    农历12月25

    农历12月25是我的农历生日,如果按农历算年纪,虽然还没有到30岁,但是也快了。贴上这首歌看来是比较适合的。
    预祝各位朋友新年快乐,在外面奔波的朋友们不要累坏了,还有要小心大雪,注意防冻啊。
     
    寂寞难耐

    总是平白无故的 难过起来 
    然而大伙都在 笑话正是精彩 
    怎么好意思 一个人走开 

    不是没有想过 随便谈个恋爱 
    一天又过一天 三十岁就快来 
    往后的日子 怎么对自己交待 

    寂寞难耐 寂寞难耐 
    爱情是最辛苦的等待 爱情是最遥远的未来 
    时光不再 啊 时光不再 
    只有自己为自己喝彩 只有自己为自己悲哀 

    虽然曾经有过 很多感情的债 
    对于未来的爱 还是非常期待 
    这一次我的心情 不高不低不好不坏

    Don't love you no more (Acoustic)

    [VERSE 1]
    For all the years that I've known you baby
    I can't figure out the reason why lately you've been acting so cold
    (didn't you say)
    If there's a problem we should work it out
    So why you giving me the cold shoulder now
    Like you don't even wanna talk to me girl
    (tell me)
    Ok I know I was late again
    I made you mad and then it's throwing the pan
    But why are you making this drag on so long
    (i wanna know)
    I'm sick and tired of this silly games
    (silly games)
    Don't figure that I'm the only one here to blame
    It's not me here who's been going round slamming doors
    That's when you turned and said to me
    I don't care babe who's right or wrong
    I just don't love you no more.

    [CHORUS]
    Rain outside my window pouring down
    What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
    Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
    Now it's, too late, to turn it around
    I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
    I guess this time it really is goodbye
    You made it clear when you said
    I just don't love you no more

    [VERSE 2]
    I know that I made a few mistakes
    But never thought that things would turn out this way
    Cause I'm missing something now that your gone
    (I see it all so clearly)
    Me at the door with you inner state
    (inner state)
    Giving my reasons but as you look away
    I can see a tear roll down your face
    That's when you turned and said to me
    I don't care babe who's right or wrong
    I just don't love you no more.

    [CHORUS]
    Rain outside my window pouring down
    What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
    Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
    Now it's, too late, to turn it around
    I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
    I guess this time it really is goodbye
    You made it clear when you said
    I just don't love you no more

    [BRIDGE]
    Don't say those words it's so hard
    They turn my whole world upside down
    Girl you caught me completely off guard
    On the night you said to me
    I just don't love you more.

    [CHORUS 2X]
    Rain outside my window pouring down
    What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
    Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
    Now it's, too late, to turn it around
    I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
    I guess this time it really is goodbye
    You made it clear when you said
    I just don't love you no more

    How to get the most from your IT Dept..... (For all Users)

     

    1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, darts trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

     

    2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.

     

    3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 300 screen saver passwords.

     

    4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.

     

    5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance delete it at once. We're just testing.

     

    6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.

     

    7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.

     

    8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.

     

    9. When you're getting a NO DIAL TONE message at home, call computer support. We can fix your telephone line from here.

     

    10. When you have a dozen old computer screens to get rid of, call computer support. We're collectors.

     

    11. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.

     

    12. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.

     

    13. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.

     

    14. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.

     

    15. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.

     

    16. Don't learn the proper name for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by "my thingy blew up".

     

    17. Don't use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps.

     

    18. If the mouse cable keeps knocking down the framed picture of your dog, lift the computer and stuff the cable under it. Mouse cables were designed to have 20kg of computer sitting on top of them.

     

    19. If the space bar on your keyboard doesn't work, blame it on the mail upgrade. Keyboards are actually very happy with half a pound of muffin crumbs and nail clippings in them.

     

    20. When you get a message saying "Are you sure?" click on that Yes button as fast as you can. Hell, if you weren't sure, you wouldn't be doing it, would you?

     

    21. When you find an I.T. person on the phone with his bank, sit uninvited on the corner of his desk and stare at him until he hangs up. We don't have any money to speak of anyway.

     

    22. Feel perfectly free to say things like "I don't know nothing about that computer crap". We don't mind at all hearing our area of professional expertise referred to as crap.

     

    23. When you need to change the toner cartridge in a printer, call I.T. support. Changing a toner cartridge is an extremely complex task, and Hewlett-Packard recommends that it be performed only by a professional engineer with a master's degree in nuclear physics.

     

    24. When you can't find someone in the government directory, call I.T. Support.

     

    25. When you have a lock to pick on an old file cabinet, call I.T. Support. We love to hack.

     

    26. When something's the matter with your computer, ask your secretary to call the help desk. We enjoy the challenge of having to deal with a third party who doesn't know anything about the problem.

     

    27. When you receive a 30mb (huge) movie file, send it to everyone as a mail attachment. We've got lots of disk space on that mail server.

     

    28. Don't even think of breaking large print jobs down into smaller chunks. Somebody else might get a chance to squeeze a memo into the queue.

     

    29. When an I.T. person gets on the lift pushing £100,000 worth of computer equipment on a cart, ask in a very loud voice: "Good grief, you take the lift to go DOWN one floor?!?" That's another one that cracks us up no end.

     

    30. When you lose your car keys, send an email to the entire company. People out in Pofadder like to keep abreast of what's going on.

     

    31. When you bump into an I.T. person at the grocers on a Saturday, ask a computer question. We do weekends.

     

    32. Don't bother to tell us when you move computers around on your own. Computer names are just a cosmetic feature.

     

    33. When you bring your own personal home PC for repair at the office, leave the documentation at home. We'll find all the settings and drivers somewhere.

