Back to work

After 4 days' of training, I'm back to office working today.
There was a SRC e-workshop on Open Access this afternoon. Four guys from LSI, Intel, Cadence, and Si2 gave their talks one after another. The intel guy sucked. He spent 40 minutes talking nonsense. More than half of my group fell asleep during his talk, including me of course. When I woke up, that guy was still speaking. The Cadence guy mentioned Zhong's placement tool and was very proud of his work for Cadence Research Lab, Berkeley. He even quoted Rob Rutenbar's comments on Open Access. I'm proud of Zhong too. :)
During the talk, something fun happened. Because this is an e-workshop, every party dialed in. In the phone, some one didn't mute the phone on her site. We could hear a female speaking Chinese from time to time since the very beginning. When the intel guy almost finished his tedious talke, She was saying something like, "噢,还是那个Open Access啊?" We laughed a lot. My big boss thought she was speaking Japanese. But my manager said it might be Chinese. I 装憨.

Comments:
Yaping, I can exactly understand your feeling as working "alone" in Austin --- the only thing I can suggest would be "finding more things that could ever attract you", like games, travelling, photographing, TV soaps, girls, hangout with local people, BBS, MSN webcam chat, doing research, shopping online, whatsoever!

Well, if any plan travelling, please consider CA or NYC. Come over to CA anytime, and I will be in NYC during 7/4 weekend.

Keep in touch!
 
Thanks, Man. I'll come to CA for DAC. Maybe we can meet in June. Good luck with your B-School application.
