久しぶりの忘年会｜Year-End Party

取引先の忘年会に参加させてもらった。３年ぶりでみんな楽しそうだ。若い頃はこういう定例の会は面倒だなと思っていたが、最近とても大切な場だなと感じる。「初めまして」から始まり、お互いの仕事や趣味の話をしながら共通点を見出してゆく。その中には自分の仕事で課題になっていることのヒントが隠されていたり、新しいネットワークが生まれたりする。今はオンラインや効率的な会議が大切とされている中、忘年会や新年会ってムダと思われることもある。しかしその意義をしっかりと認識していればとても有効で効率的な場になると思いながら飲みすぎた。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I participated in the year-end party of a business partner. It's been 3 years and everyone seems to be having a good time. When I was young, I thought that regular parties like this were troublesome, but recently I feel that they are very important. Beginning with "Nice to meet you", we find common points while talking about each other's work and hobbies. Among them, there are hidden hints about the issues in my work, and new networks are born. While online and efficient meetings are now considered important, year-end parties and New Year's parties are sometimes thought to be wasteful. However, I drank too much, thinking that it would be a very effective and efficient chance if I firmly recognized its significance. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
