2008年的最后一个blog entry

今天老板终于“觉悟”了。提早30分钟让我们下班。我想是因为经济不好，从去年的60分钟前下班减到今天的30分钟。我想我也应该知足了。至少有提早下班。

2008年是个对我来说是个有欢笑，也有眼泪的一年。年初我的头头离开公司。本以为我的挡箭牌没了，接下来就得接大老板的飞箭了。还担心自己会被乱箭射死。但是快一年了，我还是安然无恙，还保持刀枪不入的状态。能走到2008年的最后一天，真的不容易。过程充满了泪水和叹气生。但是还好我是打不死的蟑螂。我在远方瞭望到我的出头天了。加油！

2008年也有很多灾难；天然的和人造的。从中，许多感人的故事和伟大的英雄诞生了。没有挑战就找不到真英雄。值得欢笑的是有很多。最基本的是我还活着。接下来就是我的干儿子来到了这个世界。显然生命是如此的容易让我感到知足，让我喜悦。

啊，2009年了。大家新年快乐！因为住在市区，周围都有倒数派对。烟花炮轰的声音开始响起。灿烂夺目的花在漆黑的夜空盛开着。一朵比一朵更令人感动。还记得有一年我看着烟花流着眼泪，被感动冲昏了头。

标题应该改成“2008年最后和2009年第一个blog entry”。2009年的第16分钟。。。好累。。。

Frustration of Men

Today I experienced the frustration of men when women ask them for opinions. We are self-contridicting creatures.

Case 1:
My business partner asked me opinion on an artwork. I suggested changing the text but she said "I want to keep the text. You got other suggestions?" I repeated, "I'm fine with everything except the text. Change it and you'll be fine." She replied, "But I want to keep the text leh...how?". I kept my silent. End of converstation.

Case 2:
Colleague: Should I have kids?
Me: Yes you should.
Colleague: But I can't imagine myself having kids.
Me: Then don't have it.
Colleague: But everyone around me want me to have kids, all except me.
Me: If you are okay, then have kids lor.
Colleague: But it's tough having kids.
Me: Up to you. Sometimes the more you think, you will never have kids.
Colleague: I'm getting old liao. Cannot afford to think so long.
Me: Then have kids. Don't think.
Colleague: But my back got problem. My husband and I are like two big children.
Me: Then don't have kids.
Colleague: I don't know. Should I have kids?

Case 1 & 2 happened in just 2 hrs span... Spare me!

公司的气氛沉重

因为全球金融海啸，很多公司也没被幸免。为了让公司继续生存，唯一能做的就是宣告莫些员工阵亡。到底公司会如何选择“干掉”哪些员工呢？老板会选择能干的新兵，还是忠心的老臣？

因为裁员，员工的勾心斗角越来越严重了。大家都想保住饭碗。但是老实说，留下来的未必有好日子，一个人做两个人的工作，工钱没加可能还会减薪。走的可能是上帝知道你不走就不会去找更好的机会。有很多曾经被裁的人，回头想想，还得感谢裁掉他们的人。没有裁员，他们就永远找不到他们的财源。
