Moving






We have been in the hell of moving since I accepted the job offer. I've thrown away a lot of things, mostly my clothes, Biajee's clothes from high school and kids' clothes and toys.

Biajee is the notorious packrat I've ever known in my life. His junk filled up most of the boxes. And if I tell him I'm going to toss something in the trash can, he'll squeeze out an expression like I'm giving away both his sons. I think I'll need to just do certain things quietly on my own without informing him.

I had to turn down a couple more job interviews in the Denver area after I said Yes to Wal-mart. I think it's worth it though. It's the No. 1 retailing machine in the world that has no competition at all. I could go there and have a very successful career for myself, kids and Biajee.

The final moving date will be 8 am on May 26th. I'm trying to schedule going away get-togethers with friends in Denver area before that so we do not have to cook. We go to Bentonville to look at houses for rent from May 19th to May 23rd. And I start working on June 1st. We are under real time crunch at the moment and we averagely only sleep 4 hours per day.

情归阿肯色






命里有时终须有,命里无时莫强求.

经过四轮面试,两次阿肯色之旅,与十几位高级副总裁,副总裁和高级财务总监的比武过招,华山论剑,车轮战般的讨价还价和七个半月的漫长等待,我终于决定接受沃尔玛公司山姆会员俱乐部市场及独家品牌高级财务经理的职务.怀孕时被裁员的委屈,大着肚子去面试被歧视的泪水,全家没有医疗保险的担惊受怕,不能为两个孩子提供最好教育的忐忑不安,都随着这纸来之不易的招聘书在谈笑间,樯橹灰飞烟灭.

我们全家将在两个星期之内搬到沃尔玛公司的世界总舵,美丽迷人的阿肯色州奔腾村,开始崭新的生活.我终于又挑起了养家糊口的千钧重担.现在的当务之急是卖房子,利用夫妻关系帮Biajee在沃尔玛公司拿到一个面试.下个月申请公民之后帮Biajee办绿卡.如果一切如我所愿,"王子和公主从此就幸福快乐地生活在阿肯色州了".

由于沃尔玛公司以节俭著称,给的搬家费用非常有限,我们此次只能自断一臂,割肉搬家。所幸我订书器公司的遣散费能拿到8月份,无疑为我们的财政状况作了一些贡献。被资本家剥削了这么多年,咱也拿一回双薪,宰一把美帝。

今晚的任务就是帮Biajee修改简历,争取能明天递到沃尔玛技术部门的招人经理手中。希望我的博客读者们今后全部加入山姆会员俱乐部,取消COSTCO的会员卡,多在沃尔玛公司花钱消费。
