Just Wednesday is gone now this week. I am working on the abstract and presentation of my talks. I will have 5 or so presentations in Japan, Australia, and Taiwan. I am not focused these days. I think I just need to finish one by one. I found several mistakes on the paper and my co-author noticed so I will update the information. But I feel I am stupid. I don’t like that. But the good thing is the mistake has been found and I can correct it. The final goal is writing a good paper without mistakes. I will do my best to finish this paper. Now I am feeling I need to spend more time on this paper and another paper as possible during this lockdown. I have several papers I also want to work on but I should focus on otherwise I can’t finish anything. So focus on the paper writing during lockdown time.
The lockdown seems to go at least mid-October here in NSW. Unfortunately. Our institute has one COVID-19 case and he/she was in the building I work for. Of course, I didn’t go there so it should be fine, but I feel I can’t go back to the office until I get vaccinated. My vaccine will come in late September and mid-October. Hope I can finish many jobs before then. But as I wrote, there are a lot of presentations so I might not have time so September and October are important times to write.
I should stick to my professional work on physics. Now we change the arrangement of desk for working from home. I am happy with this arrangement, I can work better now.
Tonight, I would like to apply for IPO with priority right. I have never done IPO before and by looking at the company’s prospectus, I don’t see any reason the share goes up so high since they are a company just established. By looking for the company’s financial statements, there is nothing there. So if they go IPO with $0.2/share, it looks like $0.16-0.17/share. Because they are exploring a company before they find something, the price is as it is. But I feel this is a good time to learn something like this. I don’t know how many times in my life I can have the priority right for the IPO, so let’s give it a shot. Hope I can experience I have never. I might lose money but hope it should be fine.
Nothing else is happening. I start thinking about how we end this year. I need to spend the leaves I didn’t use but I don’t feel like it because I can’t go anywhere. Unfortunately, I can’t find something I want to do because I am at home all the time.
By the way, I just saw Japan’s vaccination late reach 60% (as long as I see if they exclude the younger than 12 years old, the number is about 10% higher) for 1st dose. I feel they are slow compared to NSW, one reason is, of course, they have a lot more people there but still, it looks they are slow. But the rate is steadily going up so that it good. The stock price of the Tokyo market remarkably well since PM Suga declared he was not going to up for election for leader of the ruling party. Maybe I need to find out how to vote for it. In the next few months, I might write about some politics in Japan.
