ジャスティン、

プロジェクトZに関してそちらはどうですか?こちらはスケジュールに遅れが出ないようにするだけで必死です。

ローンチ日が延期になる可能性はどのくらいあると思いますか?1ヶ月程度延期されると見ていいと思いますか?

延期を期待してはならないのはわかっているのですが、誰か他に期限が現実的でないと思っている人がいれば嬉しいな、と思いました。どう思うか教えてください。

Hello everyone, welcome to E-mail Picks. How are things going for you? Because for me,

0:00:09.960,0:00:14.340
it's not so good. These days, several
departments in our company are working

0:00:14.340,0:00:19.560
on this project to... to launch a new
product. But the schedule is just too

0:00:19.560,0:00:24.720
tight. Many departments are saying that
their part is delayed and it looks

0:00:24.720,0:00:29.820
like it makes sense for the deadline to
be postponed by another month. I'm hoping

0:00:29.820,0:00:33.960
the deadline will be put off too,
because I've been working many hours

0:00:33.960,0:00:38.850
overtime every night to get things done,
and at this rate, I don't think I'll be

0:00:38.850,0:00:44.070
able to maintain my mental health. So
today, I want to ask my colleague Justin,

0:00:44.070,0:00:48.629
who is also part of the same project,
whether he thinks his team will be able

0:00:48.629,0:00:53.550
to make it in time. I'm hoping to hear
bad news from him so that I won't feel

0:00:53.550,0:00:59.309
too bad about starting to not care about
meeting the deadline. So he goes. Hi

0:00:59.309,0:01:03.840
Justin, How's your team doing with
project Z? Over here, I'm struggling to

0:01:03.840,0:01:07.380
keep up with the schedule. What do you
think the odds are that the launch will

0:01:07.380,0:01:11.010
be delayed? Do you think it's reasonable
to assume that the project will be put

0:01:11.010,0:01:15.689
off by around a month? I know I shouldn't
get my hopes up on this but it will make

0:01:15.689,0:01:19.470
me feel better if I find another person
who thinks the deadline is unrealistic.

0:01:19.470,0:01:25.009
Let me know what you think,
Kyota. OK, so look at this negativity!

0:01:25.009,0:01:30.030
Anyway, I opened with a question and an
update on how I'm doing with the project.

0:01:30.030,0:01:35.670
Not so good. And then I asked Justin
whether he predicts that the deadline

0:01:35.670,0:01:40.590
will be postponed or not. I used the
phrases "What do you think the odds are"

0:01:40.590,0:01:45.750
and "Do you think it's reasonable to
assume that..." OK, and finally, I

0:01:45.750,0:01:50.399
communicated my intent for writing this
e-mail. It's not to ask Justin to do a

0:01:50.399,0:01:54.720
certain task or anything. It's to ask for
his opinion. That's all. So there you go,

0:01:54.720,0:01:59.640
an e-mail to ask a colleague for his
opinion about a project. I'm still really

0:01:59.640,0:02:05.310
busy ,but I'm starting to realize that I
only have a handful of tasks left, so my

0:02:05.310,0:02:09.840
motivation is coming back up. Alright so
anyway, thank you for watching. That's it

0:02:09.840,0:02:12.180
for today. I'll see you next week.
