1.I_was_satisfied_when_I_was_first_engaged_with_this_“big_name”_company_which_has_once_designed_the_tallest_building_in_China._I’ve_since_realized_that_this_is_just_another_“No_Life”_company_living_on_its_name._So,_in_fact_I_still_don’t_have_a_life_and_I’ve_discovered_that_I_am_screwed_and_destined_to_contribute_my_soul_for_a_sound_job_title_and_reasonable_salary._
2.Thinking_about_work_from_the_moment_I_wake._Aesthesia_sets_in_every_morning_with_birdcall_and_I_follow_my_senses_and_the_ritual_of_trying_to_use_the_least_amount_of_time_to_deal_with_trivial_but_essential_routines;_choosing_the_“best”_food_that_is_easiest_to_be_swallowed_and_digested;_reducing_water_ingestion_to_avoid_unnecessary_wastage_and_thus_wasted_time_scurrying_off_for_toilet_visits;_forever_perfecting_shortened_“byebyes”_to_get_out_the_door_more_rapidly;_enhancing_work_productivity_after_waking_by_bringing_remaining_unfinished_work_that_can_be_accessed_between_naps._
3.Thus_every_second_saved_gives_an_extra_second_to_increased_efficiency_and_output._As_for_any_form_of_unstructured_time,_like_seeing_movies,_strolling_around,_or_even_just_being_in_a_thoughtless_daze,_only_when_the_devil_is_blind_to_work,_time,_efficiency_and_productivity_will_that_time_come_for_me._
4.I_have_turned_so_panda_eyed,_so_much_so_that_even_liberal_coverings_of_foundation_make_up_can’t_conceal_my_physical_signs_of_exhaustion._I_am_especially_numb_about_my_gender,_as_I_was_disillusioned_with_my_MD’s_genuinely_appreciative_praise_on_my_“manly”_working_attitude,_which_runs_counter_to_my_lifetime_pursuit_of_becoming_a_full_time_blissfully_happy_housewife._But_every_time_my_real_ambition_becomes_lost_as_I_become,_against_my_will,_deeply_emotionally_connected_with_the_MD_by_his_impassioned_speeches_that_are_always_full_of_his_acknowledgement_to_those_who_work_slavelike_with_bended_heads_over_heaped_papers._I_hang_on_his_words_waiting_for_tidbits_of_praise_and_after_I_am_filled_with_selfloathing_that_I_am_sucked_into_this_subordinate_and_subservient_role._And_as_a_female_I_feel_we_have_lost_our_gender_and_identity_in_the_battlefield_of_the_inner_office,_becoming_*less,_senseless,_and_loveless,_living_our_“No_Life”_existence._
5.Some_people,_it_seems,_do_have_a_constructive_consciousness_and_attitude_towards_working,_always_looking_forward_and_thinking_positively,_without_cynicism._There_was_an_interview_with_some_CEO_on_TV_insolently_summingup_the_secrets_of_success_“Our_success_is_due_to_those_personnel_happily_working_for_the_enterprise_day_and_night,_day_after_day.”_I_don’t_know_whether_these_employees_are_really_happy_or_pretending_to_be_happy_or_if_the_CEO_has_assumed_subjectively_his_staffs’_happiness._I_ask_myself,_can_work_really_bring_such_contentment_and_fulfillment_to_your_life?_
6.I_still_remember_in_a_meeting_that_our_MD_said_that_the_previous_manager_here,_who_was_female,_quit_the_company_because_she_could_not_get_married_and_couldn’t_even_get_into_any_stable_relationship_due_to_the_time_she_must_give_to_her_work!_She_was_close_to_50_before_she_realized_the_necessity_to_change_jobs_and_priorities._Nearly_50_for_Christ’s_sake!_I_promised_myself_I_will_never_become_the_second_sedulous_example_in_this_company._There_is_also_a_fashion_designer_who_hasn’t_been_in_a_relationship_for_5_years._The_last_time_she_was_in_love_was_in_University._She_has_No_Life._She_doesn’t_even_have_time_for_meals._She_has_resolved_to_break_up_with_this_company._How_many_are_there_like_us?_How_many_“No_life”_women_are_there?_There_are_two_groups_of_women_in_Shanghai,_and_maybe_in_this_world,_90%_have_“No_life”,_no_fun_and_no_money._The_other_10_%_seems_to_make_money_easily,_they_go_clubbing_all_week,_drinking_and_partying，it_seems_this_is_their_“Life”._Because_I_am_single,_I_am_not_a_socialite,_and_I_am_deemed_an_older_woman_(approaching_30),_am_I_destined_to_always_work_hard_with_“No_Life”?_
