Episode 89 It’s okay as long as it’s not me
Windowless server room
Even though the sun wasn’t shining.
Still, fall came.
On this representative’s face.
The leaves are turning a riot of color.
“Are you kidding me? You say you didn’t even know the cause of the problem until now? It’s been two months. Two months!”
Representative Lee pointing his finger in all directions.
The representative’s face is covered in autumn leaves.
Soon, the employees’ faces also turned yellow.
Before I knew it, a faint banking scent was spreading through the operations room.
therefore.
The smell of shit was vibrating.
You must not step on this.
Because of my long experience, I felt it instinctively.
‘I guess I’ll have to sneak out depending on the situation.’
Because it was obvious that if I stayed in this position, I would get involved in tiring work.
I was taking a quick look around and timing it.
To avoid that situation, I pretended to go to the bathroom and quietly turned my back.
“Does it make sense that no one knew that Youngjun was searching on his own?”
Unfortunately, I was the one who got the kick out of it. I heard my name called behind me.
“Everyone, wake up. An outsider can find out an issue in one day. Really? Do you think it makes sense that they didn’t even know there was a problem?”
Then, the representative pointed at me with his palm. To be exact, he pointed at my back.
He slowly turns his back and looks at his employees as if nothing happened.
Just as rice bends its head as it ripens.
Dozens of employees all had their heads bowed.
This fall has been a very bountiful harvest.
Honestly, it’s not my fault.
still.
Because I stirred up the mess.
We bowed our heads together, trying to look as apologetic as we could.
“Especially the network team! The development team! Find the exact cause and finish it up yourself!”
Bang. Bang. Representative Lee lightly knocks on the desk.
Just when I thought it was going to end like that.
“And if they think they have a problem, they should have helped out when other teams came out on the weekend to test. Isn’t that right? If we say it’s not our job, will the problem go away? Right?”
The representative’s voice grew louder again. The stale air in the operating room grew heavier.
“Why am I here listening to this?”
I’ll just forward it to you by email.
But I thought it was polite to talk to someone face to face, so I ended up just getting nagged.
The representative is angry, but I can’t even hear what he’s saying.
I just stare blankly at the CEO’s smiling face, thinking that I just want to go home quickly.
**
After this representative returned.
A place where a typhoon once swept through.
Sighs are heard everywhere.
The atmosphere became heavier.
I feel like I’ll get hit too if I stay here.
Let’s cool our heads for a moment.
I came out to the break room with Manager Chae.
“It’s very gruesome.”
“That’s why. The national team was very angry.”
Manager Chae talks as if it were someone else’s business.
Well, actually, it’s none of your business.
We were both bowing our heads earlier.
“Anyway, I am free now.”
It had nothing to do with Manager Chae.
After all, the ones who were getting scolded were the network team and the server team.
“And they’ll both say it’s not their fault.”
“Of course. Now World War II has begun.”
I found myself smiling bitterly at Manager Chae’s words.
The cloud team and server team were found not guilty.
So now it’s the network team and the development team’s turn.
‘This is largely my fault.’
Of all things.
Because I nominated two departments at the same time.
The two sides ended up fighting, making excuses.
Really.
If possible, I would like to find the exact cause.
But I knew nothing about networks.
I think the development side could find the problem if they were given permission.
‘The developers’ pride won’t let me touch their apps.’
For that reason, there was nothing I could do.
I ended up unintentionally setting up a fight and ended up getting left behind.
Although Manager Chae felt good because his workload had been reduced, I couldn’t just smile.
I was looking at Manager Chae with such an uneasy feeling.
at that time.
Knock knock.
The break room door opened and Manager Jang came in.
“Oh? You’re here. I was just looking for Youngjun.”
“Me?”
“Yes. The CEO… Ah. No. First of all, I should say thank you very much. Really. Thanks to Youngjun, I was able to catch my breath.”
Manager Jang bowed his head slightly.
Perhaps because he had been going through a lot, his expression looked much better than yesterday.
“No. We all suffered together.”
“is it so.
Manager Chae supports me.
“That’s right. Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chae.”
“Manager Jang too. I was wondering when it would end, and it’s finally over.”
They look at each other with relieved expressions.
In fact, strictly speaking, we haven’t even found the cause yet.
I couldn’t even solve the problem.
But that is only the company’s position.
No, they are not.
“Anyway, the network team and the development team need to try it out too.”
“That’s right. Just because we showed symptoms on our side. We suffered like crazy. In the end, it was their fault.”
Manager Jang and Manager Chae are giving and receiving.
The two of them go together well.
People who were criticizing each other just yesterday.
You seem to be getting along really well today.
The world we live in is like this. Well, there are no enemies or allies. It’s the same in any organization. When there was no work, the atmosphere in the office was good.
The two continued their warm conversation for a while.
suddenly.
Manager Jang turns his head and looks at me as if he remembered something.
“Right. Youngjun.”
“yes?”
“How did you see all those charts in one day?”
At those words, Manager Chae also asked me as if he was curious.
“That’s right. What? Is there a secret to analyzing charts?”
“I got it. I was lucky.”
“Hey. You always say that, sir.”
“It’s true. We’ve done a lot of performance tests before. We found it because of that experience. When I looked at the graph, it clicked.”
