A guy I met at my alumni event in Shanghai invited me to have lunch with him at the Google office near my building in Lujiazui. The office was set up a year ago, and despite Google's declining sales and market share in China as a result of its clash with the government, the decor inside was quintessentially colorful, upbeat, and creative. A private chef cooked all the meals cafeteria-style and we chose what we wanted. The place was above 60th floor in Shanghai World Financial Center, a normal office building but the view was good from up there.
There were plenty of amenities, massage room, mother's room, pool table, coffee table, library, and a gym. It was the same kind of setup as you would find in the Silicon Valley.
Somehow speaking to my friends both in engineering and sales, I feel I am much more of a finance/literature kind of gal. I like what I do. I like the people I talk to - they are well read and keep a pulse on the economy and the world. Tech made me dress down all those years and I somehow just didn't get the feminine style and attraction. It didn't fly well outside of Bay Area.
My ex-crush coworker is still on my mind a lot, but not sitting next to him certainly helps. I wonder if he thinks about me at all and if he's perhaps together with the private equity girl. I wonder if she's a spy sent by the government. I need to find my own love.
