Beautiful farewell flowers









2 surprises at the (last) day in Central Library:


*Colleagues gave me a bouquet of flowers for my temporary promotion. Aren't they pretty?


* They all slipped into the workroom and standing behind me while I was facing to the wall side doing sth. else. OOP, turn my body out, and they all clapping their hands. What a funny surprise!

升職加(辛)

話說升職已有一個多月了, (不過感覺好像比一個月要長)
今次真的名符其實是升職加(辛,) (薪水基本上沒有進脹)
工作量多了, 責任又重了, (沒完沒了的工作, 頓覺時間飛逝,
所謂 time flies)
路途又遠了, (在knight st. 的駕駛者, 極有進取心, 非常aggressive)
那幹嘛要升職? (難道自討苦吃)
無他是想挑戰一下自己. (看看自己的能力可否更進一 步)
學學新東西; (以免大腦提早敝塞)
工作上擁有多一點自主權罷了. (擁有自主權, 原來有代價)
******************************************************************

忽然想起剛剛蔡牧師說, 神用重價買贖我們, 然後給回我們自由, 我們便擁有自主權.
那麼擁有自主權後, 我們要付出代價, 就是理所當言的了. 代價是甚麼? 如果你有聽
星期六的道, 應該知曉哦!

On strike



I eventually participate in one of the Canadian Culture - Strike which is a breaking record in VPL history.

According to the rule, members need to picket for 20 hours a week in order to get some $$$ ( I call it "transportation fee"). Of course, not only the $$$, but also to show solidarity to our union. A huge crowd about 400 members presented at the Central Library on first day. This is an opportunity to catch up with colleagues who haven't seen for long. Then we say how many topics we can chat for a day long picketing. It is boring to walk around. Time runs slowly. So next week I will bring a book to read and kill some time.

是巧合嗎?

兩星期前, 早上起床, 頓覺背部劇疼. 回到圖書館馬上找physio book appointment. 當天 因 有course 要 教, 所以 不能太早走; 唯 有叫patrons 千萬 要準時, 好讓我能及時離開去看 physio. 這兩位學生很好, 又聰明. 教完課後, 差不多要 離開, 他們好像有問題要問, 我便說, "有不明白嗎?" 其中一個女的說, 你不舒服也來教我們, 真好! 其實, 我 是高級中醫師, 也幫人做推拿的, 要不要試試?" 我當然樂於一試啦, 真的按摩得很舒服阿! 就這樣在圖書館的一角, 她替我推拿了十多分鐘, 因要趕回Richmond 看physio, 所以謝過她後, 便離開. 原來她 的收費頗貴, 要$70 for 45 分鐘呢! 教 這個course 已有2 個月, 那天是"最後的一堂課"也是最後的一對學生, 在我背疼的時候真的巧合地遇上她! 那天的課叫一 對 一, 但我因 時間關係, 改作 一 對二; 結果呢, 她 是一對 一地替我 推拿! 真 的 讓 我感到 人 間 有 情.
