採用調査・人事調査の企業サービス【昭和５４年創業】

天候異変。先週水・木と業界の会合で東京へ出張していた。テレビも新聞も見ず、バタバタと過ごし木曜の夜遅く自宅に帰ると、妻が
「お父さん昨日の大雨知っている・・・」、「イヤ何も。雨降ったん・・」、「新聞も見てへんの・・、寝屋川のほう大変やったんやから・・」。
ただ、我が家は何と云う事はなく、翌日普通に出勤した。すると昼ごろ妻から電話、「お父さん大変・・。まえの家（今年３月に転居）の近所、
雨で大変やったみたい。うちは特にどうもないけど隣の○○さん、向いの○○さんは床下浸水。
４軒隣の○○さんは床上浸水でタンスの３段目まで水が来て、避難したんだって。」、「なにそれ・・・」、「で、○○さんの家、
住まれへんようやし・・。家貸してもいいかな？」、「ぜんぜん構へん、入って貰ったらいいがな・・」。　そんな事で、
空き家にしていた家に利用価値がでてきた。

それにしても最近の雨の降り方、どうなっているのだろう。部分的集中豪雨による鉄砲水で死者何名、ところが隣町は、「雨ふったん・・
・」て云う感じ。完全な亜熱帯地方の天候に変わりつつある。多分原因は、自然環境破壊による温暖化現象のなせるわざであろう。
そして間違いなくこの現象は今後酷くなって行くであろう。

そう云えば昨年９月３０日、私の出身地隠岐の島は１時間に１００ミリを越す豪雨にあい、
激震災害の指定を受けたが未だその傷跡は癒えていない。

で、教訓。土地や家を買うときは、周囲の状況をよく観て、高台でも平地でも周囲と比べ低いところはダメ。川の近くは要注意。
溜池付近も要注意。道路の側溝より土地が低いとダメ、少なくとも３０センチは上がっていないと、等々。

A weather change. I traveled to Tokyo last week on Wednesday and Thursday for an industry meeting. When I came home late Thursday night, after a long day of bumming around without watching TV or the newspaper, my wife
Dad, I know it rained a lot yesterday…” “No, nothing. I didn’t even look at the newspaper…it was bad in Neyagawa.
However, our house was uneventful and we went to work the next day as usual. Then my wife called me around noon and said, “Father, it’s so hard… The neighborhood of my old house (moved in March of this year).
They had a hard time with the rain. In my house, it’s no big deal, but the neighbor’s and the one across the street are flooded under the floor.
I heard that Mr. XX from four houses next door had to be evacuated because the water flooded above the floor and reached the third level of his wardrobe. “What is that?” “So, your house…
I don’t think he can live here… Do you mind if I rent your house? I don’t mind at all, it would be nice if you could come in…　That’s why…
A house that had been vacant has become worth using.

By the way, I wonder how it’s been raining lately. A number of people were killed in flash floods caused by the partially torrential rain, but the neighboring town said, “It rained…
It’s like “-“. It’s turning into full subtropical weather. The cause is probably global warming caused by the destruction of the natural environment.
And no doubt this phenomenon will get worse in the future.

Speaking of which, on September 30th last year, my hometown of Oki Island was hit by heavy rainfall that exceeded 100 millimeters per hour.
It was designated as a catastrophic disaster, but its scars have yet to heal.

So, lesson learned. When buying land or a house, take a good look at your surroundings, and don’t go low compared to your surroundings, whether it’s high ground or flat ground. Be careful near the river.
Be careful around the tame pond. The land has to be lower than the roadside ditch, it has to be at least 30cm higher, etc.