    夜半,楼上传来叫床声 (zt)

    其实叫床一词用在这里并不贴切,应该是床叫,为什么那么说?那是因为我写作有个嗜好,总爱蒙人。

    楼上是个出租房,每年进进出出的房客不知换了多少。可最近来了一对小两口,不能不引起我的关注。
    自从他们进来后,每到晚上十一二点,楼上就显得很不安分。当然我不是千里耳,我决不会去偷听人家两口子的私事。可那每晚的床叫声总是把我从思考中搅醒,那床发出的一阵阵有节律的叫声声声入耳,直叫人心中烦热,尤其是那最后面的动作,节律快得几乎是震耳欲聋。让人透不过气来。真不愧是新时代的年轻人啊,功夫了得!张艺谋的“功夫”到他这里也是小菜一碟!

    按理说,我们都是人嘛,对这事是可以理解的。人性嘛,无可非议。自己偶尔也喜好追求这种最佳效果,就是在自己文章里也会经常上演。再者,偶尔听听那种声音也能激发激发创作灵感,有何不可?我那几部被文坛叫好的长篇不就是偷听隔壁新婚小林的叫床声才一气呵成的吗!

    可是,这两口也太放肆了,这简直是扰民啊。你们想追求效果也无防,换一张好一点的钢精床不就行了吗?干吗非得吊人家的胃口,拽着人家一起享受呢?我已是人到中年了,经不起那种“折腾”了,再者我是个写手,每晚都要工作到深夜,大部分时间都要爬格子,可不比你们潇洒,整天都能在床上“爬”,看来你们是诚心要让我羡慕死呵!。

    楼上正欢时,我心中难耐,便喊醒睡梦中的妻子。妻子很不高兴地望着我,一脸的不解。我指指楼上,妻子就丢了一句:你也上去接着叫吧!便倒头睡去。

    这一夜我什么也没干,心中却有了一种涟猗。我是不是要感谢上帝的恩赐?因为这栋楼里就我能享受这种优厚的待遇。

    第二天晚上十一点刚过,楼上更是过之而无不及。我意乱情迷,一个人呆呆地,点上一支烟,靠在我那好久没叫的床上。一面欣赏着熟睡的妻子,一边倾听那楼上免费的交响乐。心中浮想联翩。

    妻子又被我弄醒。我温柔地喊着妻子的名字,她却不答,只是回了一句:你中邪啦?就再也不理我了。我一阵失望。

    这一夜又是无眠。
    白天,我开始注意楼上的那对活宝了,尤其是那个女的。

    到了第三天深夜,楼上又是如法炮制。这一次还添了新花样,途中可能战斗到地板上了,只听楼板咚咚地山响。我有点害怕,担心两口子会把楼底贯穿。但转念一想,塌下来也好,我想看看那娘们在那一刻是个啥俊俏模样,哈哈!

    我的心不能再无动于衷了,否则就要得出什么病来不可。如果眼下是个战乱年代该有多好,就凭我这身架,我一上楼那小子还不乖乖让床!

    我在房间里不停地踱步,声音踩得劈啪作响。可又担心把妻子吵醒。

    妻子的觉还是被我搅黄了。她看看我象个热锅上的蚂蚁,又朝楼上瞄了瞄,嚷开了:你变态呀?你看你都四十好几的人了。。。。。。你那时不也一样嘛!

    我申辩说,你明天还是去和那娘们说说吧,叫她们悠着点,别扰民。否则我什么也干不成!

    这事你叫我怎么说?人家不骂你神经病才怪呢!要不就是把人家吓跑了,反说你是怪物!妻子反驳。

    我一头扎进被窝里,蒙头便睡。

    此后,白天我开始守在门口,好奇地等待着她的出现。当然,为了防止妻子误会,我选在妻子离家的时候进行。

    一阵轻盈的脚步声传来,我便装着要出门的样子,微笑着和她招呼:你好!刚来的吧?

    她腼典一笑,点点头算是回答。

    我乘机一瞧,啊!这女人竟有这般的姿色!除了脸上的憔悴之外,无可挑剔。

    以后我们是邻居了,有事请关照。

    在她走下楼梯的时候我追上一句。其实这句话的潜台词是我要关照你,我比你男人更棒。

    晚上,妻子对我说,她见到楼上那女的了,她要我们以后多多关照。我急忙问:你说了吗?那怕是暗示一下也行啊。

    其实我现在更不愿意要她说了。

    妻子笑笑:第一次见面哪能乱说呀,不过我看得出这女人很善良,长得也不错,就是有一脸的疲劳。

    我说那还不疲劳?每晚都坚持工作到深夜,那叫性爱综合症!

    不过,我早迟还是要提醒一下的,免得你这位大作家患上老年躁动症。哪一天跑到人家闺房里被警察抓了,那可是中国文坛的巨大损失啊!妻子调侃。

    是夜安静。再是夜还是安静。过了一周,楼上依然风平浪静。

    我心里突然空荡荡的,象有种被抛弃的感觉。于是每逢妻子不在时我又蹬守门前,扑捉那熟悉的脚步声。

    你好!上班啊?这回她的脸上没有了腼典,笑起来的样子比上次好看多了,也没了憔悴。

    可我心想,这几天是怎么啦?老公出差?不然怎么没有了憔悴呢?那男人我可从没见过呀?

