A working day

在辦公室的電腦安裝好中文現在終於可以用中文打字。

在IT部門工作有時還真的很累人,今天可是當了一個早上的搬運工,那些monitor、PC case、keyboard、winterm可不輕!serverroom又那麼冷!不過最令人驕傲的是這些LCD可是Made in Taiwan,也只有在這部門的人才知道台灣,其他部門可是把台灣當泰國認識,這真的是讓我無言!

在英國除了私人公司以外,我想這些政府管理的單位可是最佳老人院機構,許多單位的工作人員都是中老年人,我的工作場所也是如此,當然不是指我的工作部門。在這裡工作了幾天之後我發現他們的工作思維模式似乎是有點難以理解(傳統+保守)效率有待.....。

Finally I can type in Chinese after installing the Chinese writing tool.

Indeed,It can be exhausting to work in an IT department. I have been moving some heavy stuff from the server room such as monitors, PC cases, keyboards, winterms this morning. The server room is really too cold for me, but I felt proud when I saw those LCD monitors are made in Taiwan. It is something you feel good about IT people, because they are the only people that know about Taiwan. Basically, I can say most of people from this company have never heard about Taiwan,〝they think Taiwan is Thailand. ”I really don’t know what to say about that.

Since I worked there I have found that there are many middle aged and elderly people in this company, but of course I don’t mean in the department I work in. After I have learned a little about their working style, I can see that every single department has a very different way to run their business. This is I have never seen in Taiwan before.

註:台灣的外國朋友及這裡的朋友偶爾會來我家逛逛,有些悄悄話還是不要以英文說比較好,我想!!!
