命中目標/Target down


我已經有工作了,但一點也不「耶!」因為我的工作就是找~工~作~。可別小看找工作,那可是全職的差事呢。在英國大部分的公司或機構都有自己的履歷表,還得針對每一個職位要求的資格和條件,逐項寫出一篇自己如何如何符合資格的短文,不像台灣往往能夠一張履歷走天下,一天可以連發數顆散彈或打機關槍,答答答答答答,命中目標!因此,我填一份履歷表需要花上二個多小時的時間,每天最多只能投兩份,因為瀏覽「我的最愛」裡儲存的一個又一個的求職網頁也需要花上二小時的時間,2X2X2,加上中間上廁所休息做飯吃飯聊天的時間,那就 6+2=8 小時了。這工作好爛。

I have a job, but it’s not a “yippy!” kind of job. My job is to~look~for~a~job~. Hey, it’s not easy. And it’s a full-time post. In the UK most companies or institutes have their own application forms and they demand us to tell them exactly how we meet each requirement in their personal specifications, unlike in Taiwan I could use one resume and drop it in multiple dispensers or fire it like a machine gun. Dadadadadada. Target down! So you see, if one application form takes two hours to complete, I can at most send two out in a day, because it takes more than two hours to surf the vacancy webpages I’ve saved in my “my favorite” folder. Two X two X two, plus the time spend on toilet visitation, sofa visitation, kitchen visitation and SKYPE visitation, that would be 6+2=8. What a lousy job.

有你真好
想我在高中大學時
生病只能躺在宿舍裡
沒人會關心我的死活
這三天來如果沒有你
我大概已經死了
謝謝你老太婆
I LOVE YOU
祝你早日找到你喜歡的工作

紅砍,生病才知道老婆好吧?

我也會請全民一起幫你祈福。

謝謝王大和顏孺,我會努力投炸彈,每天炸炸炸。

不過找不到就算了,我去打工也行,目前我想賣鍋碗瓢盆。

侃子,你要快快好起來,不然我一個人買菜都買回爛掉的豬耳朵,還是你比較細心。

Have more patience, it took me two months to find the job that I would want to work on. I almost took the job that I didn't like so much along the way. As you see, its pretty stupid for me to go back and do swimwear designing while 2 yrs ago I left a lingerie company to study womenswear. It will be a waste if I didn't continue something that is related more to clothings by turning back doing 三角,which alot of people didn't know what 三角 meant, a short term of bikini/ bra+panty from me (to cover 2 breasts and one "小妹").

Hahahahhaha, you are so funny!! This is the first time I heard the term 三角. I'm sure maternity wear uses more fabric, hee hee. But you know, maternity wear is very important. Nowadays new mothers want to look bad even their tummies are big. You are the answer to their prayers!

阿ㄨ啊
我來串門子兼哈拉,就看到你的爆破新聞。

我從王大頭的言談中可以感受她對你的愛。我對於這次你跟砍子回英之前,沒能和你們見上一面,心裡有點耿耿於懷…。

你的英文真讚!可以考慮翻譯的工作啊!那天看到某本羅曼史在找翻譯…有興趣想了解一下嗎?

我剛剛趕完一個工作,然後丟給王大頭,因為明天要跑出去玩了。現在偷喝鐵蛋的白蘭地。看到居酒x就忍不住笑出來了,等你回來去喝酒。


不不

布布布布,年輕的布布!終於有你的光臨啦。王大是我的好玩伴,我也好愛她。她經常跟我們提到妳,讓我們也好想和妳交朋友,下次一定一定要見面。聽說妳很會做菜,我們洪侃也會做,到時大家一起下廚,飲酒作樂,絕對快樂無比。我還想聽妳講劇場、騎馬、瑜珈等事,還有討教做人和生活之道。

我的英文不算特別好,就是愛寫而已。翻譯是老本行,對羅曼史當然還是有興趣的哩!

Jenning: after all seeking jobs is a whole bunch of P2P tasks so you need to meet their requests anyway. I hope you find a good one in UK.

BTW I still can guess the meaning of Taiwanese sentences written here.

Thanks for your encouragement, Kenji!! Yes you're right, it's a whole bunch of P2P tasks. Just two days ago I wrote a 3000 word essay to answer their questions, so on that day I could only send out one CV.

ps Maybe you'll learn some Chinese from this blog? :)

我想不起來想不起來。

我今天終於正式....生病了
我喉嚨乾,不能暢所欲言
胸不感覺虛空,想咳
