recent situation-looking for a new job My recent situation is awful. I sent the resignation letter to my boss at the beginning of this month for some personal reason, meanwhile I have not found the new job yet. And it is said that at present it is not easy to find a suitable place as for the telecommunication domain. Yesterday I had a conversation with the HR and expected that I could get an transfer to another group within the company. Because the group I worked in now is not the right group in terms of the projects experiences I got before. But even in the new group I have to work abroad almost two thirds of the whole year. I had a discussion with my wife, she was a little conservative, at the first moment she did not agree with my resignation unless I found the new job. But she thought travelling so much time was also not acceptable. It seems that I have been in a dilemma, should I leave this company or should I transfer to another group and coutinue to work in this company? It is really hard to make the decision. This morning I made some phone calls with my schoolmates and my ex-collegues. I told them the things I went through these three months, some of them were very astonished, they still did not believe that the working strength was so hard, and the working overtime without extra paid was common things. But they also told me that it is not the good time for job-hopping by reason that lots of foreign company are cutting stuff to reduce the cost. This is the top issue that I have been worrying for a few days. Although there is one-month job transition, I will be out of job in about 2 weeks. I have five-year working experience, without any break during these five years. Sometimes I think it is time to put the job aside, follow your heart and do something really you interested in. Finally, make a wish that I could find a suitable job in the next two months. Everthing is going fine. I hope so.

Do you always feel sleepy? I have been confused about this problem for a long time. I always feel sleepy from time to time, especially after I started my job career. At first, I thought that was because I did not have plenty of time as I had before when I was in university. So I started to sleep early, but the next morning I still felt very sleepy, it seemed that no matter how long I slept, I still easily fell into a doze, especially in the afternoon. (Actually, everyday I take a nap at noon, but 30 minites later after I wake up, I doze off again) I asked for some other collegues and friends about this problem, they also have it. But I totally do not agree with the method they use to drive away the fatigue. Almost 80% of the people I resort to tell me to drink some coffee, with whose taste I cannot tolerate. And the other 20% tell me to do some exercises, but with doing some exercises, I feel not only sleepier but also exhausted. Until now I do not figure out an effective way yet. And at this moment, my eyes are dry and half closed. It is said that this problem is very common for the person in the cube, because the working stress is hard and they have to sacrifice a lot of sleeping time to meet the deadline, and the sense of fatigue is accumulated. More and more young people die from overwork due to the irregular work and rest schedule. What I want to say here is, doing more sports and keep in fit, stay away from the overwork and spend more time with your beloved.

The life and the seesaw The whole life is just like walking on the seesaw, you have to start from the lower side and head for the higher one. With each step, it becomes more and more difficult to make the next move. Later you will find that you can never stand still at the highest point that you can see. When you think you are getting higher and higher, in fact, you have already gone into a nose dive. The higher place you stay, the harder you can keep the balance. After the struggle for many times, you will find it is the hardest thing in the world to stay at the high spot cause you always lose your balance so easily. BUT there do exist anohter way to stay at the high spot on the seesaw, that is there is someone supporting you at the low place of the seesaw, it might be your family, your lover or the enemy you defeated before. And eventually you will realise that once you get the balance point, you are already at the highest spot.

my new desktop The old one has accompanied for almost 7 years, which I brought in ZhongGuanCun electronic market when I just started my postgraduate study. Recently there always came out some wield sounds when I switched on my desktop, and one of my college roommate also gave me advice that I should change for a new one. He told me that I could spend less money to get the performance improved to a large extent. So at the time of price war on e-business, I selected some componnets of the desktop to DIY a new desktop on my own. Frankly speaking, I almost forgot how to build the whole computer cause the last self-assembled desktop was made about 10 years ago. At that time, the personal PC was still not so popular as today. 80% of my classmates bought the computer and assembled on his own. The conjuction of the components and connection of the cable is almost the same as before, but the interfaces become more and more various, there is even no interface for my old CD-ROM. And the installment of the operation system can be done by a USB instead of the compact disc. Right now, all the building blocks are ready except the hard disk, because when I was about to buy new HD, the price had increased, I felt very uncomfortable. This is the normal phychological phenomena. So excited to get my new desktop ready but still do not know when can be ready. A little frustrated, still need to download the win7 OS from the Internet. Hopefully all this could be done by the end of this week.

dragon boat festival In my memory, it seems that the dragon boat festival is not a big day. When I was a child, our family just eat some zongzi and the red eggs all together. Until now I still do not understand why the egg is red. On that day there should be a dragon boat race, but I have never seen it once. My grandmother is very versatile, she made the zongzi all by herself. When I was little, normally we put the jujube in the zongzi and eat with some sugar. But now, we can put almost everything in it, such as pock, salty yolk, even chocolate. However, the taste of this new-style zongzi is not as good as that made by my grandmother. What's more, the price of the zongzi became increasingly higher and higher. After I came to Beijing for my college study, I have no oppotunity to eat the zongzi made by my grandmother, but in order to add some festival atmosphere, I bought four in the supermarket but finally I only ate one. I miss the good old days when I was in my hometown, I could play games with my brothers and sisters, I could share a family dinner with all my relatives.

Rainy season in Beijing I just came back to Beijing from Korea last Saturday, and ever since then until now, I found that Beijing has its rainy season too. How could this be possible? In the past 12 years, I hardly used the umbrella. The weather these days remind me of my hometown, at this moment, it drizzles from the beginning of March to the end of May. It is very annoying because you can not go outing with your friends or your families to enjoy the magnificent landscape of spring. It is said that tomorrow will be a nice day, and the temperature will increasingly higher and higher. I hope so. Following there will be a three-day holiday for Chinese people due to the Dragon boat festival is coming. This is a traditional festival in memory of QuYuan, on this day, every man will eat the rice dumpling, but I don't know why.
