不知道為什麼，之前安排台東旅行時，從來沒有想過要在池上待上一晚，好好體驗台東的慢活步調

快七點準備收工時，突如其來收到 Ben 從Teams 傳來的消息，專案大老闆們已經達成共識，配合大幅裁減的預算結果，我們手上的專案交付物，全部得比原訂時程早二個月完成。
也就是說，只剩下不到三週的時間要搞定近百個待釐清問題，還要協調各路牛鬼蛇神各種意見，把東西生出來

七月中，信箱中傳來香港老闆們的指教。
 
直爽的措辭，即便是英文不好的我，也不難從一針見血的字裡行間中，讀懂老闆想要傳達的信息。
 
原來，要在老闆的手中，拿到好的考核成績，客觀要件的達成並非絕對(感覺退回到多年前的職場生態)，公司的資源、策略，以及老闆的主觀判斷，更為重要。
 
We have completed the initial rating discussions with Consulting Leader for Director appraisal...... the service line leadership would determine the proposed rating based on the needs and situations of the service line.
There are a few points to note:
 
1. For financial metrics, ...It should be noted that meeting or exceeding financial metric is necessary for Level 3 rating. It would not automatically lead to high rating just because someone achieves very high financial metric. The rationale for this is that financial metric highly depends on the projects assigned and other factors which are not related to the performance of the staff. Whilst there are correlations between having skills and being deployed on high value projects, we believe that we need to consider other factors. Please note that it works both ways. High metrics don't automatically mean high rating but lower metrics don't automatically translate into low rating. 
 
2. .....staff is compensated in accordance with your skills and experience. The expectations are set accordingly. Therefore, it takes a lot more achievements for someone to achieve high rating than a more junior staff.
 
3. For non-financial metrics, it will inevitably be subjective.... We will consider efforts but we will also consider results. For more senior grade staff, results matter more than efforts.
 
We commit for this rating process to be fair and will be open to have discussions with you if you have any concerns or questions. We acknowledge that there are a lot of circumstances to consider and we promise that we will consider the full spectrum of your contributions. 

好像一直找不到一個合宜的方式，書寫這一個特別的月份。
原本以為經過一段時間的沉澱後，我那被工作消磨的靈感及感受，會再次回到我的筆下，記錄著這段時日。

下班後的時間實在很有限，我是從盛明蘭被顧廷燁求婚的那集開始追劇的。沒想到後半部的劇情緊湊且精彩，編劇也在劇情中描繪出劇中每一個女人在男性主義下的莫可奈何
從現代戲劇的呈現方式，進一步窺看古代女人在婚姻生活中持家的不易，意外的，倒也提點我一些女人的身分與角色。

這趟三天二夜的旅行，主角是奶奶和孫子，其他成員，是挑夫、管家、保母.....等負責張羅大小事卻一點都不重要的配角

農曆年後從新加坡機場帶回來的小包，始終捨不得拆開來用。
總想著等恢復正常的辦公室作息後，再拿出來搭配我衣櫃裡的小洋裝。

有人說，一天很長，一年卻很短

在家工作的生活，增加了追劇的便利性。雖然可以追劇的時間有限，長時間追劇對眼睛和體位姿勢都有不當的影響。但追劇的片刻，可以讓我快速抽離工作上的煩擾，轉換到劇中人物的情節。
This is Us 第四季，將劇情推展到再下一個世代，觸及未婚生子、同性戀等議題。追劇輕鬆，但劇情背後的真實人生，反映出現代社會多元化及更多層面的挑戰。

每一個月，神透過COVID 19 震動世界的各種消息，都超越我的有限，也超出我前一個月的認知與想像。
除了航班停飛、出入境嚴格管控、隔離、檢疫，還有宵禁、對餐飲娛樂業的限制、禁止集會遊行、對離家活動的管理與人數限制....各國因應疫情現況，陸續推出限制個人自由以達防疫效果的各種措施。
