Privet, my readers!
It's been a tough period of my life, especially when you are waiting for a job offer from a very famous company! But I got it. I'll be working at John Deere since October 15! I guess that's exciting. But it's not the point of my writing today. I was reading something today and I came up to this analogy of the relationships between men and women. I'll put the original first and then translation of this in English.
"У женщины есть близкий друг - мужчина. Это значит, что, скорее всего, она ему нравится, поэтому он и проводит с ней столько времени. Она же воспринимает его строго как друга. Мол, ты классный парень, но ты не привлекаешь мне в "этом" смысле. Это все равно как если бы человек пришел на интервью, а работодатель сказал:
У вас замечательное резюме, вы обладаете той квалификацией, которая нам нужна, но мы вас не примем на работу. Впрочем, мы используем ваше резюме как образец для сравнения с другими кандидатами. Но мы собираемся взять
того, кто намного менее квалифицирован, чем вы, и, скорее всего, алкоголик. И если не получится с ним, мы возьмем кого-то еще, но все равно не вас. На самом деле мы никогда вас не примем. Но иногда мы будем вам звонить, чтобы пожаловаться на тех, кого мы приняли."
Here it is:
"A woman has a close friend who is a man. That means that most likely he likes her that's why he spends so much time with her. And she treats him like a friend, saying he is a cool guy, but I don't like you in "that" way. That reminds me of this concept - a man coming to the job and an employer tells him:
You have a great CV, you've got an awesome qualification we need, but we don't give you this job. Anyway we can use your CV as a model for other CVs. We are gone take someone who is less qualified than you, maybe an alcoholic. And if he's not gonna be good for this job, we'll take someone else, but not you. To tell you the truth - we never gonna take you for this job. But sometimes we are gonna call you and complain about the one we took to do this work."
Does that remind you something? We all went through the same feelings. Please keep this story in mind - it's a good example of what we are going through before we find our better half!
Your sincere corespondent of life
