Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The last day of the three-day weekend.
I'm working my butt off—how are you all doing?
This is a story from last weekend when I was out for drinks with some people (healthcare professionals in management and IT executives).
They say that the type of cancer a person develops is related to their personality.
You might be thinking, “Huh?” but,
It seems that a person’s personality can influence which parts of the body are more likely to develop cancer.
Personality Traits of Cancer Patients
Stomach Cancer: Meticulous, neat, nervous, and reliable individuals
Head and Neck Cancer: People who are mischievous, energetic, unruly, and noisy
Breast Cancer: Fair-skinned, delicate, and demure women
That was the gist of it.
This is merely a trend. It is not an absolute fact.
And, of course, this is purely my personal opinion.
In fact, my father died of head and neck cancer (laryngeal cancer).
Personality-wise, he used to be a bit of a troublemaker and wouldn't listen to anyone.
In the end, he passed away saying, “I’d rather die than quit smoking and drinking,” lol.
That's just the kind of way my dad would go, lol.
From a professional's perspective, that's the general trend.
Even for us slope engineers, there are different trends depending on the mountain, right?
For example, the mountains in the ○○ area of ○○ Prefecture are super hard, or the casing gets damaged really quickly.
There are cases where you can't build a legal framework without surface treatment, right?
With ground anchor work and the like, there are often various issues during the first week or so.
Machine malfunctions can occur when spray application begins on slopes as well.
This is another trend.
If you can recognize such trends when you start working on-site (or even before you start), you’ll be able to take appropriate measures.
As long as you're prepared in advance, there's no need to panic.
Once you arrive at the scene, assess the overall and local conditions to get a sense of the situation there.
The key to keeping things running smoothly on site is to quickly identify trends.
If you try looking at the site a little differently starting tomorrow, you'll start to notice all sorts of things.
Work isn't just about doing what you can see. (It's about imagining.)
There's something even in the parts you can't see. (Dangers included.)
Let's get a feel for the trends!
See you later.
