4/1 星期日

接著寫周五。

中午和已轉職的前輩一起吃午飯，很愉快，得到不少麵試的tips。然後順路把鞋子拿去修理清洗，竟然要6000塊，真是搶錢，不過那雙鞋值6萬塊，總比重新買一雙要便宜，於是，忍痛掏錢。和Jeff約定的時間已經過了1小時，出租車慢得要命，因為是周五，天氣又好，好像全東京的車都堵在去表參道的路上。司機也不想再繼續堵在那條路上，於是走小巷，拐來拐去，終於到了，Jeff已經等了我近1個小時，我連聲道歉。把Jeff帶到AVENDA咖啡，Rina在那裏也等了近1個小時，我真的不是個稱職的matchmaker，anyway，他們終於見麵了，而且看起來，they like each other, my mission is completed. Dave正好在附近，於是也過來一起喝咖啡，他晚上要和一些朋友出去玩，而我，必須乖乖回家，因為9點有一個phone interview from a company's NY office, its friday nite! damn!

9點，終於等到電話，我聽到對方的第一句話的瞬間，“damn! its an indian!” Well, I am not against indians at all, actually I used to have some indian coworkers who are very friendly and nice people, I like them. But the thing is, I am quite nervous about this phone interview, after all, its not like talking in person, and recruiters told me they gonna ask some questions on technical skills which I am not very confident about. Now, plus this tough indian accent, its just getting worse and worse. The connection was not that great either, I wasnt sure if they could hear me well, and for a few questions, I totally had no clues, its a disaster. The indian guy didnt sound very happy, I guess I just screwed up this interview. I told my recruiter that I was afraid that I wasnt qualified for this position, cos they want someone with 4 years experiences and skills on all the fields, TCP/IP, Java, firewall...sounds like a superman, LOL!

下周還有3個interview，希望不會搞砸，至少應該比這個要命的phone interview好一些。

Chatted with Dave for a while on Sat nite, I slept for the whole day. It seems he had quite a lot fun with his buddies on friday nite, when he told me about some cute girls in 911, I was kinda pissed off, and trying hard not to show it in my lines. Its weird, I am not supposed to feel anything, but I was, at the moment, its not a good start. To be rational, Dave is not a good choice for relationship, its fun to hang out with him, as long as nothing gets serious. And the question is, --Do I wanna get serious?

Tha is a tough question, even tougher than any question from the phone interview. If I get serious, I might get hurt, and if I am not serious at all, the game is not that fun. There is no win-win solution, "love like never been hurt", who can actually do that?

哦，我沒有說過嘛？嗬嗬，可能那是我想說卻忘了說的名言之一， 不好意思。再說了，聽我的教導那麽久了，難道你不能意會嘛？

工作找到後準備到那裏去玩？上班後再想修一二個月的假就難嘍。感情上的事永遠都是剪不段理還亂的，還是趁有時間好好自我享受一下為上。

出差一周未查你的博客，發現這幾天的產量頗大，質量也很高，關於人生的serious的問題一個接一個。我看為了我們廣大讀者，你就遲點上班吧。

我早就說過你和這個Dave很難保持純粹的朋友關係，又不是四五歲的小孩。I am sure Dave would love to hook up with you, but then what?