    晚上我把这一情况通报妻子。妻子也有同感:女人就是受不了男人的夜夜折腾,这个我深有体会!------楼上这男人是个啥样我也没见过。

    我说恐怕静不了几天,不信走着瞧。也许男人不在家。要是真的不叫了可能就有外遇,床不叫未必是件好事啊。

    正议论间,忽然楼上“吱呀”床声大作。我和妻子面面相觑。看看钟还不到九点。今天怎么啦?是不是出差刚回呀?我想一定是吧!不然不会这么急的。妻子也这么猜测着。

    眼看楼上的床就要掉下来的时候,我听到有人在敲门。是谁这么缺德呀,偏在这时来捣乱,是否也惊动了隔壁?人家的耐性可远没有我们好啊。

    我正在疑惑,门被敲得山响。我仔细一听,竟是我家的门。

    我不耐烦的一开门,啊——!楼上的那位漂亮女人一脸的焦急,两只泪眼惊慌失措:麻烦你大哥快帮帮我,我家老公又发病了快不行了,帮我把他送到医院吧!

    我急忙抓起电话拨通了急救,然后一个箭步冲到楼上。眼前的情景把我和妻子惊呆了。

    我们来不及多想,慌忙帮那女人收拾东西去医院。

    在医院,妻子陪着那个女人没有离开,我也一夜未归,担心女人有什么急事忙不过来。

    女人向妻子诉说着她的不幸:他在一次车祸中失去一条腿,大脑也受到刺激,落下了后遗症,加上他本来就有癫痫的毛病,经常深夜发作,口吐白沫,全身颤抖,发疯的样子很可怕,有时从床上掉到地上,床都弄坏了好几张啊 。

    当妻子用疑惑而又同情的眼神看着她时,她很快领悟了妻子的心思:我们有那么多年的感情,很深的,我也很爱他,你叫我怎么忍心抛下他呢?呜呜——!即使守他一辈子,我——也——不后悔。。。。。。女人已泣不成声。

    望着眼前的这位女人,我和妻子突然有种惭愧。妻子紧紧抓住女人的手,禁不住泪流满面,我站在一旁,被他们感染着,心里却在骂自己:你是一个混蛋小人!

    在朱广沪先生的“要赢得漂亮”的承诺声中,我们的国家队历尽艰辛,排除万难终于以1:1的比分战胜了世界级强旅伊拉克队.

    每逢遇到这样的新闻,我都会非常心平气和的把网页关掉,然后打开成人影视的界面。因为在我看来,看中国足球的时间如果用在学习房中之术上,想必以后在中国市场上,“阴茎增大药”将会成为一个历史的代名词。

    今天也同样不例外。

    今天的主题自然也不过是某某AV女优又出了什么新片,某某厕所真实偷拍,欧美白妞大战黑鬼之类没什么新意的东西,以至于很多像我这样毛片阅尽的老淫民已经失去了当下去的热情。每逢遇到这样的情况,成人网页的版主们往往都会费尽心思的为大家带来一些新鲜的东西,炒一炒时髦的概念。因为他们知道,如果聚不起淫气,广大淫民就会很快流失在茫茫网络之中,那这网站自然也就开不下去了。

    今天被顶起来的便是传说中的国产毛片。

    国产毛片拍得好么?这个问题想必不用说在座淫民也是心知肚明了。有时淫民们也会讨论一下为什么国产毛片为什么不能发扬光大,然而却总不能汇总一个靠谱的理由。不能发扬光大的东西反而会在这个挑剔的环境中被拿出来作为热点来讨论,想必除了中国足球,也只有国产毛片可以拿出来说说话了。

    和欧美毛片比,国产毛片自然要在身体上输上很多。比起丰胸美臀的金发洋妞,国产毛片里的那几个多少有点营养不良的女主角可能都不太好意思说自己是女人。再比起身材和工具都大一号的男演员,对于国产毛片里那几个连脸都不敢露出来的龌龊男人,我们也不太好意思拿出来说这是自家兄弟。说到底,拼身体和力气,我们的国产毛片还是没有前途的。

    身体不能和西方人比,那咱们还是回过头来和亚洲人比比吧。说到亚洲毛片,那咱们还得首推日本。古有饭岛爱,今有武藤兰,日本毛片的悠久历史大可追溯到有狗那年。如果说比欧美毛片我们没有身体上的优势,那这些生理上的差别在和我们同样是黑头发黄皮肤的日本人那里便显得微不足道了。

    既然没什么身体上的差别,我们的国产毛片就是否能和日本毛片一较高下呢?

    这答案自然也是显而易见的。虽然在身体上没有任何优势,日本成人影视产业却占到了全球成人影视产业的70%以上。换句话说,如果这地球上有十张毛片,里面就会有七张是MADE IN JAPAN。这个生存在微微小岛上的国家把“科技是第一生产力”这句名言彻头彻尾的融入了血液中,融入了精液里。虽然日本人身体上不能和欧美比,但是他们可以比技术,比工具,比剧情,比变态,比拍摄质量,比后期制作,等等等等。

    再看看我们手头的国产毛片,且不说有什么剧情,工具,单看那台拍摄用的80万像素DV,便足够我们愧疚很长一阵子。昏暗的灯光,龌龊的狗男女,肮脏凌乱的房间,模糊的图像,摇曳的镜头,这一切一切都说明了我们还处于毛片拍摄的初级阶段,前面貌似还有很长的一段路要走。

    尽管如此,广大刚刚进入状态的年轻淫民们还是对国产毛片趋之若鹜。

    何也?

