…cuz it’s just too damn hot. Shiet. Well, since I got nothing better to do, just browsing around and found some good jokes. 
Poof
An old lady sits on her front porch, rocking away the last days of her long life, when all of a sudden, a fairy godmother appears and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
”Well, now,” says the old lady, ”I guess I would like to be really rich.”
*** POOF *** Her rocking chair turns to solid gold.
”And, gee, I guess I wouldn’t mind being a young, beautiful princess.”
*** POOF *** She turns into a beautiful young woman.
”Your third wish?” asks the fairy godmother. Just then the old woman’s cat wanders across the porch in front of them. ”Ooh - can you change him into a handsome prince?” she asks.
*** POOF ***
There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine. She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear, ”Bet you’re sorry you had me neutered.”
The Long Pause
A bear walks into a bar and says, “I want a bourbon and…………… coke”
The bartender asks “what’s with the huge pause?”
The bear says, “I’ve had them all my life.”

今天上班第二天，每天都有很多人来面试，还是比较忙的。
有个来应聘的女孩，名字竟然叫Beauty，^_^，真没想到！我的同事Dean告诉我说她前两天还看到个叫Precious的来面试！简直是无奇不有，不过这种名字真的很好记！
今天打印Regret Letter 给那些面试没通过的人，全部打印好了，一共有几十张呢，突然听我同事说地址那一栏，如果有STREET,LANE或者DRIVE，后面加PERIOD, NOT COMMA,我再一看我打印出来的，全部都是COMMA。简直气死我了！都怪我平时写作文时逗号用惯了，结果到哪里都用逗号。只能全部重新打印。个人觉得很惭愧，我今天浪费了两棵大树。这是我告诉PANDA这件事后他的原话，浪费两棵大树。

Time sure flies when you’re having fun…or hella busy. We finally finished Full Moon, which left poor wittle Nancy in tears. I told her it was touching. Now she knows why I love those songs so much. :p
We spent a good 3 hours swimming today. From 11:30 (right when I woke up) until 2:30. Now we’re both suffering itchy backs and shoulders. In case you’re not sure what that means…they’re sunburns. Hopefully they’re just light and mild burns, but who knows. Very itchy….
Nancy’s getting better at swimming though. She’s able to swim from one side of the pool to the other. I just gotta teach her how to swim to the bottom and we can work from there. We gotta work on her driving, it’s been awhile. She hasn’t driven in a long time and have already forgotten everything.
Nancy just recently started a new job with Starwood Hotels. She works at the contact center’s front desk. Very coolness. I believe they made a position for her when they found what a great person she is. She originally interviewed for a reservations position but was turned down because of her English. But she e-mailed them asking for the reason they turned her down and that she appreciated the opprotunity that they gave her. Next thing ya know, we got a call from them talking about another position. So good la.
Me, I’ve been working on the Company move. That’s been keeping me busy for awhile as well as Nsure Audit and Novell Zenworks Configuration Manager. Trying to get that deployed. Fun fun. Gotta clean up the network room next week.
BTW, I just realized…I forgot all about my tournament. Had a $100,000 prize tournament that I won a seat to. Whoopsie. ^-^;

