Having to work the weekend before a Chinese national holiday…
…sucks. It’s a strange idea too: Uncle China will let us have our ice-cream, but only if we eat our vegetables first. Next week is Golden Week though, 7 continuous days of golden glittering free time.
Meanwhile, two more days at work mean two more lunchtimes at my desk, tinkering with this website. I’ve added some monkey business in the sidebar (eyes right) which will hopefully encourage people to comment and save me from the horror of the past two days: hitting “Refresh” on my comments window, whilst tears streak down my unshaven jowls, long into the night.
I can hardly wait until ‘WoAiZhongGuo’ and ‘Dingle’ are back from their holidays. Those two workshy fops spend more time leaving comments on here than they do on their actual jobs.
actually James, all the comments on here are actually from pseudonyms of myself and peter, sorry old bean.
Yes, I’m actually dingle. Bet you didn’t know that.
Ah yes, the old 7 days off but work weekends which, depending on when the holiday falls, can mean having to work 10 straight days without a day off. I heard that in Beijing, the government has announced that workers will get 16 days off next year during the Olympic games. I’m wondering when the government is going to let the other shoe drop and inform workers they will have to work for the next 26 weekends to make up for it!
And sorry about my lack of participation this last week - I’m on vacation which means I don’t do any work which means I don’t post comments on James’ superb blog.
But I’ve just posted on my own blog and decided to drum up some readership here, so come on guys, give James a break and head over to Woai for some fun and games!
WoAi- you’ll have to be more obvious with the link there，we’re not all computer buffs http://blog.friday-nite.com/
Neal- oh there’s only one of you matey, that I do know for sure
dingle- essentially we’re all one in the universe, so it’s just me posting comments on my own stuff. A sobering thought.