    究其原因居然仅仅是因为数量少而已。如果除掉那些手工作坊里制造的大陆毛片,那为数不多的几张台湾毛片简直可以用珍稀来形容。屈指可数的几个女优,屈指可数的几部电影,所谓的国产毛片产业居然也就仅仅是摊开手指头而已。呜呼哀哉。

    淫民说是因为政策。我泱泱大中国五千年传统美德,岂能容忍此等邪淫之物流毒于世?所以正因为不能拿出台面来,才会吸引更多人的兴趣。即使灯光很昏暗,即使男女很龌龊,即使图像看不清楚,淫民都不会在乎。淫民看的是热闹。

    这让我忽然想起有一次一个荷兰兄弟问我:“中国的毛片什么样?”

    我板着脸告诉他:“我中华帝国乃是礼仪之邦,怎能与尔等蛮夷相提并论?”

    这兄弟带着对我中华文化的一脸敬畏,转头去了。

    还有一次,一个日本小哥一脸谄媚的问我:“有没有中国的毛片也让我学习学习?”

    我一脸不屑的回答道:“我堂堂东土大唐乃是高洁圣地,岂能与尔等倭寇一样将禽兽之事大肆宣扬?”

    这日本小哥被我说得无地自容,点头哈腰讪讪的走了。

    漂亮的话虽然说了出去,但这心里还是有些不平衡。尤其是每次国际淫民坐在一起讨论起毛片,黄毛鬼子对身体优势的自大和东洋鬼子对技术能力的吹嘘都让我觉得郁闷非常。然而郁闷归郁闷,这毛片之路却也还并不是吃一片伟哥就能解决问题的。如果这政策不能改改,数以千万的中国淫民便也只能在打打飞机的时候安慰安慰自己“我们的技术比欧美好,我们的身体比鬼子强。”但这种阿Q式的心理平衡却并不能改变什么本质上的问题,而且万一某一天欧美毛片开始向技术转型,而日本毛片又开始采用人高马大万里挑一的男主角时,我们的国产毛片还有出头之日么?如果真的到了那一天,先天营养不良的中国毛片岂不是在世界上永无勃起之日了?!我广大中国淫民便一定要忍受看毛片等字幕的窝囊气么?!

    这是绝对不能容忍的!!!

    我们必须运动了!必须勃起了!无论是补充营养还是学习技术,我们都必须马上下家伙了!即使政策上还没有什么改变,但我们绝不能等到精尽人亡的那一天才发现“书到用时方恨少,鸟到用时方恨小。”机遇永远是留给那些有准备的头脑的!所以即使今天我们虽然没有看到国产毛片的蒸蒸日上,但至少我们要把机会留给明天!

    让我们为国产毛片事业的未来鸣枪致敬!


    PS:谁知道国字号下一张碟哪天出?

    LAT - 分开同居

    最新流行的两性关系是:不结婚,不同居,只当男女朋友。社会学家为这种关系创造了一个新名词:“分开住的共同生活”关系(living apart together,或简称为L.A.T.)

    一对举止优雅的情侣在共进晚餐后,亲密地并肩走向自己的卧室。当他们沿着螺旋梯上了二楼以后,男的向左,女的往右.虽然这是一座他们刚刚租下的房子,但却被分成了两个完全不同的空间。他们拥有各自的卧室、洗手间和浴室,甚至还有厨房。

    里夫·里基是伦敦郊区一所中学的校长,他解释自己的行为时说,“我们只是希望更独立一些,不互相干扰,因为我们都有自己的事情要做。”

      同居但不同住

      英国国家统计局办公室逐渐注意到了像里基这样的情侣。他们在一份报告中说,越来越多的人开始保持这种半分开的同居状态,一般来说,社会学家将他们称为分开同居(living apart together,简写为LAT)。该局的专家说,他们将在2011年的人口普查中对这种趋势作出确认,会给出一个比较准确的比例数字。

      在另外两个西方国家中,加拿大的分开同居者已经达到了8%,而瑞典在前两年就已经达到4%。

      许多社会学家开始认为,分开同居是西方国家自1960年代之后的第三次性革命。这个概念最早来源于荷兰和瑞典等以性开放而闻名的国家,原先指的是那些没有结婚的情侣,选择保持包括性在内的亲密关系,但是却不住在一起,后来这个名词则逐渐扩展到已经结婚的夫妇。据报道,连查尔斯王子的新妻子——卡米拉也要求在婚后保有自己原来居住的房子。

      来自美国路易斯维尔大学的一项研究表明,分开同居能够避免家庭生活中一些不愉快的细节,比如有时候落在浴室里的一块湿毛巾都能引起两人关系的破裂,而分开同居则是采取一种各取所需,互不干涉的生活态度。

      预约性生活

      事实上,敏锐的房地产商早就注意到了这个现象。作为房产中介的里瑟先生在曼彻斯特一带代理房屋租赁业务,他也发现,现在越来越多的夫妇在租房子的时候要求有各自独立的空间,“一对有夫妻的孩子甚至要求我们找一个拥有三个独立空间的房子,他们对自己生活的独立性要求很高。”

      发现这一趋势的房地产商迅速在伦敦西南郊推出一处宣扬“平行生活”理念的房子,专门销售或者租赁给那些需要分开同居的情侣或者夫妇。这些房子看起来是一栋完整的建筑,但实际上是完全分开的两个部分,每个部分的设施都一样,连大门都开在两个不同的方向。

      而住在曼彻斯特的两位作家——迈克尔·基恩和他的妻子达芙琳则选择了住在两所不同的房子里,他们无论从感情还是性上来说都没有任何矛盾,但还是习惯自己住,迈克尔的解释是:“他不想让无谓的争吵毁了他们的感情。他们目前的见面频率是一周两到三次,但都需要提前预约时间。”

      达芙琳对此显得很轻松,她说,“平常我们都很忙碌,没有时间更多地考虑对方,所以采取预约的方式,每周见面,做爱、聊天、共进烛光晚餐,一起做所有喜欢的事情。”

