Can't Move Bureaus Well!
He was not strong enough to carry heavy furniture.
The company could not hire enough workers because young people did not like such a job.
So, the man always had to work with few workers, and also had to move large furniture by himself.
The man was so frustrated with his job that he wrote about his troubles on his blogs.
One day he wrote, "Can't move bureaus well!" Another day he wrote, "Want to carry chests efficiently!"
After working at the company for a year, the man silently disappeared from the company without saying anything to his manager.
One of employees informed the manager that he had found a blog on the internet which seemed to had been written by the man who disappeared.

ある時、引っ越し会社での仕事に難儀する男がいた。
彼は、重い家具を運べるだけの体力が無かった。
その会社は、十分な人数の労働者を雇うことが出来ないでいた。若者達がその様な仕事を好まなかったからである。
そう言う訳で、男はいつも少ない人手の中で働かなければならず、大型家具も一人で運ばざるを得なかった。
男は、仕事での苛苛が溜まり、自分のブログにトラブルについて書いた。
ある日、彼は、この様に書いた。「箪笥は、うまく運べない！」
そして別の日には、こう書いた。「箪笥を、うまく運びたい！」
その会社で働き始めてから一年後、男は上司に何も言わないで、静かに会社から姿を消した。
社員の一人が、マネージャーに、居なくなった男の書いたものらしいブログを、ネット上で見つけたと知らせてきた。
マネージャーは、そのブログの最後の一文を、読み上げた。「一人きりでは、箪笥は、うまく運べない！」
