jgey的單身日記
隨便寫寫...
正文
最近事情很多，我很懶，所以總是簡要的“追憶”。
上周四和LB的第二次麵試，對方是個很年輕的男生，非常可愛，to work with this cute guy, its just another attractive point of this position. Later I talked with Marc about the interview, it turned out that the guy is one of Marc's close friends in LB. 一直沒有得到關於第二次麵試的回複，我幾乎想讓Marc幫我打聽“小道兒消息”，後來又覺得，不應該把太多私人的因素帶進這種professional working environment，於是，隻好繼續“死等”。
周末一直在家裏睡覺，周日晚上12點多，Dave打電話來，爛醉，我知道他去參加一個朋友的婚禮，但不知道他為什麽喝那麽多，我一直覺得，the only wedding you need to get drunk is your own one, LOL. Dave困在一個“鳥不拉屎”的偏僻車站，問我怎麽坐車才能到我家來，我覺得我都快成他的專業導航，每次迷路都會打電話來問我。風雨交加，我到樓下去接他，害我感冒，他醉得滿嘴胡言亂語，象teenager。我越來越覺得，我和Dave之間的關係很奇妙，很少怦然心動的異性吸引的感覺，更多是舒服的同類人的相處，這樣比我想象的還要好。
周一晚上和軼見麵，她又“曠工”。軼最近的身體狀況很糟，她的腰痛越來越厲害，不得不靠打止痛針和吃止痛藥，去醫院看了很多次，有醫生曾建議她做脊椎手術，但她最終還是選擇繼續保守治療。因此，我們最近很少有機會見麵。一起吃晚飯，話題主要集中於她的回國打算和我的job hunting，都很“沉痛”。我的感冒終於發展到發燒，軼每天隨身帶很多止痛藥，都有止熱的成分，我吃了2片，然後各自早早回家。
軼的止痛藥很強力，我回家洗澡後，不僅燒退了，而且格外的精神，根本不想睡覺。於是看下載的電影，[office space], its brilliant! 非常有意思的電影，關於一個IT guy厭倦他的工作的故事，這大概是我最近看過的最有共鳴的電影，I feel exactly the same as the guy does, --"human beings are not supposed to be sitting in cubes, and staring at computers for the whole day..." EXACTLY!!! 最喜歡那段，他們3個人離開公司後，把那台該死的打印機偷出來，smashed it, 淋漓盡致的痛快，well, for me, the only one thing that I wanna smash is my boss, actually ex-boss, that fucking idiot. 還有，女主角在她令人討厭的boss又一次嘮叨"do you wanna express yourself"，她對著boss比中指，"see, this is how I express myself, I hate this job!" Well, most people hate their jobs and bosses, when "not to be fired" becomes the only motivation to work, its really meaningless to keep doing it. And the guy said, "why I cant just have a job and feel happy like everybody else..." that is a very good question, I have been asking myself the same question for long. I thought I could figure out something during this break, but it seems I am still quite confused, and not sure if I would feel happy for the next job.
周二睡了一整天，傍晚Marc發短信來，說他和朋友一起喝酒，問我去不去，我當然去，都睡夠了。一共4個人，Marc, Robert, Yusuke and me。Marc, british, 27, in the dilemma of taking a job in HK which is not related with banking, or staying in banking field in Tokyo; Robert, chinese american, 27, lives in NYC, but loves Tokyo and asian girls, looking for a relationship instead of becoming a workaholic; Yusuke, japanese, 33, trader, workaholic, not married, no gfs, with a lot presure from work; me, chinese, 27, drama queen, unemployed, full of confusion. 這樣的4個人一起喝酒，吃晚飯，他們3個都是在LB最初的training期間認識的，Robert和Yusuke見麵時的問候很有意思，
Robert: "are you married?"
Yusuke: "nope."
Robert: "girlfriend?"
Yusuke: "nope...you? married? gf?"
Robert: "nope."
好像中國人一見麵問“吃了沒有”一樣，“married or not”也成了一種common問候。
懶得寫了，周三，had an interview, which was cool. But I hate raining, got stuck in the building cos of rain. No feedback from LB yet. 去取cleaning的鞋子，對效果很不滿意，修補顏色的人難道是色盲嗎？看起來比修補前的樣子還要糟，店員看出我很不爽，說可以重新修補，直到我滿意為止，無可奈何，隻好再等幾天，看他們能否讓我滿意。回來的時候又被雨淋，真倒黴，該死的天氣。到家後，發現電話上有留言，是另一家recruiting company, the recruiter said GS would like to meet me for interview next week, its good news, finally. 山重水複疑無路，柳暗花明又一村，大概就是這種意境吧。
In the movie [SWAT], there is a girl, well a cop, she has applied for SWAT team a few times, but never worked out, then when she got questioned about that, she said, "I just enjoy applying". That is one of the coolest lines I have ever heard, I think I have much more fun in job hunting than having a job. Go to all different companies, talk with a lot people, make them like me, and think I am the perfect one for their positions, the process of pursuiting just excites me a lot. I think I am very good at "to get", but quite bad at "to keep", its the same thing for my personal life, I enjoy dating all the time, but have difficulty on committing to a relationship.

Or do freelance for a while, don't commmit to a fulltime job for now, and take some classes in fields you're interested in to see if there are other options for a career.
Have you thought about becoming an interpreter? There are schools in China and US for these, and they pay really well, with flexible schedules and lots of traveling.
You obviously enjoy the chase, either doing the chasing or to be chased, in relationship or otherwise, you should move to the African Safari.