来这高兴地宣布一声: 偶明天也要开始上班了!俺也有工作了!
自从6月份下定决心开始找工作,断断续续也经历了一个月,发出去的简历不是很多,但也有十几二十几份吧,但是得到的面试机会只有两个,一个发现离家太远,答应了人家去面试,结果查了下地图,太远了,又打电话告诉人家说太远了,不去了,人家倒是很能理解,连说没关系.
还有一个就是STARWOOD,离家也不是很近,其实也不是非常心仪的.因为考虑到我没有车,也不会开车,我心里想的最好是找个离家近的,这样我可以骑自行车去上班,环保又省油,尤其是现在的油价这么贵,挣两个钱还不知道能不能付汽油费.不过离家近的没有机会,也没得选择了.好在STARWOOD离PANDA的公司不是很远,他上班可以顺便DROP ME OFF.
不过人家STARWOOD开始是没有看上我的,一共三轮面试,顺利通过两局后,第三轮我栽跟头了,回到家很郁闷,这可是人生历史上第一次失败的面试,郁闷的不是因为没得到这份工作,郁闷的是我失败了.越想越郁闷,于是给人家HR经理发了个邮件,除了感谢他们给我的面试机会外,我问了她为什么他们没有选我,我在哪方便做得不够好.发完邮件,心里舒畅了,就把这事丢到脑后了,没想到人家HR经理很认真的给我回了邮件,还告诉我应该在哪方面IMRPOVE.
过了几天,人家竟然给我打电话,说他们公司有个另外的职位,不知道我有没有兴趣,不过当时我不在家,没接到电话,只收到留言.我回电话过去,她竟然去渡假了,接着我又去了拉斯维加斯,不过去拉斯维加斯之前,我给她发了邮件,告诉她我很有兴趣,不过我目前不在AUSTIN,意思就是说:”职位可得给我留着,我是有意向的”. 难得的机会呀,我要争取呀! 人家也很客气,给我回了邮件说那回来后给她打电话.
回到AUSTIN后,我打了电话给她,她跟我约了时间说要再见一下面,让我的SUPERVISOR也面面我.后来我去了,谈得很顺利,我能感觉得出来,他们是喜欢我的.当她告诉我工资时,我还是小小地意外了一下,因为比我原先申请的职位工资还多了一点,呵呵,这是不是叫”塞翁失马,焉知非福”呢?原先的职位没有得到,却得到个更好的.这应该算第四轮面试了吧!真是繁琐啊!
四面过后,他们要我去做DRUG TEST,还要对我进行BACK GROUND CHECK,这在中国是没有的.不过像我这么乖的人,怎么可能与吸毒或犯罪有关呢,^_^,但这是例行程序,还是要做的.
今天,HR经理给我了电话,说已经做完例行程序了,EVERYTHING IS FINE!希望我明天能开始上班!
终于可以上班了,在家呆得都快发霉了,很兴奋,很期待! 忘了提了,这个只是PART TIME JOB,每个星期工作不超过30小时,但也不会少于20小时!ANYWAY, 有班上我就满足了,管他FULL TIME还是PART TIME呢.这说明我要认识新朋友,这说明我要开始挣米了,这说明我在美国的生活又要展开新的一页了!

今天兴致来了,决定一个人去小区游泳池游泳,拿好毛巾,擦好防晒霜,走到游泳池边,竟然一个人没有,嘿,太好了,我一个人的游泳池!
打开游泳池的门,发现有两人坐在那.
其中有个人也看到我了,走过来跟我说抱歉.游泳池今天关闭,因为有人poo poo在游泳池,正在清理打扫!
我倒!怎么会?
唉!扫兴!

