Amazon Delivery

I am so impressed.  At 1:53 PM, I check the status of the package I ordered from Amazon and I see the following:

😃 Wow...  How could an online store beat delivery companies like USPS, UPS and Fedex in their own game?

Wait...  Let me check if the package has arrived.  And of course!  I turned the box so the label wouldn't show.


I use Amazon to check the products.  I use Amazon to do last minutes gift shopping.  I use Amazon to buy items that are otherwise difficult to locate at stores.  It's time saving, and hence life saving.

I am sure Amazon would like me to do more, like access their digital contents.  For now, I am satisfied with this distance relationship, no desire to be more entrenched with a company.

Fitbit Customer Service

Most of you probably have encountered endless waiting in line, being put on hold forever when face with customer service representatives.  Sometimes the ending was good, they solved your problem and perhaps went way and beyond your expectation.  Sometimes somehow we lost the patience and gave up, or the phone somehow got disconnected.  Sometimes, you get serviced, but the result was totally not what you have expected.  😞 I will be talking about the later. Two (three?!) years ago, I ran out of time and idea for Christmas presents for the near and dears.  In the end, I got everyone a Fitbit, a fitness tracking watch.  I heard good things about it, cheaper than Apple watch (& I don't have iPhone), and it was available at Costco.  I couldn't believe it, but my husband and I, whom do not wear watch, have been wearing the watch since. The merry story became even more promising, after it gave me a three month free-trial for Fitbit premium.  Since it...

Google Project Management Certificate

    Several of Google's professional certificates went online at Coursera in March 2021.  That same week, I also started my internship with an early startup company.  All the sudden, I went from deciding what to do next to sleep deprived.  Life is like that, isn’t it?      For those who just want to know if it’s worth it without further reading, what I can tell you is that I finished 5 out of 6 courses in a two month span and I enjoyed it very much.      Let me backtrack for those of you who are going to read more.  Google certificates are designed for anyone, with or without degree, with all walks of life.  Anyone who could spend about 10 hours a week for six months should be able to obtain the certificate.  While I am not sure how much the industry would value Google certificates, the fields such as project manager, UX designer and data analytic are certainly in demand.  Upon the completion of the certific...

Interview Disaster

Update 11/18/2020 - my windows got re-installed... 11/03/2020 It would never happen to me. How could it be? I have been preparing for this. I have been waiting for this. Then, it happened to me. On this unforgettable Monday, Murphy's laws - whatever can go wrong, will go wrong - came true and true. I have gone through two phone interviews with a company. At 1 PM, there was a video interview scheduled for 2 hours, with 3 people. I knew it’s the last stage. I am this close. I tried to soak up as much React, a web front end language as much as possible for this day. Disaster struck #1: The day before, I got a phone call from my sister that my dad was in a motorcycle accident. All of his left side is scratched up. I spent two hours in the morning with my dad, my mom, and my sister to better assess the situation before the interview. I am upset that I wasn’t there to help and that he didn’t call anyone for help at the scene. Disaster struck #2: It’s almost 1 PM. I made sure ...
