As they say, you can't fit a square peg in a round hole. If your boss is like that round hole and you are that square peg, you aren't going to fit in unless you re-shape your edges."

With so many disaster, you really can start to believe 2012 prediction is true.

I know it's been a long, long time, but time does not mitigate your crime.

Pay what you owe.

Pay what you owe.

I think everyone owes something they haven't paid.

One of the fun things in life is to see how much you can get away with not paying.

Ooooo........100 pages!

On the other hand, I am worried for those on the East Coast. Hope you guys won't sustain heavy damages.

Pray hard people in US will be safe. These natural diseasters are beyond my imagination.

No matter how much you think you've sacrificed or endured, it doesn't take much for someone else to make you feel like you haven't sacrificed or endured enough...and never can.

Apparently, I have a "natural scent" and smell so good to a friend's 8 year old daughter. She kept coming up and hugging me. She must be smelling my laundry detergent? I don't think I'm naturally fragrantly like Princess Xiang Xiang.


Mmm...Moon Cake..Not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, but stores are already selling Moon Cakes.

LOL! You never know, your natural body scent could be a pleasant one. My mother and brother can go 3 days without bathing (with sweat) and still smell sort of powdery. My other brother and dad won't last a hard day of labor withing stinkin'. I have no discernible powdery scent like my mom and start to smell like woman sweat (not terribly odorous, but def sweat) after about 2 days sweating and no shower. How do I know? We have been stuck in the mountains and forest before with no running water. It was cool but not smelling each other.

Your natural smell could be pleasant to others, just not obvious to you.

OMG, that sounds so fun. I've actually always wanted to go inside an asylum.

LOL! Perhaps I will go with my cousins on their annual ghost hunting trips this Halloween...but I'm actually a big scaredy cat.

Haha Somebody said Ghost Hunting? Click Here for Ghost Hunt trailer - Haha...watch for the blood filled bathtub that was from the case about the old asylum where they used to take victims and drain their blood to consume and attain beauty/youth. It's actually a case based on a real lady who did that. Saw this anime some years ago...

Of course he'd be nice and helpful, he was trying to recruit you. He wouldn't have given a damn if you didn't fit his hiring criteria. Like I said, just reply nicely and thank him for offering you a position (that you were unable to accept) and for making the interview process a pleasant one for you. Then add that you hope there will be a chance to work WITH the firm (not FOR the firm) in the future. Maybe leave your email for future contact. Basically, keep it short, sweet and professional. You want to leave a good impression, not a blubbering one. It's nice that you want to work there in the future, but there's no point airing your guilt to the recruiter. He likely doesn't care. He may not even be there by the time you're ready to move, and who knows, maybe a better offer from a better firm might come for you then.

If you're aiming really high, target A&G.

A&G on my list too

Thanks, junny, for the word of advice. And Yushi too! Appreciate your words!

I thought Mid-Autumn Festive is around the corner. Moon cakes have been hot on sale now over here. Yum yum!

Do you all prefer the traditional kind of moon cake or the commercialized ones? My family prefer the traditional brown "skinned" moon cakes.
