deal with girls in my office
July 24th, 2006by Xianyi
mostly girls are from shanghai in my office. They’re pretty, smart, they’re gentle young girls for what i see. But they don’t know how to cook, and they never do their own laundry.haha….one girl told me, her dad still washes her underwear, isn’t it GROSS?! hahahahaha……damn girls, wake up! get a life! but they’re very comfortable with it.
i told them i cook all the time, and doing my own laundry all the time, they think i have harder and poorer life than them, cuz only poor poeple cooks and works in their mind.hahahaha……”good thinking, girls!” they also feel so proud of getting spoiled by their parents. the fact is, 85% of young chinese citizens live with their family, cuz they can’t afford the rent in city, when they want to catch top fashion at the same time, so they follow fashion, but still growing at home. by the way, i was watching “growing pains” at home last week, i don’t like that show anymore.
anyway, i have to deal with those girls every day for 8 hours. sometimes drives me crazy. the way they talk, the way they laugh, the way they eat, speaking of eat, that’s also one funnest thing i ever heard since i moved to SH. girls take their lunch boxes everyday, i do too if i have left over. one time, i saw a girl’s lunch box, it only has two little piece of fish, few piece fo veges, and LITTLE BIT rice :
“is that enough food for you?” i said,
“of course!” she said,
“how come? so little.” i said,
“oh, my mom doesn’t like me to eat too much, and i don’t like eat too much either, girls shouldn’t eat too much anyway.” she said.
i didn’t say anything back to her, just gave her a smile then walked away.
the other day, they saw my lunch box had 6pieces of meat with lots of veges and rice, their reaction was “OMG! you eat SO MUCH, how can a girl eat like that? can’t believe you’re still so skinny. OMG!” i didn’t say anything, just laughed, i couldn’t find any word to say to them, maybe that’s also not worth it.
so, what i’m trying to say is——actually, i don’t want to try to say anything, or try to persuade others to accept my own view. just think girls should get a real life, and do some real shit. cuz no any smart male wants to marry a lazy, delicate female. (remember: doesn’t matter how pretty you are, you’ll lose it someday, but you’ll never lose your skills.)

YoYo,
Hey I liked your entry. I work with all women myself. They can be serious bitches. Just try to be the better person (which shouldent be hard because you ARE the better person) I hope your doing well otherwise. I also think you should give “Growing Pains” another chance. Its a good show…but you need to get to know the characters first to appreciate it. Its also possible that its a bad show and I am just deluded from years infront of the TV as a child.
So take care. Please come to Boston soon.

Hey Dave,
Yoyo didn’t explain entirely that Growing Pains is probably the most famous American television show in all of China. Basically everyone her age in this country knows the show if they ever watched TV as a kid (and most did, although not as much as the kids today). In fact, Ben Seaver was in China last year filming some B-movie that never got anywhere, but I’m pretty sure he was mobbed by Chinese fans. There was even an article in That’s Shanghai, an English-language magazine, in which a reporter wrote about having dinner at Ben’s (his real name is Jeremy, I think) house and talking about acting, etc., and I later heard from a friend who knows the reporter that she made the whole thing up, never met Ben Seaver, never went to his house for dinner, never even talked to the guy on the phone, how about that?

right on, sister!
and nice advertising on gtalk. i never would have figured out the url to yr blog.
i don’t have the same problem at my work. but the few girls that do work here just talk about losing weight and different types of tea. get a life, hookers.
instead, working in the tech industry, i have to deal with a bunch of smelly boys. who have a serious aversion to peeing in the toilet. they seem to like peeing on the floor of the bathroom. and one guy walks around barefoot with a see through white shirt all the time. and another one brings all his exercise equipment to work with him. more masculinity than you can shake a stick at.
