I have a really important call tomorrow that my boss is going to be joining and she’s adamant that I know exactly what I’m going to say. Feel so much pressure
That’s an opportunity. Your time to shine!
Go get it

Oh i was cool w/ it b/c my mothers roommate gave me her playstation. When i finally did get one though my mom made me bring it back to gamestop b/c my dad had got me a gba. It was yellow (the best color imo and the one i wanted the most) and I honestly appreciated it more b/c my grandparents brought it for me despite not having dough like that. I would have and actually choose over the gba, but my mom was like "no."At least you had one.

Was the yellow GBA the Pokemon edition? I did end up buying the translucent purple Gameboy color later on and one of the first games I bought was the special pikachu edition. I think that might be the best Pokemon game for game boy.

Online interview? They have those? Do you respond to someone or is it just a series of questions?

I did. I got it for Christmas, and yes it was as glorious as your nostalgic dreams said it would be

I remember my friends had all the accessories for it. I was envious. haha. No nostalgia here since I didn't have one to be nostalgic about.....
Even though the OG gameboy is the weakest, it's still the best one.

nah there was a regular one and a pokemon w/ pikachu, jigglypuff, and something else w/ different color control buttons. I only played pokemon red, crystal, and emerald. The purple see-through gba was the one I had as well.

Like a Skype video call with the manager. I can't speak Cantonese at a passable workplace level, felt like that was the deciding factor

Ahhhh....You had an online interview this late? I use to try to avoid jobs that only want me because I know how to speak Cantonese and not because of my actual skills.

I corrected myself, it was the gameboy color I bought. Not the GBA. You must be a lot younger than I am to play those 3 and not the older ones. Actually I don't even know the orders of them. They made way too many Pokemon games.

The job is in hk so a 13 hour time difference. I agree with you and the guy was like yeah your resume is cool. But implicitly I could tell it was the Cantonese that is the red flag

Trying my best. My American accent isn't too strong but it's there when I speak it. Consuming Cantonese media all the time now to get better. I regret not taking Saturday school seriously growing up. I'm embarrassed that I can't communicate properly with my own people

No wonder. So you're down to move to HK if accepted for a position? My friend just moved there in July/August for work too. It was his dream to move somewhere overseas to work and live. He still likes it a lot and said the protest isn't as bad as it looks, just cant go out at night sometimes.
Based on past experience when I was younger, working for an Asian owned company was a mistake. Asians really like to gossip and backstab each other. So many things wrong in those environment. They really disregard every rules/law.
I know I shouldn't apply it to all asians because it sounds ignorant but even the non americanized asians around here seems to backstab their own friends too, not just the work place.

Same here. But strangely my body has acclimated to the cold better than before.
