昨晚難得早放工與舊同學聚會,一坐下竟被問及我打工的公司上了生果日報的事。我們上個禮拜上了生果日報的財經版呢!不是甚麼光采的事,而是公司高層因工時與員工發生隔空罵戰。(忘了多謝J說我還像人,我的瘋狂peak下個禮拜才開始。)
不經不覺我在這個行業/公司已來到第四個peak season,雖然習慣了但我還是很討厭不合理的超長工時,可是明知對抗也沒有用,想繼續出糧唯有改變一下心境,不能接受的話大可以瀟灑離場,這個奇怪的行業是大把人爭著做的。
最近看了一本在突破買的中文書: 港漂雙城記。作者是我第一年在公司認識的舊同事,她是北京清華的精英,來到香港讀書和工作,書中道出她在香港的體驗,對身份,意義,和夢想的思考,我竟然也有共鳴,我又何嘗不是常對身份感到迷失呢,記得在剛過去的夏天我曾在泳池邊與V討論過自己是香港人還是甚麼人,我常搞不清自己是 local stranger or strange local, 她說是3rd culture。
我沒有作者那麼勇,能放下自己擁有的,去服務社會最需要幫助的人,我目前還是要向現實低頭賺錢維生啊! 誠意向各位推介這本書(文筆好好,果然是清華出品),書中也有提及我們的非人生活呢(我離開公司後才分享我的非人生活吧)。
知道很多朋友最近在找工作,畢業後好像每三至五年大家就來個轉變,祝大家找到能令自己快樂的工作!工作雖不是人生的全部,但也佔了很多時間呢,尤其是當你的工時超長的時候。

Social outcast stuck in the middle was my feeling when I went back to uni... 不會國語的中文人... Ignored by locals cos they think I'm "one of them"; ignored by most Chinese cos I don't really speak Chinese =.='...無奈死....
Btw, if you have a chance to apply to work in Au (same co), do you think you'd come? :D
hehe.. maybe we belong to the same group... i don't feel a sense of belonging to anywhere eventhough i speak the language. i'm also a 浪子...
haha, would love to work in aus (even if it is not the same co)!! you have referral ma???
hai ar hai ar... x.x but sometimes i really like to have this sense of belonging... cos not so lonely ma...
no referrals lah.. im just a small potato in my company... totally powerless x.x... but i heard that some big 4s le, sometimes they offer overseas positions~ cos some of my friend/s had relocated to other places too~~ maybe you can give that a go?? what do you reckon~? ^^~
