喜羊羊,美羊羊,灰太狼… …
我是一只喜羊羊,大家都叫我小喜。我偷偷潜伏在灰太狼办公室,每天九点上班,十一点开饭,五点下班,准点作息,雷打不动。我有一辆双轮车,我踩着它——风里来,雨里去,风吹雨打都不怕。我每天两点一线,从家里到办公室,从办公室到家里,日出而作,日落而息。平平淡淡,简简单单。日复一日,年复一年。
论其原因,还得从头说起。想当年,我刚来这里,墙上一排字:周末加班。周末加班?难道我没有周末了?我失去自由了?眼看着美羊羊、懒羊羊、肥羊羊、瘦羊羊,天天聚一块儿,大谈特谈周末计划,喜羊羊我快hold不住啦!(叹气)灰太狼的规矩特有意思,去掉国家法定假日,一年到头,好好工作,天天上班。这不?周一,我上班,周二,我上班,周三,我上班,周四、周五,我也上班;等到周六,我怎么还在上班呢?周日呢,我也在上班。大家说说看,人人都是盼星星盼月亮地盼周末,我却从此与周末无缘。更郁闷的是,去年国庆值班,灰太狼想也没想,就把我七天长假,咔地抽掉一天,顿时天昏地暗,神马都是浮云。不晓得今年国庆,又轮到哪个倒霉鬼当班呢?
除了周末加班,灰太狼的规矩还真不少。话说有一天,办公室铃响了,我乖乖地接过电话:“喂——喂——喂!”听电话声,男中音,不太高兴,没一会儿就挂了。我当时就想,哎,奇了怪了,这声音咋这么熟悉?等一下等一下,视频接入,画面中男中音说道:“那个小喜咋回事?都来这么久了,还只会‘喂喂喂!’”。一位女中音笑着说道:“小喜还不熟悉情况嘛,我去说说。” 吖!没信号了,赶紧收好宝贝。没过多久,走廊里传来了女中音咯咯咯的笑声,还有哒哒哒的脚步声。“小喜啊,咋还没记住领导电话呢?记住,接电话时多看看号码。”哟。原来刚刚的男中音是灰太狼啊,难怪“喂喂喂”后超级不爽。小喜作为新人,竟然没记住灰太狼的号码,惭愧,真是惭愧!可是,如果大家能把灰太狼的号码存在座机里,加上备注,VIP号码VIP称呼,岂不两全其美?
话说最近,我来到无锡第一土马俱乐部,非常喜欢,喜欢的不得了。这里一点都不土,一个个都是千里马呢,所以呢,应该叫无-锡-第-一-神-马-俱-乐-部。每到周六晚上,我一下班就直奔神马俱乐部来了,还美滋滋地收了一大把名片呢。瞧!这位是无锡第一神马俱乐部的酱香典范Lilly贾,这个是天圆地方Jack方,还有这位,就是让人大笑不止的绝品王子Charles周。耶!致在座的各位神马们,我十万分抱歉,我还从没有送过一张名片。说实话,灰太狼虽然常常摆架子,但行事非常低调,从来不送名片。灰太狼不送名片,自然也不会给小喜印名片啦。所以我也是只收不送。灰太狼说,我们的脸就是名片。我们提倡名脸,没有名片。
在灰太狼办公室的一年多里,虽然周末常常加班,但灰太狼也说了,如果有事的话,合情合理,自然也是可以请假的。小喜可是我们办公室的剩女,周末不相亲为哪般?对了,大家快帮我想想办法,能不能把灰太狼也拉到神马俱乐部里呢?这样小喜就有休息日了。
就跟邮局、银行一样,灰太狼规定周末加班,节假日值班,全是为了确保工作的连续性,应对各种突发情况。灰太狼喜欢摆架子,不喜欢被“喂喂喂”。其实吧,灰太狼也忒不容易,不仅要带着我们这帮小羊,跟其它狼做斗争,话说家里还有位红-太-狼!当然啦,喜羊羊和灰太狼都是环保人士。我们的口号是,没有名片,只有名脸!

