Thanks for your mails. Today I woke up very early and cannot sleep again. Oh, it seems to be old enough to sleep well to me.
Regarding the last mail, no need to say sorry. If you have some ideas to be good team, you can talk with him.
I suppose interviewing everyone is his idea to get to know every staff. Good activity! Do not hesitate. It would be better to say directly to him what you have in mind.
To keep good relationship with someone you do not respect is a hard thing, I agree. When I were the case, I would do the same thing, talk with friends or colleagues.
When I would like to cool down, I relax and do what I like. Many times I had time to talk with Akae san and drink in Bangkok. In Japan less than before to drink with someone but this week I am going to have dinner every day!
Take care about your health.
I wish the situation would get better.