      “不愿向除自己以外的人负责”

      曼彻斯特大学社会学系的特里博士在分析LAT现象时,更习惯于从人性的角度来解释。他说,现代人更忙碌,喜欢独立,所以造就了一些独居的习惯,他们更愿意保持自己原有的生活。

      分开同居者——室内设计师伊恩斯对记者解释说,她和她的男友对于生活的态度有很多的不同。由于职业的缘故,她喜欢随意、多彩的环境,而她的男友则更刻板,喜欢整洁和干净,“所以我们不住在一起,谁也不会侵犯谁的领地,很好。”

      同时,特里博士还向记者指出了另外一个方面的因素,即人性中的自私,“很多人选择分开同居,是因为他们不愿意向除自己以外的人负责。”

      加拿大的社会学家则提出了一些恰恰相反的理由,比如在多伦多,许多年轻人即使在结婚后,还是选择与各自的父母住在一起,以尽孝心。

      “当然,房子价格的飞涨也是一个因素,许多年轻人在多伦多根本买不起房子,只好和父母住在一起省钱。”多伦多大学的社会学家蒂姆·埃文斯解释说。

    转贴:一个北大学子毕业后的14点感悟----送给快毕业的你和我

     1,我刚工作的时候,在一家小公司,很小很小的。和我一起进去的另外2个都是普通一点的学校的。我们刚去的时候,基本上有了电话都是我站起来跑过去接,其它人根本就不动身。以至于到了后来,电话一响,如果我不起身,大家就会一直等着,一直等到我终于忍不了了起身去接。每天下班以后,我要检查办公室的垃圾袋,看看是不是需要把垃圾袋提走。而其他人,比如老员工和另外的实习生,他们根本不会去提垃圾袋。

    2,工作形势非常严峻。尤其是对于刚毕业的学生。如果是大公司,它们可能有能力支付生手的培训时间和金钱,也有能力承受生手因不熟悉业务而给公司带来的损失,但是对于绝大部分小公司,它们根本就不愿意或者说无法承受这些。所以在一个大专毕业的熟手和一个北大毕业的生手中间,他们宁可选择前者。

    3,中关村乃至海淀乃至北京,是一个廉价高等教育人才市场。这个大环境决定了我们在用人单位眼里,都是金属,而不是金子。在这里,大学生就是廉价劳动力,商人看刚毕业的大学生的感觉,和建筑工地上包工头看民工的眼光没有任何区别。尤其在以赚钱为唯一目的的大部分小公司。所以,刚毕业的同学最需要做的,就是赶紧让自己成为一个熟工。

    4,在学校的时候,好好享受自尊的感觉。有人说,他读大学的时候,以为他毕业后要变成一条狗只需要3年的时间,但是工作后,他发现对自己真是太不自信了,其实要变成一条狗根本不用3年,半年就足够了。这话是我大4时看见的,过了2年后,我发现这条伟大真理完全可以和牛顿定律媲美。我们在北大里,享受的是中国最大的自由和民主,这是个可怕的甜蜜。因为当你第一次受到指着鼻子的责骂时你一下子无法接受。

    5,你在北大的时候,可能会觉得某人很俗。离开北大的时候,你可能会立志你绝对不要俗。但是过了几年后,你会发现只有那些完成了由不俗到俗的成功转变的同学才能衣着不俗地参加聚会,而那些尚未完成转变的同学则可能潦倒落魄地出现在你面前。所以,当你在学校的时候,千万不要讥笑(哪怕是在心里)身边那些俗又俗的同学,因为他们很可能就是将来同学聚会上的主角,也是你mm对你进行再教育的榜样。

    6,在我们所受到的教育里,师长一直告诉我们要诚实、对人真诚。还有,中国的老话叫“买卖不成仁义在”。这在企业竞争已经到人性化程度的西方世界可能还是真理,但是在现在的中国商场上那是……胡说。举个例子吧,我的诚实让公司失去了一个客户,让我个人赢得了一个朋友;当这个朋友因我的诚实而给我带来一个大买卖时,我已经被公司老板因那次业务失败而炒了鱿鱼;所以最后我把这宗大买卖带到了新服务的公司。

    这件事的结果最后是好的;但是这只是一个幸运的偶然。我想大部分人不会这么幸运。工作以后,如果你每天统计一下,你会惊讶于自己现在从早晨走进办公室的那一刻起就开始说假话。这假话对同事说、对老板说、对客户说、一直说到家里,如果你的女友or男友还没有工作,而是留在学校上研上博(就像我的情况),你会让他们大为震惊,他们很可能悲痛欲绝地对你说“你怎么能这么说?”然后,你可能更加愤慨地对她or他说:“这只是交际的手段/业务的需要/如果你能给我提供一个饭碗我肯定不这么说……”最后的最后,你们很可能对彼此失望,比如,对方觉得你变了;你觉得对方too naive,too simple,不理解你。

    7,当你还在学校的时候,平时有空多看几部白痴一点幼稚一点的片子,比如《流星花园》那种。当年我对此嗤之以鼻,现在我一想起一个宿舍的女生围着一台破电脑看它的情景我就鼻子发酸!!!!现在我们已经没什么心思能沉在一部片子里耐心地看下去了,偶尔看看电视,就是拿着遥控器拼命跳台。

