It was cloudy and became rain and rather cold.

There was a meeting, and I knew how to read the pay slip before signing the 36 agreement which defines about overwork.  

Japan's Labor Standards Act sets hard limits on working hours: 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. The maximum overtime hours are daily 4 hours/day, monthly 45 hours/month, and annually 360 hours/year. However, if there is an agreement, they are extended.

I have already worked twice more than 45 hours/month during past 6 months.

My salary includes 30 hours deemed overtime. So, when I did the math, it ends up being cheaper per hour than a temp worker.  Therefore, I got shocked about the salary of my overwork.

Time is very important. Every day I needed to overwork.  When the busiest time, I came home by the last train for a week.

I want to change this situation somehow.

It was fine.

Today is a National Holiday called "Culture Day."

I stayed at home all day long, washed summer clothes, cooked dinner, and watched a drama by NHK one and on TV. 

I booked a guest house room in Hiroshima for one night finally. I have thought of travel plans of this month.

I have just published the 225th eBook. This is a collection of sunlight pictures I took in October. In September it rained every day and it was difficult to take sunlight pictures.  However, in October I traveled and visited some shrines and temples and beautiful nature places, therefore I got many beautiful pictures. I hope you enjoy.

It was cloudy and became rainy.

There were many things to do, and I overworked until 21:00 and came home around 22:45.

To my glad my 224th eBook has been No.1 in the USA and Japan.

I finished reading an eBook written by my friend who has travel around the world by business class ticket.

There is something wrong with Internet.
