Quest to become the Working Stiff

A quiet day in a quiet office...

Not much to do at work today. Both my supervisor and her supervisor are off to vacation. Updates are done, time-sensitive data QA are done, China Treasury Issues are done....

And I'm blogging, during work, not exacly the stuff of an exemplary employee, but I gotta say, reading Leigo and Riceman's travel log, with a map on the side, sure is fun.

A small announcement:
After 2 months of behavioural interviews, group interviews, preliminary interviews, final interviews, god-knows-what-they-are-thinking interviews, I landed two offers this Monday: An associate position at the Bank of America Global Equity Operation, and a Client development analyst position at Standard and Poor. Both pays well, and may require travel (actually, the BoA position requires a 6-month rotation in Chicogo). I've made up my mind to go to BoA. The position starts next July.

Well, I guess 窮書生 is finally, and irrevocably, becoming a working stiff.

無題

It was last Sunday, 2 AM, me staring blankly at the computer screen while my law-economic paper staring back at me with it's empty, lifeless gaze, when a revelation came to me - I enjoy opening a coconut more than the coconu itself, and radio spectrum allocation is the worse topic one can pick for a term paper.

'麥亂 去睏拉'
我該睡了."

打了一個哈欠
街角的路燈就要熄滅
雨季才剛睡醒

思念的線條
從銀幕上的 X Y Z
變成白紙上的 A B C
點亮所有的白日夢
卻又在沒有你的夜裡醒來

時鐘遺落了時針與分針
我 隨著你的名字老去