    8,当你还在学校的时候,多去上上课,少在宿舍打游戏睡觉。多看看那些底高望重的老教授,没问题也找几个出来问问吧,就当小时候听奶奶讲故事。因为,工作以后就不要指望谁这么耐心给你讲东西了,老板要是让你做啥,不懂的话千万别问!自己想办法查!不要以为像在学校一样,好问是美德!你多问几句,脾气好的老板会不理你,晾着你知道你自己讪讪地走开,脾气稍微不好地老板会对你阴阴地说:“你们北大的就这素质?这都不会?”你可能会心里喊冤:“拜托!我接触这项业务才2天,我不问我怎么知道?”你这么想就错了。老板要的是结果,不是过程。他管你怎么做到的,总之你做到了才算完。我现在每想到大学时候不少次我都在课堂上睡觉,我就觉得特别对不起讲堂上的老师。

    9,当你还在学校的时候,能谈恋爱就谈场恋爱,那时候谈恋爱才叫谈恋爱!你的她很可能只是因为喜欢你而跟你谈恋爱;你们可能大夏天一起挤公交去动物园,在臭气烘烘的车厢里晃来晃去都是一种甜蜜一种幸福;工作以后你就别指望了!如果她跟你谈了3年你还没有能买房能加薪的迹象,你就完蛋了!如果你跟她谈了3年你还没有能买房能跟她结婚的迹象,你也完蛋了,你可能会开始怀疑你是不是在耽误她的青春她的时间。那时候你们一起再坐公交车,你都会觉得心酸:你堂堂一个北大男子汉,还要让lp挤公交车!

    10,当你还在学校的时候,多原谅舍友的小过失。不要因为她or他不小心把一杯水泼在你的英语词典上就对她or他生气甚至要求赔偿;不要因为她 or他的臭袜子忘记从你床上拿走你就对别人抱怨!不要因为她or他借了你2块钱买水果一直忘记还就在意。不要不要因为她or他的无意中的缺点或失误而对他生气。当你工作以后,你会发现其实他们原来并没有那么讨厌,你会惊讶当初你干吗总是为这种事情而生气,你会慢慢忘记他们的不好而只记得当初你们床头夜话时的温馨、买一包零食回来大家一起吃的开心。当你刚上大学的时候,你可能感叹过真心朋友只有在高中才交得到;但当你工作以后你会发现,大学才最可能交到一辈子的能互相倾诉互相帮忙的朋友!

    11,如果你是女生,当你还在学校的时候,多体谅那些你不喜欢甚至讨厌但是狂追你的男生!因为无论你多讨厌他,毕竟他们是真心喜欢你的,在他们眼里,你很可能就是天使!而在工作后,你在老板看来,很可能你只不过是狗屎!人的一生中没有多少机会得到一些最真最纯的东西,很多年后那些看起来又矮又丑的男生可能结婚成家,你很可能已经被世事磨得没有知觉,而当你再和他们相遇,你很可能会突然发现他们原来这么好、这么好、这么这么好,原来他们一点都不丑……你会很想很想哭!

    12,当你在学校的时候,多读一点书,少上网做一些没有意义的东西,比如灌水比如聊qq!因为你一旦离开校园,你就很可能顶多只有读读《瑞丽》《成都今夜将我遗忘》这样的垃圾杂志和快餐书,而不再有机会去想万圣和风入松!更不会有机会有时间有气氛去看那里的书!我在大2的时候,曾经惊觉我读的名著基本上停留在高中时代,而当我工作后我发现我读过的书完全停留在大学毕业以前!

    13,当你还在学校的时候,你可能为那些该死的偷车贼而痛不欲生咬牙切齿,你可能会在临上课前5分钟才起床,然后慢悠悠散步去上课;当工作以后,你最大的可能就是每天6点起床,在沙丁鱼罐头一样的公交车里焦急地等待你的公交车在堵车长龙里挤牙膏一样一点一点地往前爬;当你因某天某段路发生交通事故而迟到了5分钟却因为老板还没来而庆幸时,很可能某个你的亲密同事已经在准备报告给老板了。当你晚上再经历同样的堵车回到家想看点书时,你很可能发现时钟已经指到9了,而你这时候很可能还没吃饭!

    14,如果你是女生,当你还在学校的时候,不要为了减肥而生饿自己把自己弄出胃病来!因为你会发现一旦你有了胃病而后工作你会郁闷to death!你在学校的时候,很可能因为某天例假来了而轻易就选择不去上课,而当你工作后,哪怕你痛得浑身发凉你也可能强迫自己不请假!因为你要把一年里有限的几个请假机会留给你最最需要的时候!在学校的时候,你可能觉得在苗条和健康中你会选择前者,等到你工作了,你会发现,健康才是人生最大的财富!

    转贴: 找工作看看~~

    Never lose faith--记从毕业到job offer

    在英华潜水很久了,在工作版收益良多,今天是我上班整整两个星期了,整理出自己的路程仅供大家参考。

    从毕业搬来伦敦到上班整整8个月了,从开始找工作到上了班中间失败了很多也得到了很多。

    1 背景介绍

    首先不是牛人。国内大学毕业直接来念MSC,天津一所不知名大学计算机毕业,BATH念的MASTER,也是计算机。基本上没有工作经验,有几个月在西门子实习的经历而已。现在在伦敦的一家软件公司KALIDO工作,程序员,公司不大但是产品很有意思而且位置待遇都让我很满意。

    2 开始找工作的时间

    其实这不用说,所有人都知道要在毕业前一年9,10月开始,因为大公司下一年的intake都是这个时候。但是问题是那时候很多人才刚来英国(master)和我一样,知道是知道但是有太多的事情要应付又听说英国工作如何如何之难,一放就放到了毕业。我是从10月份毕业以后才开始正式找工作的,因为有一年的SEGS所以也不慌不忙的,加上中间搬家回国亲戚来玩,所以一开始真正用在找工作上的时间并不多,于是错过了GRADUATE找大公司的最好时期。(其实10月开始已经有点晚了,投行都差不多快结束了吧)

