I guess I shouldn't be talking to you
说她有多讨厌她的工作。
about how much she hates her job.
天气凉爽。
It's cool.
我只是预先假设任何人
I just assume in advance that anyone
做我们工作的人会讨厌的。
who has our job would hate it.
每个人都讨厌它?
Everyone hates it?
是的,基本上。
Yeah, basically.
教师助理工作是一项繁重的工作
Teachers aide jobs are a lot of work
他们几乎不支付任何费用。
and they hardly pay anything.
找一份全职教育工作真的很难，
It's really hard to get a full-time education position,
所以人们在这些助理工作中来回奔波。
so people bounce around in these aide jobs.
我在兼♥职♥攻读硕士学位。
I'm working on getting my Masters part-time.
我快讲完了，
I'm getting close to finishing,
希望这能增加我的选择。
and hopefully that should expand my options.
所以你们都在攻读学位，
So, so you guys work on your degrees,
在做这些杀手级工作的时候?

只是根据一个人告诉我的故事改编的。
It was just based on a story a guy told me.
真实的故事吗?
True story?
真的有一只松鼠生病了，
Kind of, there really was a squirrel who got sick,
但现实生活中的那个人并没有解决它

the way the character does.
那个小女孩是真的吗?
Was the little girl real?
不，她是我编出来的。
No, I made her up.
你呢?

是的，我只是拿了她的手♥机♥，因为她睡着了
Yeah, I just grabbed her phone 'cause she's asleep
我不想吵醒她
and I didn't want to wake her.
她今天早上丢了工作。
She lost her job this morning.
是的，她被打了个措手不及。
Yeah, she was blindsided.
我肯定是措手不及。
I was blindsided for sure.
她对此很不高兴，所以
She was pretty upset about it so
我只是不想吵醒她，
I just didn't want to wake her,
我想让她睡一觉。
I wanted to let her sleep it off.
但我们在一起，我们完全在一起。
But we're on, we're totally on.
是的，她很期待。
Yeah, she's looking forward to it.
是啊，看来你很了解她。
Yeah, I see you know her well.
别担心，我会带她过去的。

其目的是违反法律的精神。
The goal is to violate the spirit of the law.
你要承担尽可能多的风险，
The goes is load up on as much risk as you can,
而且不会被抓。
without getting caught.
所以它们完全暴露在户外。
So they're just completely out in the open.
完全暴露在户外。
Completely out in the open.
他们只是开诚布公地交谈。
They just openly talk.
拿你对企业文化最糟糕的看法来说，
Take your worst idea about corporate culture,
两倍或三倍，就是这样。
and double or triple it, that's what it's like.
这是一个完全不同的宇宙。
It's a totally different universe.
他们知道你是粉红民♥主♥党人吗?
Do they know you're a pinko democrat?
它不会出现。
It doesn't come up.
我在那里没有多少发自内心的对话。
I don't have a lot of heartfelt conversations there.
和我一起玩的人
The people I hang out with
大部分是印度人，他们做的是承包工作。
are mostly the Indian guys who do contract work.
置身其中是什么感觉?
What's it like being in the middle of that, though?
你不介意吗?
Doesn't it get to you?
我想我已经习惯了。
I guess I'm just used to it.
我从事金融工作已经很长时间了。
I've been working financial jobs a long time now.

You just do what you're paid for,
希望这些家伙不会把世界搞砸。
and hope these guys don't bring the world down.
我知道我不会参加晨会了。
I know I'm not gonna show up for morning meeting.
这是不可能的。
This is not gonna happen.
这就是我选择这份工作的原因
That's the whole reason I picked a job
我可以自己安排时间。
where I could set my own hours.
他们最后一次跟你说话是什么时候?
When's the last time they spoke to you about anything?
他们从来没跟我说过任何事。
They never spoke to me about anything.
他们跟你说过一次，对吧，
Well they spoke to you that one time, right,
当你错过约会的时候?
when you missed that appointment?
是的，但他们说那不是问题。
Yeah, but they said that wasn't a problem.
我的意思是，当时他们对此没有意见。
I mean at the time they were fine with it.
他们真正关心的是
What they really cared about,
是我错过了该死的晨会，
was me missing the dumb-ass morning meetings,
很多人都错过了，不只是我。
which lots of people miss, not just me.
乔，糟糕的是他们没有给你任何警告，
Well Jo it sucked they didn't give you any warning,
但是为了将来的参考，你应该问一下
but for future reference you should make
给自己留个小纸条
a little mental note to yourself
当人们告诉你他们不在乎的时候
that when people tell you they don't care
关于迟到和不来，他们在撒谎，
about lateness and no-shows, they are lying,
他们真的在乎，不管他们说什么。
and they really do care, no matter what they say.
我是说，你来这里是怎么…
I mean, you've been here for how...
不是因为这个，
It wasn't about that,
我甚至不认为是关于互助会。
I don't even think it was about the meetings.
这个主管和我一直有矛盾
This supervisor and I have been butting heads
我一直在那里。
the whole time I've been there.
