ライブ会場めぐり! Event space hunting...

(English below)

今からLo-Fiのリハ!
ちょうどミーティングから戻ってきた。



帰りはガソリン入れに寄ったスタンドにいいエンジンの音が聴けてラッキー!♪

今日は朝起きてからあるバンドの指揮をとっている方とメールで打ち合わせ!昨日の夜からお叱りを受けていて、色々とメールなどをした。

最終的には仕事を続けられる事にはなったが、考え深い事は沢山あった。

一つは前にも少し書いたコミュニケーションについてかな。人は体全体で気持ちを表現していて、それを感じるときはその感覚をもっと信じようと思った。何か違和感がある時はきっと問題もあるのだと思う。

次は文化的枠組みなどから生じる記号的な意味合いの解釈によるズレが混乱や誤解を生み出すという事。つまり、ある行動、例えば"頭を下げる事"が意味する事が共通認識があると同様に、あいづちの意味が文化によって異なったり、様々だ。

事前に特定文化の事象解釈を明確に理解していれば文化の通訳として、誤解を生み出す行動の事前説明や回避が可能だけど、気づかないと、後の祭りになってしまう。

また、忙しい気持ちになると知らず知らず丁重さがかけて行く人との接し方も問題を生み出すのだとおもった。

心の余裕があると優しさも生まれ、余裕を持つためにはいかなる状況でも優しさが大切だと思った。

もっと強くなって優しさにあふれる人間になれたら、より多くの周りの人に幸せが広げられるかもしれない。

I just got back from a long search of music venues in Tokyo for a fashion related event I'm help planning with some designer brands.
On my way back I was lucky enough to hear a good engine sound at the gasoline stand…!
Anyway this morning I was busy communicating with a band manager that I've recently started working with.
We've been discussing about these matters since last night. …back and forth until about noon today, so there was a lot said.
I guess I frustrated her so much that she couldn't stand it anymore. In the end I still had my gig, but reflected on a few different things I learned from this incident.
First,  that body language and your intuition they don't lie. If you feel something is up, something usually is. I don't think it's a good idea to just brush off that idea because your subconscious can do a lot more processing than we realize.
Next, that not understanding a certain culture's symbolic meanings and implications for certain actions or phrase combinations can create a lot of unwanted trouble. If you understand what certain actions can trigger in certain situations you can prevent that, but when you don't realize the outcome of actions that are "normal" to you…. well… Let's just say your dancing into a minefield without realizing it.
No matter how accustomed you get to certain groups or cultures, there are always things that you still don't understand or might overlook. I guess I need to focus harder on imagining how others might perceive certain actions or words considering their background and knowledge/experience.
Finally, it happens to all of us, but when you start feeling your busy… you start acting like your busy.
No one likes someone who is tired out of their mind or in a rush.
I hope to get more skills and better organize my day so that I don't feel so busy no matter how much pressure I'm under.
This is probably the best way to help make more people around me happier!
