The previous issue of the weekly report was still on October 8th. In this month and a half, although there have been updates of 6 articles, they are all organized from the content recorded during leisure time, mainly based on flomo's notes. The job search is basically coming to an end, and the next time will be spent on the graduation thesis.
After the National Day holiday, I devoted myself to the autumn recruitment. I have lost count of how many companies I have sent resumes to, and I have had more than 10 interviews. In the process of "sending resumes", "resume screening", "interviews", "second interviews", and "rejections", I participated in job fairs organized by the school and presentations held by companies, but the results were not satisfactory.
The reason why I didn't choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination was mainly due to family reasons. My family conditions are not too good, and I have a younger sister who is still in high school. I want to start working as soon as possible to reduce the burden on my parents. In addition, taking the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination is like crossing a single-plank bridge among thousands of soldiers, with a small chance of success, so I chose to directly enter the workforce.
The process of job hunting is very agonizing, with long waits and torment. I traveled from one city to another for interviews, with full expectations, but what I got was "I'm sorry, yesterday's interview did not pass." It can be said that I am physically and mentally exhausted. I believe that hard work will be rewarded, and so far the situation has been good. I had an interview with Construction Bank last week and received a job offer from a relatively large company. However, I don't have much hope for the bank, and I am currently in the process of signing a tripartite agreement with the company.
There is something interesting. On November 10th, I received a job offer from a company. Before that, every morning when I woke up, I would open the job search app to look at the job postings, and even before going to bed at night, I would flip through them before sleeping. After receiving the email notification on the afternoon of the 10th, I slept for 9 hours that night...
I didn't buy anything on this year's Double Eleven. I don't have any needs at the moment. I have never participated in any activities on Black Friday before, but this year is different. Because major server vendors will participate in Black Friday promotions, I also paid attention to them.
I have introduced the use of CloudCone on my blog before, and many friends left me messages, hoping to receive an email from me when there is a promotion on Black Friday. I also prepared for it since the Black Friday warm-up started, and I have been sharing related content through emails since the Black Friday promotion of CloudCone started on the afternoon of the 23rd.
At around 3 pm on the 23rd, there was a sudden flash sale. Everyone thought it was this year's Black Friday promotion, but the VPS released was labeled as 2022 BF, obviously last year's product, and there were not many available. When you clicked on it, there were basically no products left.
During that time, I managed to get a VPS for $17 per year and sold it to a friend who needed it. After that, I never managed to get one again. Until yesterday afternoon, the CloudCone Black Friday page was updated and changed to Christmas promotion. I asked the customer service and learned that the Black Friday promotion was postponed to next month, along with the Christmas promotion... It's just a monkey show.
Since that's the case, let's wait for Christmas next month. If you need it, you can leave me a message. Once there is a promotion, I will send out an email notification, and by then, I should have enough balance to make purchases.
Interesting things and objects:
- October 11th: I was reading Zhou Ling's "Cognitive Drive", which mentioned the work of the "replication" attribute. It only requires initial investment, and as time goes by, the cost gradually decreases while the returns continue to flow. There are many independent developers on Twitter. I was thinking that developing apps, creating blog themes, and writing paid columns should also be "replication" work. If done well, it can generate continuous returns and spend time on maintenance later.
- October 11th: This sandbox game website is quite relaxing. Various chemical substances can be freely used, and various chemical reactions can occur.
- October 14th: Yesterday, I went to Nanchang to visit a classmate from East China University of Science and Technology. There is an experimental base inside, simulating railway tracks and train operations. It looks good to take pictures here, let's take a photo lying on the tracks! There is Changbei Airport nearby, and planes often fly by.
- October 14th: Yesterday, on the subway, there was a middle-aged man sitting opposite me. He was wearing headphones and listening to music on his phone while reading a novel. He had a big belly, and he put his hand holding the phone directly on his belly. After a while, I heard him snoring loudly, and the phone was shaking and about to fall to the ground. He suddenly woke up, looked at the phone for a while, and went back to sleep, and the phone was shaking again. In the end, he put the phone in his pocket, and I was relieved.
