winter job and internship fair on library walk
microsoft has the biggest banner
ibm
lawrence livermore nat lab only has a piece of paper with name printed
there was also hcbc, hitachi, blah blah
no google, no apple
a guy standing in front of the recruitment booth of "the great seal of the state of california" (what's that?) and made an inquiry, the recruitor replied "teaching chinese? no.. we don't have that...em, what other languages do you speak?" that guy shrugged and answered "er.., taiwanese?"
er, excuse me, that's not a language.
which reminds me of another joke. when i was applying for social security number, i habitually signed the paper with my chinese signature. that officer looked at me and said, no you have to sign in american letters.

Why do they ask everyone to sigh in abcs? Do u have to do that for bank signatures?
the thing is, there isn't even such as thing as american letters.
haha.. sigh. google or apple aren't recruiting. btw, lawrence says you're a well rounded person.
ah... haha.. er.. thanks...
both of you are well rounded too aren't you.. :)
btw jessica, you still haven't written anything on choice yet.
no you have to sign in american letters.
Typical ignorant fool.
As a proud pundit of the California State University system (sarcasm) I feel I have a right to say that. Perhaps if he/she had stayed awake during grade school lessons on Rome, he wouldn't have said "American letters."
I think you have to sign in the roman alphabet though...some law or somesuch. Like in Japan, permanent resident foriegners have to sign things in katakana for it to be binding legal.
you're officially tagged to ask the 8 jian questions hahahaha ^^
american letters... weird expression tho...
