps find some happier work in the future.

Dave

Have a nice time! Relax!

It may happen and you will finish Hedgehog/Makarov's cube?

Ah! Yes. X-)
The last mold for corner part was almost finished, but at the time, I had the hard depression.
(I couldn't do anything...)

I have some idea for puzzles, and I'll try to make some trials too.
And I believe the work makes me feel better.
