Hello, brothers and sisters of J23! Please accept the best wishes for the coming Spring Festival from Zhao Ge! Reading little Yacc's half year's experiences in Japan, here comes my experiences after graduation. In the summer vacation, I took the course to get MCSE(Microsoft Certificate System Engineer), together with Zhu. After six weeks of hard work,(acturally hard weather because most of time the classroom was not air-conditioned and last summer was really hot in Beijing), I finally got the certificate and had the honor to be called by Lao Da and A Jian as Microsoft psudo-expert. Also, with the certificate, I got the chance to be a trainer at ATEC(Authorized Tech Educational Center), which is at the back of new library of Tsinghua. Since I had to prepare for last November's Subject GRE, I did not teach many course last semester, but I still have Zhang Lili call me Teacher Zhao because once he was the trainee at the course of Windows NT Enterprise which was taught by me. Another trainee with him at that time was Wei Xuejun,who was form class five. I like the working sytle as a trainer, much casual compared with my later job at Dawn Corp. You can wear jeans while you work, and the relationship is simple and easy because most of the trainer there are from Tsinghua Univ. And you may have some chance, for example, Microsoft PDC at Beijing(Professional Developer Conference) was held last December, and I got a job as interpreter. My part was about COM plus. Actually I knew almost nothing about it. The day before the opening of PDC, we had a rehearsal, and I can proudly say that although I knew just little thing about COM, the knowledge I got was from Mary Kirtland, the project manager of Microsoft COM group. At the end of last year, the center was closed and will reopen maybe this March. During this time, I found the job at DAWN Corp.(He Guang Gong si). I found this job is OK, becuse I can learn many things, from Oracle to the working style: you have to wear tie everyday.(It is horrible!). Now the job is developing Intranet for certain campany. The back tier is Oracle 7.3.3, and middle tier is Oracle Webserver(it is a shit thing!) and the front tier is browser. Actually, I like this kind of job. So that is my job. Meanwhile, this year I applied for graduate study again. I think this time I will have much more chance than last year, at least this time the Sub score is much better than last year. I wish I could see the brothers and sisters in the States this year. Well, about the rumor--the girlfriend. To tell you the truth, I have no girlfriend, at least not make it yet. If I have made it, I will tell you. Again wish all of you had a wonderful time!