借着PANDA去拉斯维加斯出差的光,我又跟着去潇洒了一通,除了吃到我梦寐以求的正宗中国菜,看到PANDA可爱的家人,稍微地”豪赌”了一下外,我体验到了一次让我久久不能忘怀,舒畅无比的SPA. 在这里我要特别感谢PANDA的妹妹yi jiejie,因为她的特别安排,让我享受了一次,腐败了这一次. 她不但帮我预定好了一个SWEDISH 全身MASSAGE 和一个CLARIFYING FACIAL,连费用和小费都一起付掉了,更加难得的是她还发了EMAIL给我,告诉我去往那个酒店的路线以及去SPA要注意的小TIPS,这么的周到和细心令我感动不已!
去SPA的当天是PANDA妈妈和我一起去的,SPA位于JW MARRIOT酒店里面,实际上是赌场与酒店的集合. 虽然当天的天气很热,但到达酒店停车场后却有一种凉爽的世外桃源的感觉.虽然拉斯维加斯地处沙漠地区,如果坐飞机经过只会看到满眼的棕黄色,而这个酒店周围确是绿树如茵,郁郁葱葱,给人无比清爽的感觉.
SPA区的服务员很有礼貌和素养,得知我们首次到来,首先带我们参观了他们的设备设施,并作了简单介绍. 接着给了我们物品柜的钥匙及拖鞋,我们换好浴袍和拖鞋后,离我们预约的时间还有十几分钟,我就拿了个嘎拉苹果啃起来. 除了苹果外,还有橙,桃等各种水果饮料及矿泉水提供给客人,水果都很新鲜,看着蛮舒服的.
到了我们约定的时间,有服务员引领我们到一个房间,接着为我们按摩的THERAPIST就进来了,他们作了自我介绍后,就告诉我们把浴袍脱掉,连BRA也要脱掉哦,然后趴在按摩床上盖上被子就可以了.然后他们就出去了,说等一下他们进来会敲门,让我们take our time. 在要不要脱BRA这个问题上,我犹豫了半天,但还是决定不脱就趴到了床上,钻进了被窝.过了一会,我们的按摩师就来敲门了,征得我们允许后他们就进来了.然后就开始了80分钟的按摩. 我的按摩师是个女孩子,妈妈的是个男的,房间里灯光调得很暗,随着按摩师专业到位的按摩手法,我有点处于半睡眠状态了.我的按摩师征得我同意后,还是把我比基尼泳衣的带子解掉了,不然没法顺利按摩,不过她真的很专业,我一点都没觉得尴尬.他们按摩身体某个部位时,其它部位都会帮你用被子盖得好好的.而且灯光那么暗,也不担心走光了,^_^! 80分钟,全身按摩,从头到脚,舒服得一塌糊涂,当我正当ENJOY的时候,我的按摩师告诉我已经结束了,让我躺着休息一会.那时的感觉真得可以用失落来形容,好希望再多几个小时啊!
接下来就是FACIAL了,不过这个就没有MASSAGE那么舒服了,我的额头和鼻子部位有很多黑头和白色脂肪粒,美容师在帮我作清洁时,为了去掉这些”垃圾”,可没少折腾我的额头鼻子,痛得我眼泪快流出来,不过为了美,没办法哦,我忍呗! 处理掉黑头后,后面就比较享受了,敷面膜时,因为时间比较长一点,她就帮我按摩手臂和手掌,按摩好后,面膜也敷好了,涂上护肤品,FACIAL就结束了.一共50分钟,不过我也觉得满快的.值得一提的是,在我刚躺下来做面膜时,他们会为你戴上塑料手套,里面有很多乳液,这样你的手就浸泡在乳液里,然后他们再帮你带上一副加热的手套,所以等做完FACIAL后,你的手也变得软软的.
接下来就是自己”自由活动”了,我去体验了干蒸(SAUNA),湿蒸(STEAM),JACUZZI,冷水池,瀑布浴(FALL SHOWER)等等,印象深刻的是这个FALL SHOWER, 水龙头装得有两米多高,水量很大,所以冲下来时力量特别大,就像瀑布冲下来一样.据说对于肌肉酸痛的人特别有效,是特别好的水力按摩,不过我站在下面不到两分钟就跑出来了,打在身上实在太痛了,受不了.妈妈倒是在里面呆了蛮长时间,她说她的背正好有点酸,按一下蛮舒服.
有个肥婆老外竟然全裸在蒸桑拿,不过因为水汽很重,我也没太在意,令我大跌眼睛的是,当我去游泳池时,她竟然也去了,全身一丝不挂,连条游泳裤都没穿,实在太强了!
最后洗澡出去.他们那里的洗发水,护发素还有洗身体的味道都很好闻,我特别喜欢,洗好澡后还有乳液可以擦身体,有卷发棒卷头发,有啫哩给头发作造型,各种东西非常齐全,环境也很干净,真的很喜欢那里.
希望下次还有机会再去,我爱SPA,再次感谢怡姐姐:)