８月１日、PLの花火大会に妻と二人で行ってきた。この暑いのに花火・・とは思ったが、個人宅に調理人を呼んで、
食べ放題飲み放題の可也贅沢な花火見物とのこと。ただ事前情報によると行き帰りの混雑は想像を絶するもので、
電車に乗るのに２時間近くは並ぶ覚悟がいると云う。小生、何が嫌いと云って、並ぶほど嫌いなものはない。
調理人付きの飲み放題食い放題にＰＬ花火と並ぶ事を対比させ、悩みに悩んだ。結果、エーイままよ・・、混雑しておれば何処かで時間を潰せば・
・・との思いで、参加を決定。

集合は５時、少し早めにと会社を３時半に出て一路「金剛」駅へ。何とスムーズなこと、１時間弱で金剛に付き、
お招き頂いた家に着いたのが４時４０分。５時から宴会開始、イタリア料理であったが中々の美味。ワイン片手に２時間ほど談笑していると花火、
ドーン、ドドーン！！、まっこと綺麗じゃのー、惜しげもなく次から次から、実に見事なものであった。

食と花火を堪能し、一路帰路へ。これがまた驚き。駅に着くや直ぐに特急電車が来る、ホームで座席指定を買い、
そのままゆったりシートで難波駅まで。日常の通勤電車より余ほどスムーズ、最高の花火見物であった。

これぞまさに日頃の行いのなせるわざか？

On August 1, my wife and I went to a fireworks display in PL. I thought it would be fireworks in this heat, but I had a cook over at a private home.
It is said that it is a rather luxurious fireworks viewing of all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. However, according to advance information, the congestion on the way to and from the hotel is unimaginable.
He said he was prepared to wait in line for nearly two hours to get on the train. I don’t know what I hate more than to stand in line.
Contrast the all-you-can-drink-with-chef, all-you-can-eat contrast with the PL fireworks and you’re in trouble. As it turns out, we’re still in the middle of a crowded area, so we can kill some time somewhere.
I decided to participate in this event.

The meeting was at 5:00 a.m. I left the office a little early and went to Kongo station at 3:30 a.m. How smooth it was. We got to Kongo in less than an hour.
We arrived at the house where we were invited at 4:40 p.m. The banquet started at 5:00 p.m. We had Italian food, but it was quite delicious. After two hours of chatting with a glass of wine, fireworks
Boom, boom, boom, boom! It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful one after the other without regret.

After enjoying the food and fireworks, we were on our way home. This is another surprise. As soon as you arrive at the station, the express train comes.
Continue to Namba station in a comfortable seat. It was much smoother than the daily commuter train and the best way to see the fireworks.

Is this exactly what we do every day?

7月25（金）・26（土）・27（日）の3日間、
財団法人天風会香里賛助会の夏期特別研修会（修練会）が開催された。

天風会行事の中で最も重要視されるのが盛夏の中で行われる、この特別研修会である。3日間、朝８時から夕方5時まで、
短パン一つで体操・実験・座禅・講義などみっちりと修養に勉めるのである。猛暑の中での3日間は可也きついものがある。
朝夕の体操の時間を除いた約６時間は畳の上での正座もしくは半跏趺坐で座っていなければならない。何よりもこれが大変である、
背筋をピンと伸ばし・・・午後からは睡魔との闘いである。処が何故か3日間の修養を終えると何ともいえない充足感に包まれる。
不思議なものである。

修養の内容は毎年同じ。入会して16年、毎年同じ研修を受けて来たが感じ方はその都度違う。
参加メンバーや講師の違いもあるが一番の違いは自分の心の態度であろう。その点今年は充実していた。
景気が悪く経済的には最悪の状況であるが故に、逆に気持ちは引き締まざるを得ないが為か・・・。

On July 25 (Friday), 26 (Saturday) and 27 (Sunday)
A special summer training session of the Tenpukai Kori Support Group was held.

The most important event of the event is the special training session held in the middle of the summer, which is held for three days from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
With only a pair of shorts, he would study gymnastics, experiments, zazen and lectures. Three days in the heat can be quite tough.
For about six hours, not including the morning and evening calisthenics, he must sit in the full or half-lotus position on the tatami. This is the hardest thing of all.
Straighten up your spine…you’ll be battling sleepiness in the afternoon. For some reason, when I finished my three-day retreat, I was filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment.
It is a curious thing.

