这几天刮的风特别大，收的风特别多。
那晚来电时是个陌生的号码，女生的声音陌生得我脑海只能出现近年来的两个名字。
原来是中学朋友。
认识彼此十一年，见面将近六年，同班五年。疯狂过。无知过。而少时发生过不愉快的事，大家也在没痕迹下给忘了。
而明天开始大家会变成同事。多么不可思议。
在各散东西以后，想不到居然会在那么一家公司里，重聚并共事。
我们聊了一小时多，分享了很多事情，主要的还是环绕在这新公司里我即将面对的所有。
一方面我是不亦乐乎，另一方我倒是有些许忧心。

Ready or not
An email from down under always excites me.
是Michael。除了问候一句，他最关心的是我的计划。
我不晓得我该怎么回复他，毕竟我刚刚才作了职业上的决定。
Timing. It's all about timing. "...I would never say no..." But we're not running at the same pace.
Until I am ready, the door would have shut behind.
And things could change easily, their perceptions especially.
心跳扑腾扑腾，提起指尖，点击"send"。员工合约应该是即时生效了。
现在就是等开工那一天的来临。
将来发生的什么事，我没眼看。
只要我铁定30个月后，我现在坚持的，还在坚持着，并实现。

Bargain
I have the right to bargain, but I do not have the power to do so, not to mention I am too weak to negotiate.
The fact is that I have withdrawn myself from what was deemed to be an exceptionally descent offer. And I have now been putting up so much concerns on what I reckoned as complicated conditions of new employment contract: valuing this clause whether is fair, measuring that clause whether is reasonable, on the basis of my hypothetical yet close-to-the-reality circumstances. I could hear that HR lady giggled over the other end of the phone when I asked questions for her finest clarifications.
Do not compare. There's nothing that You have got to bargain. I was repeatedly reminded. And then, I remembered the motive that drove me to leave on last Friday, the reason that I turned down what I had, the intention that would result where I wanted to be.
And now I have another door open, all of the sudden. I said: decision is made, I do not want another option, it'll be hard to decide again.

Crawl, fly high, stop, think twice
六月那样过了，七月亦快到了尾声。我究竟是如何穿梭这将近六十天的时间，得到了什么。
上班进入第二周就已接到老板娘的指示，说我即将负责两个工程。当下在intercom里，我没多犹豫就答应了，ok。在等待senior的briefing时，我开始怀疑我是否有这个能力去担待project，即使是在senior的照应下。
"既然人家给了你机会，就表示信得过你。"
几番劝言也就让我慢慢相信我可以应付这个挑战。
就在所有事情一次过冲进来时，第三周的某个晚上我忍不住崩溃了，一路解释，一路哭个不停，直到车子停在家门。一个小插曲，一个赶命的deadline，一个不对的timing，让我做了个决定。
既然决定了，就不要回头。
我想要的是，从最低做起，从最基本且最重要的部分开始，打好基础，熟悉本地的standard，逐步了解这里的建筑行业。我确实不会怪罪于steep learning curve，面对这样的学习环境都已被标签为理所当然的事，可若要我还未学走就先飞，我想我还未到那个境界。
于是大家开始担心。
我到了一家发展商的公司面试，被一位年长看似职场历练资深的经理揉烂得体无完肤，所有技术性的问题都被他考倒。除之，他让我更深信顾问类的公司才是我想要跑的起点。
我到了一家熟悉的顾问公司面试，当下被offer，隔几天考量多次后我也答应了。
两年半的时间，会很快过。就当是学习的好机会，也当是存钱的好机会。因为，我知道了我的目标，我要去的地方，我以后要达到的人生。
周五的last day，就如前几天一样，没事儿干。午餐则是很形式的farewell，实际上我和他们都存着尴尬的气氛。在怎样也要好来好去。我发了封电邮给老板娘，说了谢谢和抱歉。
