Remembrance Day

1918年11月11日上午11点,第一次世界大战宣告结束,今天是11月11日,大家胸口都带上小红花,以此纪念在战争中死去的战士,这就是纪念日的由来,Remembrance Day。

我们公司10点左右也群发邮件,说11点到11:02分大家保持Silent(沉静)。我突然想到,如果确实在这个时候大家保持沉静,2分钟没有工作效率,公司2万多人,按照小时工资算下来,要2万加元,2分钟,就要10多万人民币的损失阿。不过当然帐不能这么算,不然的话我打个喷嚏2毛钱,重新启动电脑2块钱,泡杯茶5块钱,上个厕所就能赚30块人民币,那就太爽了。

晚上和Alex一起去越南餐厅吃了碗Extra Large(特大碗)的牛肉米线,吃的太爽了,以我们的方式纪念今天这个节日。不过今天在国内还是11.11,叫那个单身啥,噢,光棍节。祝广大单身男人们早日找到美女作伴,女人们早日找到如意郎君。Vicky,不能老玩网游了阿。

冰球打架的录像

总算上传了,冰球打架的录像,不过也就一段上传到了youtube,其他没有什么特点,就没有上传。两个队之间比赛冰球,难免有冲突,冲突到了极致就有两个人会开始打架,注意边上的裁判,不到两个人倒地不去劝阻的,呵呵,听到坐在我边上的Sarah-Beth和Alex在尖叫了吧。

今天比较冷,外面下雪了,草地上一片白花花的。看来还是需要厚的大衣阿,外套加一件羽绒背心身子暖和了,手臂不够暖和。中午Ashley F.请吃披萨,4个人买了两个大皮萨,还剩下小半块。晚上下班以后让Alex带我去了趟食品超市,买完东西回来发现忘记买面条了。不过剩下的面条应该够吃一段日子。

今天不少人都去参加培训了,我老板今天休假,组里面Sarah-Beth参加培训,于是服务组就我和Alex两个人解决问题。问题还不少,接踵而来,不过大多是我们能够应对,有些需要“请示”操作的还是要等Mark回来,以免误操作造成不良后果,“请示”批准以后不良后果就不是我的责任了。

听蔡依林翻唱了一首Angel,挺好听的,我晚上也翻唱了一下,大家捂着耳朵随便听听吧。

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
