My Work

I work for a famous Japanese company which manufactures electric appratuses. Actually, I am not a member of that company, but my company sends me there and makes me sit for twelve hours or more per day to make a help file of the software which our section has been developing since the last October. The software is used for making settings of a motion controller CPU. A motion controller CPU controls many servo motors which become power sources for moving conveyors, robot's arms, elevators, or any movenments in mechanical systems. A software's help file must cover all basic setting procedures. I have to capture picures of each setting everytime the software is changed for upgrading, downgrading, or any change in procedure and appearance. I wake up at 6:45a.m. and get a 7:14 train and begin to work at 8:30 and finish at 21:45. The time when I arrives home is around 23:00. At the end of April, the software must be released to the predetermined market. To meet the deadline, most of us work on saturdays. Well, I remember I was hired as a translator. However, Japanese companies do not make a contract that restricts workers' duties.
