    D from Hell

    似乎最近不好的事情发生前总是会有sign. 那天早上正在读一篇文章,Deals from Hell (not the book),在说GeocitiesYahoo acquire后因为没有妥善投资管理导致一个本来应该很promising (因为Geocities是最早出现的social networking site之一,有评论说如果当年它被很好的经营起来就不会有今天的facebook, twitter之众了)deal went bust in the end. 中午从美国飞来的大boss终于“大驾光临”,  smiling, polite; 盛情款待后,the bomb was dropped (a second one for me in two weeks). 读过这麽多,分析过不少,这次终于轮到亲身经历一次了 (while, critical info certainly wasn’t disclosed to us). 所以那天看到MS又要开始卖CICC时,突然觉得上周五没有提交成功的申请也没有那麽可惜了;不过好歹人家考虑的也是Int’l PE.
     
    Online test竟然不小心被我自己把窗口给关掉了;12个小时内给technical support发了67封信,终于在还差几小时的时候收到了回复。心态已经彻底没了,所以不知道哪根筋不对选了中文做verbal; 以前从来没有在这上面出过问题,结果这次第一次用自己的母语做竟然fail掉了(这个翻译竟然可以译得如此不着边际),真是肠子都悔青了。StanChart也不好意思再申了,上上下下都面了一遍,那天去解约的时候,HR脸上的表情也不是很好看。而就在announcement出来的前几天其他的application也几乎都被close了。都说上帝关上一扇门的时候会打开一扇窗;为什麽现在连窗都没了?
     
    最近高频率地在地铁里碰到人,昨天碰到L。估计没认出来,他看到我的时候愣了一下,然后冒出来一句,你咋这麽憔悴,紧接着又加了一句,以前好像不长痘痘的啊。我大笑,如果一个多月前痘痘灾情更严重的时候碰到是不是就不敢认我了。看来这个本命年过得还真是糟糕;算了,既然已经如此,就像你说的,那让牛鬼蛇神都来吧~ : )
     
    那天做Ralph Laurenprofile又让我不禁十分怀念M street; 没有你们在,去逛街都是我一个人,于是变成一件无趣的事情。Hermes今年的丝巾出了一款地图图案的,正中我的要害;下班路过银泰时总会想想它在中国的价位会高到怎样。
     
    在等一个proposal的结果;还没抓到鸡的时候已经幻想了一阵蛋了。前天在WSJ上看到客户准备裁员,大部分都不在美国本土;而同天的报纸上它的competitor决定扩大在中国的业务,因为前景很看好。不知道最终能不能得到鸡蛋…