    所以这里推荐大家还是要早动手啊,千万不要和我一样当了大半年的坐家。

    3 学校的CAREER SERVICE

    开始找工作了以后才发现当初自己没有好好利用学校的CAREER SERVICE是多么的浪费资源。等到不在学校了才想起来和CAREER SERVICE咨询。但是邮件可以给你提供的帮助远远不够。推荐还在学校的朋友多利用CAREER SERVICE,改简历,练面试,借书,甚至还有校友的联络方式,都很有用的。

    4 简历/申请表

    敲门砖,反正就不停的改吧,我是自己有几十个版本了已经。找学校CAREER SERVICE的改过,看别人的改,在英华看帖子改,找LOCAL改反正能用的办法都用了。简历要说说起来太多了,要是有人想听新开一贴吧。

    5 面试笔试Assessment Center

    本人前后一共得到了9次面试,去了前5个,后面的因为来的太晚,我已经定下来要到现在的公司就没有去。这些公司分别是DRKW, SYMBIANS, SHELL, BLACK AND DECKER, KALIDO, SHELL(又一次,稍后介绍), EDS, BIG HAND
    还有一些公司给了面试后来又因为他们的种种原因没有去或者是人家突然又不要人了。

    DRKW,德国投行,在BANK面试的,给钱多,本人并不是投行的FANS但是人家让去还是去了。他的ASSESSMENT CENTER是两部分,过了第一天的才能去第二天的,其实第一天的就应该算是笔试加面试。考NUMERICAL,比网上的考试稍难,很多地方很鬼,一不注意单位什么的就很容易错,他们使用BENCHMARK打分,本来考完以后感觉很不好,因为有一个图上的单位和问题的单位不一样,大部分人都没看到,结果还得到80%多, 更可喜的是当天面试的所有中国人全部通过,FAIL的都是老外:) 那是第一次面试,连西装都是前一天才买的。当天中国人挺多,都是牛津剑桥IC的牛人,自叹弗如。面试问题都很正常,只是本人经验不足没有通过到第二轮。

    SYMBIANS, 这个已经是两个多月以后的事情了,因为其中我回国又有亲戚来伦敦旅游所以耽误了一段。SYMBIANS是做手机操作系统的,是行业老大,总部在伦敦中心,毕业生计划也很不错,起薪25,有好几个方向可以选择,值得一提的是SYMBIANS没有DRESS CODE,随便穿,到处都是牛仔裤体恤的,当然,见客户是不行的了,说的是开发人员。 两个笔试两个面试。笔试是SHL 的DIAGRAMMING和SYNTAX CHECK,都不是很难,这里就不多说了,因为应该只有计算机的才会碰到。面试有专业的和不专业的,专业的问题挺细致,还给了一段程序找错误。我就死在找错误上,因为那程序乍一看很好,我看了30秒就告诉人家说没有错,后来人家让我再仔细看,我才认真看起来,结果找到了里面一共10个错误,才8行程序啊,真变态。两周后得知由于我一开始说没有错误所以人家觉得我太粗心,把我放到了WAITING LIST上面,和我联系的人一直说放心,那LIST上就你一个, 我们要30个人呢,总有人不来的。结果今年就是SYMBIANS 第一年没有人REFUSE OFFER的。

    SHELL, 不用介绍了吧,BUILDING 很大气,就在LONDON EYE的后面。面试很快,40分钟,问题也没有什么特别的,只是最后由一个OPEN的问题,让我就TOURIST谈一下自己的看法,结果面试我的大婶有口音,我听成了恐怖分子,侃侃而谈了半天她才纠正我。会有引导方向性质的问题。估计算是特色,没法准备,只能当场发挥了。这次自我感觉很好,结果很长时间我都没有收到下一步的通知,也没说不要反正什么都没说。和那里联系说是负责我的人事换人了。最后都快上班了收到很奇怪的据信,说我没去面试??后面那个没去的SHELL的面试是因为我觉得不甘心换了个邮箱又申请了一次:)

    BLACK AND DECKER, 专业不是很相关,招的是做CRM的但是不是开发,是欧洲的LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME。公司是做工具的,锄草机电钻什么的。也是行业老大,在伦敦外面。挺偏僻的想是开发区一样的地方有很多公司在一起。起薪22, 也是两部分的ASSESSMENT CENTER, 我去的是第一部分,一整天,笔试,面试,介绍会合小组讨论。 笔试挺有意思,是考BUSINESS SENSE的,具体的不大清楚了,叫什么ABLE TEST。 面试两个人,完全集中在工作经验上轰炸,所有准备了的东西都没用,而且还着重提出不想听学校里的经验哪怕是学校里组织活动的经验都不行。1个半小时,我整个头昏脑胀,他们问的很细致,甚至还要你说出你所在公
    司的组织结构工作流程什么的,难道是商业间谍??GROUP DISCUSS和别处的一样,小屋子,6个人,1个小时,6个面试官纪录。搞笑的是里面两个阿X男人和一个西班牙女人一直在抢LEADER的角色,后来女人退出了,剩下俩人抢到了最后。经常能看到俩人都站着大声“讨论”。 最后也不清楚是那个部分不行,我觉得面试和小组都有关系, 面试没有很好的显示LEADERSHIP,不过都是实习去当苦力的,哪儿有机会LEADER啊,还不让说学校的,5555。GROUP的评语是 you scored well - particularly in the group exercise for commercial awareness and technical skills. The assessors felt that you could think outside the box and be analytical in this activity, but needed to focus on your communication in terms of more impact and dynamism. 还是语言有问题啊。 PS: 如果进入下一轮是两整天的ASSESSMENT CENTER, 恐怖。。。