The content of the retreat is the same every year. I’ve been a member for 16 years and I’ve received the same training every year, but the feeling is different each time.
There are some differences between the participants and the lecturers, but the biggest difference is probably the attitude of one’s heart. In that respect, this year was fulfilling.
This is because the economy is in a bad state and the economy is in the worst state, so we have to tighten up our spirits…

先々週突然田舎の前町長（現、隠岐観光?社長）から電話、「松谷さん、突然のお願いなんですが７月１８日のジェット機初飛行の搭乗者が余りにも少ないので何とか協力願えませんでしょうか・・、」、「また突然の話ですね・・」、「とにかく大阪へ行きますから、詳細はその時に・・」、と云う事で、隠岐観光の社長が翌々日来社。詳細は次の通り。
隠岐へのジェット機就航は７月１８日から８月末までの４０日間、期間限定による就航で、しかも搭乗率が８０％を切ると翌年は飛ばないと云う厳しいもの。
その為、８０％の搭乗者率確保は町を上げての至上命題である。ところが７月１９・２０・２１が連休で、この３日間は何とかなるが初便の１８日がいまのところ３０％の予約しかない。そこで急遽、「隠岐の観光大使に応援を・・」となった様である。
余りにも急な話。出郷者に里帰りを諭し、ジェット機利用をお願いして欲しいとの意向であったが、それは一寸。そこで、所属する船場ロータリークラブのメンバーに「私の故郷、隠岐へ」と声を掛けたところ、「一度行って見たいと思っていた・・・」と云う連中が直ぐに８名集まり、私を含む９名で急遽隠岐ツアー
を企画。１８・１９・２０日の２泊３日で隠岐ノ島へ行ってきた。

18日、隠岐空港着。今年の初便客を、幼稚園児が踊りで歓迎してくれた。

Two weeks ago, I got a phone call from the former mayor of a rural town (now the president of Oki tourism), who said, “Mr. Matsutani, can you please help us with the first flight of the jet on July 18? He said, “Mr. Matsutani, this is a sudden request, but the number of passengers for the first flight of the jet on July 18th is too small, could you please cooperate somehow? The details are as follows.
The flight to Oki is a limited period of 40 days from July 18 to the end of August, and if the boarding rate is less than 80%, the jet will not fly in the next year.
Therefore, securing an 80% passenger rate is a matter of utmost importance to the town as a whole. However, July 19, 20, and 21 are consecutive holidays, so we can manage these three days, but the first flight, on July 18, is only 30% reserved at the moment. That’s why they suddenly decided to “support the Oki tourism ambassador”.
It’s too sudden. It was his intention to encourage people from his hometown to return to their hometown and ask them to take a jet plane, but that’s not quite right. When I asked the members of the Funaba Rotary Club to go to Oki, my hometown, they said, “I’ve been wanting to go there once…,” and 8 people got together at once, and 9 people including me hurriedly went on an Oki tour.
We went to Oki-no-jima Island in 18, 19 and 20 days and nights.

先般、所属する天風会のゴルフコンペが、三木ゴルフ場で開催された。主催は、
財団法人天風会大阪賛助会。今年４月、
小生が代表を務める香里天風会も財団の賛助会となった為、大阪よりお誘いを受けた。
誘われれば断る訳に行かない、香里を代表して渋々ルンルン気分で参加。

開催３ケ月前に案内を受け、早速申し込んだが、以来何の連絡もなし。当日、三木ゴルフに着いたが、
やはり案内もなければコンペカウンターもなし。一般カウンターで受付を済ませたものの「もしかしたら中止か？、それとも日時間違いか？」。
初参加で、しかもメンバー表も組み合わせも貰っていないため、誰が参加するのかも判らない。一様ゴルフウエアーに着替え用意はしたが、
周囲を見まわしても知った顔は一人も居ない。、いったいどないなっているのか・・・不安は募るばかり？。

そこに救いの神、香里の指導をして下さっている南方先生がニコニコ顔で玄関から入って来た。
｢先生お早うございます！！」、やはり間違っていなかった・・、
心底ひと安心。

