嫁の妊娠59 ～仕事メールの是非～

嫁は出産予定日まで１００日を切ってからも変わらず、よく食べてよく喋る。

昨日もボクが早めに帰れたので、鶏肉の照り焼きとポテトサラダを作った。

ポテトサラダはボクの特製で、ジャガイモの皮を剥いて一口大に切ってからレンジへ。普通の大きさのジャガイモなら３つ分で６００Ｗで５分ほど。

その間に、スライサーでキュウリの薄切りを手早く作り、ニンジンはピーラーで身を薄くそぎ取ってから千切りかざく切り。コリコリ感が好きならそのままでもいいが、ボクは少し柔らかめのほうが好きなので、ジャガイモの後にレンジで１分温める。

そしていつもはハムなのだが、昨日はベーコンが余っていたので軽く焼いて大き目のみじん切りに。

ジャガイモが潰せるぐらいの柔らかさになると、ボールに移し、フォークでザクザクと潰す。

ザッと潰れたところで、まだ熱いぐらいのときに酢を小さじ１、コンソメ顆粒を小さじ１入れてまたザクザクしてなじませる。

続いてマヨネーズを大さじ１～２ほどを入れて軽く混ぜたら、キュウリ、ニンジン、ベーコンを入れる。

そこからはひたすら、永遠と混ぜ続ける。

ジャガイモのゴツゴツ食感を全て潰す。そんな食感いらない。なめらか中のなめらかを目指す。

良く混ざってきたら少し味を見て、恐らく多少薄く感じると思うので、あとはお好みでマヨネーズや酢、レモン汁なんかを足してもいい。

そして忘れてはいけない、砂糖を小さじ１ほど振りまいて、さらに混ぜる。

これが一番のキーポイント。

そして最後の最後に、あらびき胡椒を振りまいてさらに混ぜれば完成。

簡単に説明するとこんな感じだが、とにかくこれが美味しい。

しかも作った直後ではなく、一晩置いた翌日、つまり今日が、最強に美味しくなるのだ。

作った直後は隠し味の砂糖のせいで多少味にまったり感が出てしまうが、一晩経てばあら不思議。

全ての味がポテトに馴染んで、尋常ではない美味さになる。

よしよし、と出来上がったジャガイモ６個分のポテトサラダを眺めて一服しながらスマホを見ていると、仕事のメールに気付いた。

開いてみると、最近知り合った年上の仕事相手からのメールだった。

ご丁寧に、ボクの名前に「様」が付けてある。

そして本文もすべて敬語。

最後には、「何卒、ご査収のほど、よろしくお願い致します」と締められていた。

最近知り合ったと言っても、この人も関西の出身で、最初から結構打ち解け、ボクが、敬語じゃなくていいですよ、と言ってからは普通に話していた人。

なのに、仕事のメールとなるとほとんどの人が、年下でもなんでも、「さま」を付け、敬語というか丁寧語のオンパレードになる。

ボクはこれに違和感を隠せない。

つい先日も、昔から知っている先輩のディレクターに仕事を振ったら、忙しいから後輩のディレクターを紹介すると言われて紹介された。

そのディレクターは３３歳でボクよりも年下なので、最初から呼び捨てのタメ口で接する。

ボクは基本的に、業界歴が上でも年下には敬語は使わないし、業界歴が下でも年上には敬語を使う。

業界歴なんてどうでもいい。人間として、年齢が上の人は敬わなければならないと思っている。

でも、その紹介してくれた先輩ディレクターには、怒られる。

「いきなりタメ口で呼び捨てって、お前なかなかやな」と。

でも、考えてみてほしい。

新しい仕事で知り合った年上の先輩が、自分のことをさん付けで呼び、何かを指摘される場合、敬語で指摘される。

ボクの持論だが、スタッフ同士で年下に敬語を使っている人がいる現場は、なんか空気が悪い。

最初は多少違和感があるかもしれないが、年上なのでタメ口も納得するしすぐに慣れる。

そうしたほうが、例え怒られる状況になったとしても普通に聞ける。敬語で怒られたり、メールでミスを指摘されたりすると、普通にタメ口で言われるよりもダメージが大きいように思う。

なので、ボクは仕事で知り合った年下には、必ず最初からタメ口を使って呼び捨てにする。

嫌われるとか陰口を言われるとか、そんなことはどうでもいい。

この世界では、面白いコトを考えて発信できたヤツの勝ちなので、ボクの陰口なんかを言っている負の時間があるなら、その時間で１つでも面白いコトを考えてみろ、と思う。

まぁただ、これも自分が面白いコトを考えられるとの自負があるからだが、それが表に出すぎるときがあるので、それは気を付けよう。



★★★ENGLISH VERSION★★★("excite translation" it's just as it is, so when not knowing the meaning, please accept it.)


