I got a promotion. I supposed to be excited. People around me thought it good.

But I was not.

The new position is Corporate Relationship Manager. What the hell is it? I have no idea.

I could have got a better one. Something happened and I made a mistake. It made my competition weakened. People thought I was unlucky. So did I. I just met it. So I was involved.

Saying anything couldn't be helpful. The fact is it happened. No one could ignore it.

Some told me not to be low. They said I should do the work well and then I would get what I should have got. The problem was just time waiting, they said.

God gave me a hard cheese to enjoy. I could only complain about it that  way. I admitted that I was lack of a little bit of luck.

Now I'm waiting for handover. Then I will begin on my new position. At that time, I will have my own office and resources. That's a completely different beginning. It means I have to do everything from zero.

Everything is new again.

Sad!

Oh, my God!

Save me!

Finally, I have to end this. I have to accept it. This cozy life and working style will be over right now.

I don't want to see it happen. But I have no choice. It's the decision from the high level leaders. What can I do? Damn it! I could only do this.

During these four months, after I came to be on board, I did the job of Personal Internet Banking, especially USB-Key marketing. It's much more comfortable than being a counter teller. While, generally speaking, most new staff must do this as the first position after work. So, I was a little bit lucky.

Every day, other workmates must get up very early and began to work. At that time, I was still dreaming in bed. I could get up at 9 o'clock. Or I could stay at home rather not go to the office.

In the noon, the tellers couldn't leave from their working place. They had to make the lunch disappeared as soon as possible. And then went on working.

In the afternoon, at 4:30 pm, I was in the way of going home. But the tellers would work till 6:00 pm, maybe. Even, in the evening, they must attend a meeting.

The tellers don't know what weekend is. They have to work day and day. They work very hard, but can't get enough salaries and respect. That's their working style. But I fooled around between the bank and my house, did little work, got not very few salaries and pretended to be a high level clerk with holding a business card printed Client Manager in Department of ***, *** Provincial Branch of *** Bank. Many people and even workmates though I came from the superior office as a supervisor. Funny, right?

I worked for five days a week. I worked for fewer than 8 hours a day most of time. I had days off when the festival came. To what extent, I could make some day off if I wanted. How comfortable my job was! Yes, it was that it was.

But now all of these things are over. The USB-Key marketing program is over in advance. Tomorrow I will have to get up early and get back to the business hall of the Sub-Branch which I was allocated in. I don't know what position I'll get or what I'll do. I just know it will be very difficult tomorrow. I will be tired. I won't feel it easy. That's all.

Although I'm not willing to give up the current position, in fact, no one is, I have to obey the orders. After shouting out some complaints, I would like to say Thank You here.

Thank you all.

G.M. Chen, G.M. Wen, Secretary Zhu, Manager Wang, group partner Yang, team associates, and people who gave me help and instruction, thank you. I appreciate your help very much. I'm pleased to work with you people.

These several months, I did things that a new comer couldn't do, I met people that a new comer couldn't meet, I said words that a new comer couldn't say, and I was someone who a new comer couldn't be. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I know I'm lucky. One can't ask for things without give better things.

I'm what I am. I'm a rookie in the bank. I must learn to enjoy pains in work.

We thought we could be in the heaven. Actually, we were always on the earth and now we will fall into the hell. That's what I meant to say in the summary meeting two days ago. I told myself it's the biggest regret when managers asked us what it was. And I'm clear that from now on, maybe I won't get into the building, located in No. 233 Fuhe North Road for a long time.

Tomorrow, I will work hard.

At first, I have to get up early. 

Hey, are they beautiful? I know many people, especially girls, they hold some credit cards because they think those cards are beautiful and like them very much.

I’m a member of eLong.com. I bought my first air ticket on its website. eLong gave me the first impression of online travel service. When I first time saw this co-brand card, I was totally attracted. It’s so beautiful. We could hold it as an international credit card and eLong member card. Of course, it provides all basic functions of credit card. And it also provides service from eLong. You could enjoy utilities from two cards while just having one in hand. That’s so great!

About the details of this card, you can find the introduction page on ICBC website.