4組16名のコンペであったが既に何十回と重ねているコンペで、会場も三木ゴルフと決まっており、参加者は常連ばかり。従って、
極めて簡素化し幹事に負担が余り掛からない様にしている事が後でよくわかった。流石天風会員のゴルフ、合理的である。

コンペ結果。初参加は優勝なしと決まっており、２位を狙ったが惜しくも３位、ただ、ベスグロであった。優勝者は何とネット６２。
但し、ハンディー５２を持っていた。、これも驚きであったがもうひとつビックリしたのが表彰式。優勝から１２位まで賞があり、
表彰式後に賞の袋を全て回収、次回にまたその袋を使うらしい。合理的と云うか何と云うか・・、流石の天風先生も、天国で苦笑しているのでは。

満足いく成績でゴルフを終え、大阪賛助会のメンバーとも懇親を深め、ニコニコ気分で一路我が家へ。
三木東インターから高速に乗ろうと田舎道を走っていると、「千躰地蔵→　」
との看板が眼に入った、ムム・・千躰地蔵。
咄嗟にハンドルを右に切っていた。１分も走ったであろうか、何の変哲もない山すそに千躰地蔵。素朴この上ないような朽ちかけた地蔵さんと、
真新しい綺麗な地蔵さんが如何にも自由奔放に、勝手気ままに置かれている。その数が千躰を数えると云うのであろう・・・。
その地蔵さんに自然と手を合わせる。何となく幼児返りしたような素直な気持ちになれた。

Recently, the golf competition of the Tenpukai, to which I belong, was held at Miki Golf Course. Hosted by.
Tenpukai Osaka Supporting Foundation. This April.
The Kori Tenpukai, of which I am the representative, also became a supporting group of the foundation, and I was invited from Osaka.
If I was invited, I wouldn’t be able to say no, and on behalf of Kari, I reluctantly joined the event with a buzzing feeling.

I received an invitation three months ago and applied as soon as I could, but I haven’t heard from them since. On the day I arrived at Miki Golf, I
After all, there is no guide and no competition counter. Although I was accepted at the general counter, I wondered if it would be canceled. Or is it the wrong date and time? .
I don’t know who will be participating because it’s my first time and I haven’t been given a list of members or combinations. We’re all dressed in our golf gear and ready to go.
I looked around and didn’t see a single familiar face. I’m not sure what’s going on here…I’m just getting anxious.

The God of salvation, Mr. Minakata, who is giving guidance to Kari, came in through the door with a smiling face.
”Good morning to you, sir!” I was right…
I am relieved from the bottom of my heart.

There were 4 groups of 16 people and the venue was Miki Golf, and all the participants were regulars. Therefore, the
It was later found out that they had simplified it so that the burden would not be too much on the organizer. As expected, the golf of the member Tianfeng is very reasonable.

Competition Results. The first time he participated in the event, he was determined not to win, so he tried to win second place, but he came up short in third place, but only in Vesglo. The winner was a whopping 62 net.
However, he did have a handy 52. This was another surprise, but another surprise was the award ceremony. There were awards for first through 12th place.
Apparently all the award bags were collected after the award ceremony and the bags were used again for the next time. It’s reasonable, it’s reasonable, it’s what I would call it…, I think that Mr. Tenpou is laughing in heaven.

We finished the golf course with a satisfactory result, got to know the members of the Osaka Support Society, and went home with a smile on our faces.
When you get on the highway from Miki-Higashi Interchange, you will find “Sentai Jizo→” on a rural road.
I saw the sign “Sentai Jizo”.
A minute later, I saw Sentai Jizo on the slope of a nondescript mountain. The rustic and decaying Jizo-san and
A brand-new and beautiful Jizo-san was placed there with no restrictions on how it should be placed. It is likely to count a thousand of them.
We naturally put our hands together to this Jizo-san. Somehow, it made me feel like a reverted toddler, straightforward.
