遊民畫家泊仔送的畫像,在左圖中白鳥的右下方,就是他自己。
我想我是一個認真的人,有時候到了嚴肅的地步。還記得剛入小學的第一課就是ㄅㄆㄇㄈ,老師說下週要考,可是一週過去了,我還沒全學會,急得不得了,回家就發燒了,媽媽還得幫我惡補。下星期老師竟然完全忘了考試這回事!而我至今餘悸猶存。
最近一位好友退休,她在嚴肅這件事上比我更勝一籌,在我們為她舉行的餐會中一絲不苟地討論未來生活的意義,我勸她不必急,不妨先混一混。李豐(寫《我賺了四十年》的那位台大醫師)在電話上聽了我的轉述,大笑道:「你混得怎樣?」我說:「不錯啊!」她卻不以為然:「我聽妳聲音就知道妳還是那樣,說話太快了!」幾十年來她一直勸我慢下來。慢才能品味生活,才能靜攬人生,才能修鍊身心。
不僅需要調整步調,我也想改變自己的寫作風格,輕鬆一點,閒適一點,更多一點生活,多一點感覺。渴望有自己的部落格,不被字數、時尚、市場、刊物風格、主編好惡綁住。大部分是為自己寫吧,也為了分享,至於未來,就交給上天了。

我在消防局性平會議的發言---"優化體能測驗成果"堪憂 Equity or Equality?
顧燕翎 2025/01/22
1. 僅是一項體能測驗不宜追求那麼宏大的目標(成為全球性別平等與效能兼備的模範團體),腳踏實地、逐步漸進或許更能提升消防機關的效能。比"優化體能測驗成果"更重要的應是符合工作需求的體能標準的建立。只追求結果的相同(Equity)—女性與男性的人數相同,無論對消防同仁或對市民來說都是危險的。林業保育署的巡山員體能測驗便不分男女統一標準,也是考量巡山員本身的安全。消防局要追求的應該是公平(Equality)及回歸專業,讓每個擁有專業能力的人都有機會獲得進用、升遷和發展。

Dispatch from DC
What I Did and Didn’t Do on Inauguration Weekend
by Jo Freeman
The long weekend is finally over. There was big news all over the world. I’m not going to tell you about the events you could read about easily. I’m going to write about the ones I went to which got very little media coverage, nationally or locally.
I took the bus to DC last week in order to attend the People’s March, aka the Women’s March. There have been many such marches since the first one on January 21, 2017 – the day after Trump’s first inauguration. That day, so many women converged on Pennsylvania Ave. and the Mall that no one could count them. Indeed, you could barely move, let alone march. Last Saturday, there were roughly a hundred thousand people marching in DC from three national parks north of the White House to the Lincoln Memorial. It was one of several marches around the country.