- October 18th: I bought FreeBuds 3 three years ago, and they still work fine now, but the sound is a bit low and they are quite dirty. I originally planned to buy a tool to clean the earphones on Pinduoduo, but then I found a video on Bilibili. It turns out that all you need is a cotton swab and a bottle of alcohol. Dip the cotton swab in alcohol, and cleaning the earphones is very easy.
- October 22nd: I watched a video on Bilibili by a content creator named Ah Zhou Zhou Ah Zhou, who interpreted "Journey to the West". Suddenly, I realized that the most difficult to understand among the Four Great Classical Novels is "Journey to the West". Although it is about gods and monsters, it is not just about gods and monsters. My impression of "Journey to the West" is still stuck in the TV series version played by Liu Xiao Ling Tong, which I watched when I was very young. I only paid attention to the plot, which countries they passed through, what monsters they encountered, and I only scratched the surface.
- October 24th: I suddenly realized that changing software icons is not for the sake of aesthetics, but to replace those software icons that carry various annoying ads in the icon folder. The icons of the pre-installed apps on the phone are already very nice and aesthetic, and some third-party apps with simple and elegant icons are also beautiful. On the other hand, those software icons with ads are just begging to be replaced.
- October 28th: "Pure and not lacking in knowledge, kind and not lacking in strength. Hold life high above the mundane world, and dissolve into society. This should be the common pursuit of our generation."
- October 29th: I earned 160 yuan by taking advantage of discounts on Pinduoduo. It was the first and last time I took advantage of Pinduoduo's discounts. I sent messages to classmates I haven't contacted for a long time, and I won't do it again.
- October 30th: I just discovered how useful Perplexity AI is. It is an intelligent AI search engine, similar to another New Bing, but with a better interface that looks very comfortable. It not only integrates search results but also has a Discover section on the left, which displays some highly popular search content.
- November 4th: Recently, due to the Clash incident, the atmosphere on Twitter suddenly became worrying. I happened to come across two articles about protecting personal privacy and not being tracked by others. One is from a Twitter friend named GeekPlux, and the other is from Bearblog. I read them together to learn how to protect privacy.
- November 7th: I watched "The Last Truth", it's a bad movie.
- November 12th: For the first time, I got tempted by watching food review videos. It has to be Wang Gang, his voice is nice, and the videos are very close to life. When he sits down, I feel like I'm sitting across from him eating. Close-up shots of the dishes, close-up shots of him scooping rice and eating dishes, it's so tempting.
- November 13th: I placed an order for a Redmi Note 11T Pro on Double Eleven, 12+256, and gave it to my dad. He is still using the Huawei Enjoy 9 he bought 5 years ago, which is very slow. I have told him several times to change his phone, but he is reluctant to do so. I acted without permission, and when he wants to return it, I will say it has been activated and cannot be returned. I also bought a phone case that suits the style of middle-aged people and will send it back home together. Fortunately, I went through my hands, there are too many ads. I bought it from JD.com, and the price is quite good. Although I didn't pay the full amount at once, I used JD White Bar to pay in 6 installments with no interest, and I only need to pay 200 yuan per month, which is quite easy.
- November 24th: I saw a popular science video on Bilibili: Tetanus. I always thought that you would only get tetanus if you were pricked by a rusty nail, but it turns out that the real reason is not rust, but the formation of small and deep wounds after being pricked by a nail, which prevents oxygen from entering. This makes it easy for anaerobic bacteria called Clostridium tetani to grow, leading to tetanus infection. A wound of 5mm is considered deep, but it still needs to be combined with the injured area.
These are the contents of the past seven weeks. I hope to review each week in a relaxed and calm manner, and I hope that friends who subscribe to my blog can calmly read my sharing and continue to love their lives. Life is not just about nonsense.
The background image is from a word hanging at the entrance of the cafeteria. It's not a big deal, let's finish the noodles first. I hope I can have such a broad-minded and optimistic attitude in the future.
