昨日はhiroroが仕事で別行動をしている間、久々に学生時代のバイト仲間に会いました。学生時代の四年間、私は都内の大型書店でバイトをしていました。きっかけは好きな本が割引価格で購入できるのと新刊がいち早く立ち読みできるという単純な理由からでした。しかし、バイト先もお堅い書店だったので一緒に働いていた仲間も結構真面目でまともな学生が多かったような気はします。久々に会う仲間はすっかり主婦をしていましたが、やはり話し始めると不思議とあの頃に戻ります。喫茶店で話をした後、私がアニマルセラピーや社会心理学に関する書籍を探したかったこともあり、二人で懐かしいバイト先へ。求人の張り紙を見て、求人の値段が昔より125円も上がったな!と二人で大苦笑!しました。無事に書籍も購入でき、大満足!そして私が書籍を購入する時に「うちらもこの子達みたいな事をしてたんやね」と言いながら、二人でまた苦笑!思い出を苦笑しながらも楽しい再会でした。今月はまだまだ再会シリーズが続きます。次回は先日ネットを通じて再会した幼馴染み、その次は仕事の師匠である、昔の職場の女性ボス。今から楽しみです。

Yesterday evening, while hiroro was off to his business meeting, I had a little reunion with my old friend. She and I used to work together when we were in college. During my 4 years in college, I had a part-time job at one of the big bookstores in Tokyo. I decided to go out for this job for 2 simple reasons. One was that I loved books very much and I heard that I can get some dicount if I worked there. The other reason was that I would be able to read the latest books first in the store. And because the bookstore had a strict atmosphere, the college students who worked there had serious attitudes and were relatively normal,too. My friend that I met was already married and a housewife. But when we start talking, nothing much had changed and it brings us back to our days working together. After we talked over cups of coffee, we decided to stop by at the bookstore where we both used to work because I also wanted to look for some books on animal therapy and social psychology. We found an employment ad by the bookstore. We both laughed bitterly that a college part-timer's wage had been raised ¥125 than when we were working. Anyways, I was very satisfied to be able to find and buy my books. When I was buying my books, we both looked at each other again and laughed bitterly at what we,too had been doing as a part-timer at the bookstore. We probably used to look like these girls,too. Although we had laughed bitterly alot, we enjoyed our reunion. This month, there are more reunions to come! I'm looking forward to my reunion with my childhood friend that I reunited recently through the net and my ex-boss, who had been my mentor in the world of business from a woman's point of view. I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
