This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Bankers' hours nowadays
The purport of the phrase "bankers' hours" has deviated so much from its root. Nowadays (investment) bankers are so used to working graveyard shifts and day shifts back to back. Gone are the days of easy laboring in the banking industry. On the other hand, ironically, many civil servants in Canada tend to work bankers' hours with long coffee breaks blended in, day in and day out. Well, who doesn't want to be that kind of "servant"?
