Being busy of late! I am working on multiple projects, fixing issues on
previous one and developing a new app in new project. In fixing issues,
I have to take immediately if there is something issues. About new one,
deadline is coming on late in this month. That is multi-tasking so that it
seems to be getting more busy... I am wondering how the projects is because
I need to work even at my home sometimes.
In the situation which is in issues and development,
I went to the client office at the first time!
The client which I went is one of the greatest company in Canada.
The issues hasn't been settled easily on previous project so they held
the meeting including me, who is a developer, to share the design exactly.
The reason was like disgraceful? at the debut lol
I want to explain about the project a little. It is the development of software
for Android and our resources are two people, one project manager and
I of one developer, mainly. The other side, my employer and technical chief
support us about technical design. And the software has been delivered
to them and it is being tested by the client.
The day before to the client, the project manager said
"Shinya, We need to go to their office tomorrow."
And it was decided I also get them. At the meeting, I went with usual clothes
because he told me I didn't need to be care of my clothes.
The building where the office is in was big at middle of Toronto
as one of the greatest company in Canada.
In the taxi to the office,
"8 floor in the building is really awesome! There are many things like cafe
or magazines etc so everything is there!"
"But we will be just 9 floor!"
He explained lol
When I got there, I could make sure the building is so big even it has
a terminal for taxies as I expected. It has an automated gate at the entrance
as well as subway. It seems to be keeping high security. That is like Japanese
big company. The thing most of impression is about their office, the looks
was just the office we can see in the hollywood's movie. There are some private
rooms fitted with glass for executives and each employees were working
at the seat separated by partitions.
At the meeting, some employees joined from the client. That is exactly
their looks was casual. Moreover they talk to our project manager like
friends. I thought to seem that it is foreign countries.
Of course, they can speak English very well except me and it was so hard
to just understand what they discussed about... No, if anything, it was very
difficult to follow their conversation. So when they asked to me as a
developer, I passed to my project manager not to care them if I could
understand :) I chuckled if I thought about why I was here unexpectedly lol
Though the time was not really that I could think it...
Not just Japan, I made sure again the function design can't be made decision
unless we control them well(This is the opinion for developer. I think
there is also different opinion). The technic is important to make decision
about design which developers can make easy. The skill to explain "why"
is needed to realize it and I think I don't have the skill enough to explain
that in English. It taught me to have to fix a difficult issue :(
In this way, although I debut to the client as I didn't expected the case,
I am sure that my English is not really well... I could just go through at
the time because I joined as one of developer. But I must improve
for the near future...
I have to touch "English" rather than studying!
Talk to you soon!
