後樓梯的氣味
我公司有兩扇門。有帶飯的日子我都愛走後門﹐因為貪冰箱靠近後門。走後門得走一段後樓梯。每天從大厦大堂拉開防煙門進入後樓梯時都嗅到裏面侷促的氣味﹐空氣好像幾天沒流動過。這種氣味使我立即想起在法國的日子。那邊不流行空調﹐那種氣候實在也沒有裝空調的需要。每天清早一進課室便感覺到這樣侷促的空氣。有時大學的樓梯也一樣﹐講堂外的走廊也一樣。

Summer is leaving
I don't feel well today. I must have had too little sleep. And the cup of coffee at lunch worsened the case.
I have recently been doing a clickthrough, which is a simple version of the website that I'm going to build soon. It is a routine job that bores me very much.
It is end of August, two months after Summer solstice. The sky is already navy when I'm off duty. Taking a shower at night gradually becomes not very comfortable. Blown by the fan through the night, I sometimes feel cold in the morning. Oh no, summer is leaving!
Many ones prefer Autumn, calling it the most romantic season. I do not like Autumn not because I do not enjoy its pleasant weather. It is that when Autumn has come, Winter will not be far, while Summer will not return till a year later. Sweating is not comfortable, but by sweating one feels concretely one's own existing. Rolling up the body in chilling Winter is a comprimise of life.

Can't finish jobs
Being idle, I have been studying how to build a menu by pure CSS and javascript. The process is undergoing for a week. I thought I'd finished it, but it turned out I need a full objectize menu for calculations. I can't finish it! It is certain that there are many such scripts on the web. Very frustrated. Lucky that I'm not told to do so, so there is no deadline for it.
Last week I wore the only old trousers. I got fat accumulated on my waist, and wearing the old trousers was very uncomfortable. I knew that I might need to wear it again soon, but I didn't buy one until yesterday. Because the trousers were needed this morning, I couldn't ask for trimming. They were 9-10cm too long. I fold the extra up inside, then sew them loosely so that they wouldn't drop down. It worked!
Today's meeting was quite useless. Not many important decision were made. I wanted to arrive at the office first, for putting down my stuff, before going to the client's office. But when I put up the trousers I forgot that the ends were loosely sewn. I heard sounds of thread-breaking and of course one end broke. Mama fixed it quickly, but that had caused me tens of minutes of time. When I arrived at Hong Kong MTR Station I knew that I would be late if I arrived at the office first. So I went directly to the client's office. Actually I passed the road junction which was 1 minute of walk to my office. The lunch box that I brought had to be thrown away, giving that it had been out of the refrigerator for 4 hours. I even noticed the smell when it was opened.
Tonight I'll play table-tennis, so I have to bring sports outfits as well. This makes my backpack very full.

Seeing client tomorrow
The first time for months I'm going to see the client tomorrow. I may be unfitted to my only trousers.
