Ask enough questions then you will get answer

Husband and wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when the wife looks over at him and asks the question.
WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?
HUSBAND: "Definitely not!"
WIFE: "Why not? Don't you like being married?"
HUSBAND: "Of course I do."
WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
HUSBAND: "Okay, okay, I'd get married again."
WIFE: "You would?" (with a hurt look)
HUSBAND: (makes audible groan)
WIFE: "Would you live in our house?"
HUSBAND: "Sure, it's a great house."
WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?"
HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?"
WIFE: "Would you let her drive my car?"
HUSBAND: "Probably, it is almost new."
WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?"
HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do"
WIFE: "Would you give her my jewelry?"
HUSBAND: "No, I'm sure she'd want her own."
WIFE: "Would you take her golfing with you?
HUSBAND: "Yes, those are always good times."
WIFE: "Would she use my clubs?
HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed."

WIFE: -- silence --
HUSBAND: "shit"

All the Sudden

3/29/07

You can never anticipate what is going to happen at work here. Last couple nights, I was worrying the upcoming workload of two new cases, and tried to enjoy my last few days of honeymoon. This afternoon, the boss staffed me an ongoing deal, a deal I don't like at all. It is something related to DAS, NAS and SAN. See, how many words can make out from these three alphabets.  Anyway, it is a high-tech company which I have no interests in at all. Dah, I am powerless on this..can't complain anymore.  拿人钱财与人消灾。我真能消吗？

Past month

Even work were not busy over the past month, I was mentally tired with two major tasks. One: the hassle associated with my new relationship Two: the question that what I want to do with my life and my career. These two things ultimately took out all my spare energy which supposed to be used on readings, work-out and DVDs. For the first topic, I don't feel like talking anymore. It was just tiring! For the second one, it could be worth sharing. Tons of hours I spent on this topic, and tons of people I talked to. Peoples include the living Buddha in Tibet, my wisdom mom, my practical dad, my close friends that I haven't been contacting for the past half year. The conclusions are diverged

The living Buddha and mom: Do whatever can make you happy. Experience your life!

Dad: do you know what you really like? Work is not about interest

Friends: Don't make any irrational decision cuz you are too emotional now. Just Don't think and hang in there. ( p.s. I have been hanging here for my entire life)

Me: Still confused but okay to live with it for short-term... 

Is this the place to be?

Nobody noticed my new jacket I bought from Japan (It costs me over 10,000yan)

Nobody cares what to eat for lunch

Nobody gossips except for one

They desire to make money

They desire to learn whenever they get a chance

They desire to network with high-profile people

They carry blackberry and mobile all the time

Is this a happy place to be?

Few sentences that stuck in my mind from the past few months

-         Your model is unbalanced

-         Your pie chart doesn't add up to 100%

-         Wrong spelling, Typo!

-         Cannibalization factor is the key! (it just reminds me the movie of Hannibal every time)

-         "Price, unit and COVARIANCE! You know what covariance means?" (I don't have a clue of what a consultant supposed to do)

Life related

-         After my food poison, ¡°Ê³ÎïÖж¾ÁË°É, Ë­ÈÃÄãʲôҲ²»ÌôµÄ.¡± From Ò»¸öʲô¶¼ÌôµÄÅóÓÑ

-         While I work overtime on my May holiday, a friend called, ¡°ÖªµÀÂð? Å®ÈË×îÖØÒªµÄÊÇÒªÈÃ×Ô¼ºÃ¿Ì춼¿ªÐÄ, ÄãÿÌ춼ÔÚ¸ÉÂð?¡± ¶Ùʱ¾õµÃ×Ô¼ºÕæ²»¹»Å®ÈË

Do you buy it?

Found out the great similarity between my work and dating life. The way you select your dating partner is like screening the deals at work. Greedy people always want the most and the best. Doing dozen deals simultaneously and gaining a bit flavor of each. And you should not worry about the success rate in the end. One out of  twenty, or one out of fifty are common in this industry. The only concern should be how quick that you can see through a dead deal and move on to a new one. As our big boss saying, "Time is always our bottleneck."  Naked truth for dating at my age as well, although I do agree that is going to be the fun-killer in all circumstances, huh?
