4/1 星期日

接着写周五。

中午和已转职的前辈一起吃午饭，很愉快，得到不少面试的tips。然后顺路把鞋子拿去修理清洗，竟然要6000块，真是抢钱，不过那双鞋值6万块，总比重新买一双要便宜，于是，忍痛掏钱。和Jeff约定的时间已经过了1小时，出租车慢得要命，因为是周五，天气又好，好像全东京的车都堵在去表参道的路上。司机也不想再继续堵在那条路上，于是走小巷，拐来拐去，终于到了，Jeff已经等了我近1个小时，我连声道歉。把Jeff带到AVENDA咖啡，Rina在那里也等了近1个小时，我真的不是个称职的matchmaker，anyway，他们终于见面了，而且看起来，they like each other, my mission is completed. Dave正好在附近，于是也过来一起喝咖啡，他晚上要和一些朋友出去玩，而我，必须乖乖回家，因为9点有一个phone interview from a company's NY office, its friday nite! damn!

9点，终于等到电话，我听到对方的第一句话的瞬间，“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!

下周还有3个interview，希望不会搞砸，至少应该比这个要命的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，我没有说过嘛？呵呵，可能那是我想说却忘了说的名言之一， 不好意思。再说了，听我的教导那么久了，难道你不能意会嘛？

工作找到后准备到那里去玩？上班后再想修一二个月的假就难喽。感情上的事永远都是剪不段理还乱的，还是趁有时间好好自我享受一下为上。

你什么时候又早就说过？？？明明是马后炮嘛。。。哈！

出差一周未查你的博客，发现这几天的产量颇大，质量也很高，关于人生的serious的问题一个接一个。我看为了我们广大读者，你就迟点上班吧。

我早就说过你和这个Dave很难保持纯粹的朋友关系，又不是四五岁的小孩。I am sure Dave would love to hook up with you, but then what?