ICBC released this kind of card on November 13th, 2008. But I knew it yesterday! Incredible! It seems I don’t know all products of ICBC.

I’m writing it here not for ads. Just because I find some feelings from this card suddenly. I always mean to get a Peony International Credit Card. Now that this co-brand card comes into us, I’ll try it likely.

Thank God! I made it! I typed this sentence in MSN as my personal message.

I’m a little bit excited. Because I passed the tests I took today. I didn’t lose it again!

This morning I got up very early and caught a bus which run to the suburbia. I would take two tests there. One was Banking Fundaments, and the other one Personal Financing. The test was held in a local university. We used the computers to answer the questions and the result would be shown instantly when you clicked on SUBMIT. So I was somewhat tense.

I spent two hundred yuan entering for the test. As a graduate who had learned economics and management in a Chinese first-class university, it’s not allowed to fail such a test. I wasn’t a first-class student. So was the test. But it was really very easy. Although I was ”naked” for the test, it’s unforgivable if I failed. When I entered into the examination room, I told myself I must pass it.

Luckily, I passed them. I didn’t follow the same old disastrous road.

Thank some of friends here. It’s encouragement of you that drove me pass it successfully. I appreciate that. As you know, passing a test can make me delighted for a second in my deep heart. After a short time of delight, I have to think about another new test.

Life is filled with kinds of tests.

57 points! What a pity! I got 57/100 in the test. I needed 3 more.

Last Saturday, I took the test about individual credit marketing authentication. This was the first formal test that I’ve taken after doing my job. And as I have mentioned above, it’s my first test failure after work. What a shame!

I thought it’s very easy and it really was. For this test was just a qualification identification test and the questions in it were all objective, I didn’t spend much time preparing for it. I just browsed the practice test paper quickly in order to know what types those questions were. So, the result was, while taking the test, there’re many questions I was not very sure of. I couldn’t determine which one was right. It’s a little bit of difficult for me at that time. I knew I looked down upon its difficult. I even told one who was also tested that I came for the test relying on IQ. Now it’s my turn to enjoy the poison which I made myself.

It’s bitter. After all questions finished, I click on the SUBMIT button and the result was displayed instantly. 57 points! There was a huge rock hitting my heart at that time. That result was the rock. “Are you kidding me?” I asked myself as I stared at the LCD screen. There were only 3 points to the passing grade. The case analysis test was 1.5 points per one. I needed to make two more answers. Why didn’t I?

I felt ashamed at that moment. The invigilate was just standing behind me. According to the rule, he had to come to check out my points and then registered in my admission ticket. Hard cheese doesn’t come singly but in pairs. That man was my superior and he told me he knew me very early. I was more ashamed then. What I could do was explaining I was rookie and didn’t prepare at all. After seeing my points, he told me that it didn’t matter and I could come again next year. How I wanted to dig a whole on the earth and then dived into it immediately! I didn’t know what to reply to him. After saying “Thank you”, I ran away.

This test failure gave me a wonderful lesson. Now I know we should prepare well for the test before the testing date. Whatever it is. Any despising will be punished. I deserved it.

This weekend I’ll take another two tests. One in the morning, and the other one afternoon. Hope it won’t be my second test failure. Pray for my success!

I can’t lose it again.

Most of you may misunderstand while just reading the title. Yes, I’m Crazy for U; not for someone, but for USBKey. It’s this “U” that nearly makes me crazy.

To my surprise, the first formal assignment I got after work is doing USBKey promotion. Just because of one sentence of the president, we seventeen new comers were called in and allocated to do marketing of USBKey. It’s a big challenge to us.

So many Chinese people, including some readers here, don’t know what USBKey is. And they don’t want to know what USBKey is, either. They have no interest on USBKey. You can feel how difficult to promote them to accept and buy USBKey.

Impossible, especially for those who can’t use computers and most of aged people. Now only two sold within nearly ten days. But the assignment is two a day on average. How could us make it?

I’m tired and worried. To people who are not willing to use Internet banking  service even after I introduce its function and advantages to them, I have no way. It can only be explained that they love queuing with crowed people in the bank lobby.

I have no word.
