For some time, Southern California Utilities Director of Finance Bob Baker had been looking for a competent individual to take over Section Two, Employee Disbursements. Unfortunately, Ken Carpenter, who headed up Section Two for three years, was leaving to take over a family business in the Midwest. Baker had thought about Marty Martin, who had been one of Ken’s assistants for two years. However, Baker wondered about Martin, for the latter was attending an MBA program at night, trying to pay for a Porsche, and leading a very active social life.

我读《乔布斯传》
10月24日我在Kobo上买到了《乔布斯传》的英文版电子书,3天后我买的中文纸质书到手,11月11日我看完了英文版。虽然10月底到11月初我也比较忙,到处乱跑:10月28日到11月1日在马来西亚兰卡威,2号去上海,3号、4号在苏州参加一个workshop,7号、8号在上海参加我们的SPE会议,9号在上海参加半天培训,10号一天接待重要客户……但是我觉得能在这么一段时间里就把这本书看完,速度还算是比较快的——特别是其中我还间或吐槽了一两次。
一、关于版本
有关《乔布斯》传中文版的一个所谓的“卖点”是“全球同步发行”。本来我认为这个应该不是什么问题,而且全球同步发行也是个很好的举措,但是不久我就发现这个实在是个噱头而已。
