2019 New Year Resolution

The last day in 2018 has come. Now I'm writing this blog entry in a McDonald's near my place. It may be the time to review my 2018 and going to jot down the new year's resolution 2019.

Review of 2018

Work

The first half of this year, I have been in a chaos of developing vFW(vSRX) service. I struggled against several bugs and PJ management along with developing GCP Inter-Connectivity, Azure Inter-Connectivity services. I had no idea the PJ management especially for Hypervisors delivery was such a tough... But anyway, I could launch 3 products, basically, I did well 😀

The second half, I joined the Baremetal dev team. My role is basically to manage VCF development project and to be a counterpart of a product team. They had a different software architecture from the AXIS and also a different way of thinking for operation. The latter was very interesting to me. (I may write another blog post for the difference when I have time)

It was disappointing that I couldn't take control of VCF project well because I didn't have enough knowledge of VMware.

And, I had more opportunities to take a "kind of" management role in various situations than last year. I may have to lay more weight on it next year but I have no idea what is my weak point and how to improve management skill at this moment.

Private

  • My daughter became 2 years old and started to attend a nursery school 🎉
  • Family trip to Fuji with my family, my parents, and families of my siblings
  • No music activity 😩
  • Started to going to Gym from July 💪

My daughter has been fortunately growing up without any big problems. She started to speak something and I became to be able to figure out what she wanted to say. I think this and next year would be the cutest period of time in her life so I definitely have to give priority to have time with her than work.

I regret that we couldn't travel only with my family. I think we have a long holiday in May next year so I'd like to plan some.

I also regret that I couldn't go to the gym enough. I have planned to go to the gym twice a week but I think I couldn't (I don't have a record)
