去年七月五日進入現在這家新公司工作，轉眼間一年就過去，時間過得好快。 去年十月因專案轉移換一個部門，公司同事每一個都很厲害，年輕的都好聰明，得多多像他們學習。新的專案跟中國合作，說英文的時間變少，開會時比印度人講英文的腔很難聽得懂來得容易好多。 上一個專案交接過後都好長一段時間，今天印度人在 IM 上面問我 2008 時候的東西是怎麼樣啊啊啊～Orz blog

你打算在這裡做一輩子嗎？
這是前一陣子（本篇在草稿匣裡頭放了很長一段時間）在電梯口遇到前公司同事時，他開口的第一句話。接著的話題是他計畫去考公職。整段對話中實在不知道該怎麼回應，推文之後覺得最合適的回應是「加油！」 本來想寫些什麼有關自己對職涯的看法之類的東西，時間一久就也不覺得寫下來重要（也忘記了）。