    KALIDO, 做数据仓库和主数据管理的,号称行业老大,不过这领域产品不多。在伦敦市中心(也是我选择的一个原因因为女朋友在伦敦呵呵)中午管饭(原因之二哈哈)是从前从SHELL分出来的后来让别人给买了。也算系出名门吧。公司不大,一共200来人,美国一半伦敦一半但是总部是伦敦。没有ASSESSMENT CENTER,只有笔试和面试。笔试有三个,VERBAL NUMERICAL 和DIAGRAMMING,我还从来没做过VERBAL,事前也没有通知要做,做得很差,才30%多,但是那两个都是全对。后来我们头和我说其实VERBAL问题不大,毕竟你是外国人。 两个面试一个是技术的一个是普通的,普通的很普通,面我的人是公司的FOUNDER,很NICE还用了10分钟和我讨论NBA,有一个问题印象很深,他问我你大学学的课程什么你觉得是最垃圾的,我想这是软件公司,就大胆说电路原理啦,模拟数字电路拉。结果中了,他感同身受的站起来和我握手,挺好玩的一个人。技术的没有问具体的技术,问题都是假设性的问题,说加入让你测试一个汽车门锁的遥控你要怎么办?(因为这个PROGRAMME头一年要在测试做)让我觉得小公司也好的是等我们面试
    结束就拿到了笔试成绩,然后当场开支票报销路费,面试那天是周五结果周二就有消息了效率还真高。

    EDS, BIG HAND。 EDS没有去是因为不在伦敦而且面试的日期我已经开始上班了。公司是很不错的,这里也有很多人在那里吧。BIGHAND是一家号称做语音识别的,结果后来仔细看看原来就是做录音,老板录音了以后发给秘书秘书把东西打出来。无聊的软件没有前途所以就没去。

    6 WORK PERMIT

    很严重的问题,的确,IBM MS ACCENTURE LOGICALCMG 这些大公司都去不了。EDS虽然办也比较麻烦。我们这里因为之前有一个中国人了所以应该问题不是很大。IT公司办WORK PERMIT的并不多,小公司反而好一些因为即使他不给办你也可以自己申请。IB BIG4都给办但是个人不是很想丢了自己的专业起码暂时不想,不过IB也有技术职位。 BPIST是BP的,给办但是我错过了DEADLINE。
    还有很多我们并不清楚人家给办不给办的,所以我觉得大家还是试一试,还是有机会的

    7 网站

    工作的网站有很多,就毕业生而言,MILKROUND DOCTORJOB GRB 几个都不错,因为起码他们都是仅仅提供信息然后你需要直接和公司申请的,基本上都能得到回复。中介网站信息很多,但是得到的回复少之又少,但是申请很简单,可以作为大面积撒网之用。REED CWJOBS JOBSITE MONSTER LONDONCAREER FINANCIALCAREER什么的,还有各大报纸的网站。剩下的特大知名公司就要经常关注公司自己的网站了。

    8 技术

    毕业生嘛,技术不重要,关键是理解技术和学技术的能力。专业面试前背背OO的概念拉结合人家产品想点问题或者是建议什么的就可以了。计算机技术太多不需要什么都会,但是什么都能知道一点是最好的。

    9 英语

    太重要了,太重要了。 练吧

    10 技巧

    有点想法而已。
    一,换不同的邮箱申请同一家公司。个人觉得大公司的建立筛选标准不一,也许今天看得人喜欢你明天的不喜欢呢。 提高获得面试的机会要无所不用其极。只是有的公司的系统比较好,会发现……

    二,申请表上都会问你要不要WORK PERMIT,是不是合法在这里工作,因为我有SEGS,SEGS算是WORK PERMIT所以我的原则是,只有人家问我你是不是 “永久” 的都不需要WORK PERMIT 才说不是,其他情况我都说是。

    三,做网上的题的时候,据说4大的可以拔网线但是我没有申请所以不清楚。但是肯定有的公司不能那么做。所以我的办法是除了自己多练习以外,多找几个人一起做,人多力量大嘛。想想如果做VERBAL的时候有仨人帮你查字典是什么光景。

    没了,想到再说吧

    11 运气

    有时候是决定性的,不能小看,祝各位好运。

    感想:从来没想到找工作难成这个样子,8个月的时间并不长, 但对于一个从小都自大狂妄的人来讲, 一次次的挫折就像是信心在被凌迟, 多年练就的厚脸皮此时也派上了用场. 但是不断的失败会让自己开始不断的否定不断的怀疑,突然有一天发现, 自己搜肠刮肚也想不出自己长处的时候. 真的很害怕。 找不到工作不可怕,怕是怕自己丢掉了信心。英华给了我很大的帮助,看着别人分享自己的经验,我也能看到曙光看到希望。当然,女朋友长久以来的支持也是分不开的,无法想象没有了她我能坚持这么长时间。

    SYMBIAN给了我希望却又让我更失望,那以后很长时间都没有面试,开始烦躁开始睡不着开始盘算着要不回去算了但是又不甘心自己当初的想法没有实现。却没想到应了那句话“成功往往就在于在坚持一下”。 虽然现在的公司不是TOP 500比之英华牛人差距甚远但是我还是挺满意的毕竟自己的努力没有白费,我还是幸运的。

    送给和我之前一样再奋斗工作的人们,Never lose faith。 面包会有的。GOOD LUCK :))