◆Wife's pregnancy59　～Right or wrong on a work mail～

My wife doesn't change, often eats and often talks 100 days until a childbearing due date after it's cut.
I could also return rather early yesterday, so chicken teriyaki and potato salad were made.
Potato salad is to a microwave after the skin I'm special and by which I'm potato is peeled and it's cut into bite size. Potato with the regular size is 600W for 3, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile carrot makes a thin slice of cucumber with a slicer readily, and cuts it into thin strips or cuts it coarsely after a body is scraped thin by a peeler. If liking a crunchy sense, it's good even just as it is, but I like the rather a little soft one, so it's heated up for 1 minute at a range after potato.
And usual is ham, bacon was left yesterday, so it's baked lightly, and it's in rather big mincing.
When it'll be softness by which potato is to the extent you can kill, it's moved to the ball, with a fork, noisily, if, I kill.
Even if I crush readily, when it's to the extent it's still hot, teaspoon 1 puts teaspoon 1 and consomme granules in, and it's done noisily again, and makes vinegar matched.
Next if mayonnaise is mixed lightly including tablespoon 1-about 2, cucumber, carrot and bacon are put in.
Earnestly, I keep mixing with eternity from there.
All GOTSUGOTSU food texture of the potato is crushed. I don't need such food texture. Smooth, whole, I aim at whether they're licks.
If often mixing, I check the taste a little, and thinks it's probably felt a little thin, so you like the back and mayonnaise, vinegar and drop of lemon juice may be added.
And about 1 sprinkles a teaspoon, and more sugar you aren't supposed to leave is mixed.
The key where this is most.
When sprinkling coarse grind pepper at the last end and mixing more, it'll be completed.
When it's explained easily, it's such feeling, but anyway this is good.
Moreover not just after it was made, but the next day put one night in other words today become strongest well.
Just after making, a sense waits a moment in the taste by a cause of secret ingredient sugar, and goes out, in one night, offal wonder.
The taste of everything will be matched with potato and be deliciousness which isn't ordinary.
OK, I noticed that SUMAHO was thought to be good while looking at potato salad of for 6 finished potatoes and resting on a mail of the work.
When it opened, it was a mail from the older work partner who met recently.
Politely, "the state" is put on my name.
And a body is also all respect languages.
It's last, "Please receive.", it was tightened.
The person who was ordinarily speaking after even if he said that he met recently, this person opened up fairly from the beginning from Kansai, too, and I said that it didn't have to be a respect language.
When it'll be a mail of the work though it's so, most people put everything and the "condition" on the younger person, and it'll be on parade of the polite expression whether you say a respect language.
I can't hide uneasiness in this.
If work was also only assigned to the senior director who knows from the past the other day, when junior's director was introduced because I was busy, it was called, and it was introduced.
They're younger than me by 33 years old, so the director touches by the Tame mouth of a call by the first name from the beginning.
Industry reki doesn't also use a respect language for a younger person at the top basically for me and industry reki also uses a respect language for an elder person at the bottom.
How is it is also fine for industry reki. I think an older person has to respect as man.
But the, it's scolded for the senior director who introduced.
"You don't like a call by the first name easily by the Tame mouth suddenly.".
But I want you to think.
One the thing by which the older superior who met to new work is himself, oh, when calling by a bill and pointing something out, it's pointed out by a respect language.
It's my pet theory, but air is bad for the site where a person with a respect language is necessary for a younger person between the staff.
The beginning may be a little incongruous, but they're older, so the Tame mouth will be also convinced and familiar immediately.
Even if such one will be the situation that you compare and get angry, it can ordinarily be heard. When you're scolded for a respect language and point out a mistake by mail, I think damage is big more than it's ordinarily called by the Tame mouth.
So I'm made a call by the first name certainly using the Tame mouth from the beginning for the younger person who met to work.
You're disliked and say malicious gossip and how is it is also fine for such thing.
I think "It's a win of the fellow who could think and send fascinating Koto in this world, so consider even 1 fascinating thing in the hour if there is negative time when my malicious gossip is being talked about."
Oh, it's because there is pride as which one can also regard fascinating Koto this, but there is time when that obtrudes itself upon a table, so I'll be careful of that.

thank you