I am a She-Young-Young, and currently working for Grey Thai-Lang. Generally, I am working from 9am to 5pm while lunch time starts at 11am regularly. Every day I am riding to the office in spite of any terrible weather including raining dogs and cats. Each day I travel between home and office. I have been for a long time that starts working at sunrise and ends at sunset. My life is simple and ordinary, nothing special at all. It repeats day after day, year after year.
But how could that happen? Let’s see, on my first arrival to the office, I read an important notice on the wall. No Weekends. No weekends? How can I go without weekends? How about my freedom? Each day, Pretty-Young-Young, Lazy-Young-Young, Fat-Young-Young, and Slim-Young-Young are so excited to plan for weekends. I could no longer bear it! Sigh~ According to Grey Thai-Lang, we must work all year around except official holidays. In other words, I will be work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! 7 days a week includes weekdays and weekends. See, I said good-bye to my dear weekends forever. Worse more, I was required to work on National Holiday last year. As a result, my travelling plan had to break down half way. Guess, who will be the next in the coming National Holiday?
In addition to working on weekends, Grey Thai-Lang has set up plenty of rules. One day, when the office phone was ringing, I picked up the phone and answered: Hey? Hey? Hey? According to the call, it was a man a little pissed off and it ended quickly. Well, that’s so weird. The voice seemed so familiar with me. Excuse me, a second please. One video here, and let me check it out. From the video, a man said:” What’s wrong with She-Young-Young? How could she answer the call without a title after working here for such a long time?” A woman laughed and said, “Well, she might not be familiar with the rules. I will go talk to her later.” Well, no image again. I turned off my treasure and saved it in back pocket carefully. After a short while, I heard a laugh and steps in the passage from far away. “She-Young-Young, didn’t you remember the Grey Thai-Lang’s phone number? Remember, check the number first before answering it.” Wow, the man was Grey Thai-Lang! That can explain why he was so pissed off on hearing hey hey hey. Being a novice, I deeply regretted for not bearing in mind Grey Thai-Lang’s number. However, Could it be any better if we save Grey Thai-Lang’s number in the telephone marked with a title? VIP number shall have VIP reception.
Recently, I have joined the Wuxi No.1 Toastmasters Club and I love it so much! Unlike Grey Thai-Lang office, it is such an interesting place with so many interesting people. On every Saturday evening, I ran directly to Toastmasters club immediately after work. Moreover, I am really really happy to receive so many business cards. Look, this is Standard English Lilly Jia from Wuxi No.1 Toastmasters Club, and this is Humorous King Jack Fang, and that’s Joke King Charles Chow. Well, my dear fellow toastmasters, I am really sorry for being so mean to exchange my card. Frankly, Grey Thai-Lang is such a stuffed shirt but he has always appeared in low profile. He has never sent a card, not to mention printing cards for employees. According to Grey Thai-Lang, the best business card is actually our facebook. We would vote for facebook instead of business cards.
For the past one year working in Grey Thai-Lang’s office, I have always struggling to work on weekends. However, Grey Thai-Lang said, we can ask a leave anytime provided anything reasonable. Well, could you please do me favor? Shall we persuade Grey Thai-Lang into joining our Toastmasters club? Therefore I would enjoy my weekends.
To tell the truth, Grey Thai-Lang has long been put in a dilemma that he not only leads Young-Young team to fight against other wolf, but he is also challenged Red Thai-Lang at home. The reason why I share with all of you my story by introducing She-Young-Young and Grey Thai-Lang is to amuse you and we can always be a She-Young-Young in spite of any difficult times. Hope you enjoy it tonight! Of course, both She-Young-Young and Grey Thai-Lang are environmentally friendly. Our slogan is “No cards, but facebook! “
