有這麼一首老歌:「A Dear John Letter」,開頭是這樣唱著:
Dear John, oh! how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight

………… 

最近有幸 辦一場亞洲區的研討會,邀請亞洲區的專家來台演講。時間日漸緊迫,仍有些speaker資料未齊,我每天早上第一件事便是check email,若仍未獲得對方回覆,便在內心裡吶喊:Dear John, oh! how I hate to write Dear John, I must let you know tonight,你們這些speaker,再不交作業,我準備要殺過去了。

在催促資料同時,分析各國風俗民情挺有趣的。以這次來說,
日本人最合作,會在截止日期那一天全部交齊。
韓國人呢,會在截止日期前先交部份作業,之後再陸陸續續交其他作業。
新加坡呢,也會交部份作業,然後全忘光光,我得三催四請才行。
台灣人呢。反正在國內舉辦,還早呢,別急。

曾聽說所謂一場「成功的研討會」,我是說以「聽眾眼光」來詮釋的成功研討會,只要有三好:「吃好,睡好,拿好」,大家便會留下甜蜜的回憶。其實,以這次NT250起跳的便當,會留下多好印象,我不管,我比大家更想知道NT250的便當是裝金鑲銀嗎?

改行賣便當嘍,我想。


老歌欣賞:
A dear John letter                                                                    給約翰的一封信
*Dear John                                                                              親愛的約翰
oh! how I hate to write                                                              噢!我真不願意寫這封信

And tonight I wed another                                                         今晚,我已嫁給了別人
Dear John*                                                                              親愛的約翰
<spoken>                                                                               <口白>
I was overseas in battle                                                            我在海外作戰

And the battles they'd all be won                                               所有戰役都獲得了勝利
But then I opened up that letter                                                 但是當我打開這封信

I was overseas in battle                                                             我在海外作戰
When the postman came to me                                                 當郵差向我走來
He handed me a letter                                                               他交給我一封信
Won't you please send back my picture                                      "你何不把我的相片寄回來,
My husband wants it now                                                           我的丈夫現在就要"