“Yes? But why didn’t I get the feeling?”
“At that time, Manager Chae was busy preparing for the test. So, I always did the analysis.”
Manager Chae nodded in agreement with what I said. In fact, we actually divided up our roles and worked together.
Neither of them were our jobs. Since there were no people, we just divided up the roles like that because we each did what we were good at.
I remember the days when I was struggling with Manager Chae after a long time.
“We really had a hard time back then. Do you remember, Director?”
“Even if you want to forget, you can’t. You lived in the operations office right before it opened.”
As I was thinking about it, the story about my former company continued.
As the two of us were talking, Manager Jang was about to get up.
At that moment.
He turned his head again and looked at me.
“Oh! That’s right. I’m out of my mind. I came to find the director because the CEO said he was looking for him. I forgot.”
“Me?”
“Yes. If you go up to the representative office now, he will be there.”
And then he smiled and went out of the break room.
This is the representative.
to be honest.
It’s a bit awkward to meet you.
Well. But I guess I should at least see your face.
With that thought in mind, I got up from my seat.
**
The representative scratches his head.
He looks at me as if he feels embarrassed about losing his temper in the server operations room earlier.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you look so ugly again today.”
“No. I feel more sorry because I feel like I may have caused a big problem for no reason.”
“That’s understandable. You did a good job. There was no one to take charge. The data center wasn’t being managed well. It seemed like there was no collaboration at all. I’m going to take this opportunity to fix things.”
The data center manager position is vacant.
Because when there is no one in charge, employees become passive.
So it seemed like the representative was intentionally getting angrier.
“Every time something like this happens, I feel really sorry for Youngjun.”
“I’m good at fixing products, but I don’t know how to fix people.”
The representative laughed and shook his head at my answer.
Let’s just briefly talk a few more words about this matter.
This representative suddenly.
“Do you play golf?”
Let’s talk about golf.
I tilted my head without realizing it and answered.
“No, I’ve never done it before.”
“Then when will we go to the field together? Golf. Once you get into it, you won’t be able to get out.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m just feeling better.”
I politely declined with a smile.
I had no desire to play golf.
Going with this representative was even more unpleasant.
Well. I’ll do it anyway.
I just didn’t want to do it.
Representative Lee smacked his lips as if he was disappointed with my answer.
I don’t really know what their intentions are.
I should meet this manager later and ask him about it.
Thinking that way, I smiled brightly on the outside.
We met a few times.
This representative’s fake smile is becoming more and more similar.
**
Over a long period of time.
I was back to normal in just one day.
I went back to the gym.
Although in reality only one day had passed.
Because my body had been in the room for over a week.
Gasp. Gasp.
The old routine was completely broken.
Just as I was out of breath when I first came.
Lean into the music.
I’m walking in place on the treadmill.
Still, it’s a lot better than before.
Especially.
Unlike before.
I didn’t hate the feeling of sweating.
As I exercised, I felt like my stress was somewhat relieved.
And I started showering every day.
Anyway.
My daily life was becoming more and more normal.
I wish I could stop being interrupted by this regular life.
While I was thinking like that, I was moving my feet busily.
-Jiing. Jiing.
There was a vibration. I had the earphones in my ears and heard a ringtone from the earphones.
The LCD is immediately pushed to the side.
Seongtae’s voice was heard through the earphones.
“Hey. Practice is tomorrow. Did you hear that?”
“Oh. I know.”
“You must come tomorrow.”
“Okay. Hang up. I’m working out.”
“Exercise? What kind of exercise? Breathing exercise?”
Seongtae asks me seriously.
It’s not sarcastic at all.
“It’s the gym. The gym. Call me back later.”
“you are?”
“What about me?”
“You work out?”
Then, soon after, a laughter was heard from the other end of the phone.
Seongtae laughing so hard he feels like he’s out of breath.
After taking out one earbud because it was so noisy.
“Hey, be quiet. If you have nothing more to say, hang up. Inma.”
I pressed the end button without listening to the answer.
I said I was exercising for nothing.
I’m going to be laughed at when I see you tomorrow.
Because the band kids were thinking of making fun of me.
I was already dizzy.

benefit.
We gathered in the practice room for our first charity concert.
It is a type of street performance that is held to raise funds.
It was my first time performing completely outdoors, without a stage.
We gathered in the practice room to talk to each other.
That’s what it was.
“I’ll give up in a week. 30,000 won.”
“I also earn 50,000 won a week.”
As it turns out, a betting table is set up.
I looked at Seongtae in disbelief.
“It’s already been a week since you left, Inma.”
Let’s look at me like I’m pathetic.
This time, Chang-seok gets involved.
“Then I get a month and a half. 43,000 won.”
“Cut it off in five-thousand-won increments, you accountant.”
“I just called the most reasonable amount.”
It’s a total mess.
The instrument takes a backseat.
He was just making weird noises.
“Hey, let’s practice. We also need to make plans for the outdoor performance.”
I tried to calm the situation down by waving both hands.
“Ah. So this is what they call muscle.”
This time, Guk-young lets out an exclamation and taps my arm.
Kids don’t change as they get older.
Kids are kids no matter how much time passes.
Maybe when we are over eighty, we will still be like this even after going to each other’s funerals.
Suddenly, a terrible thought occurred to me.
