昨天下午外出培训，名曰培训，实则更像一场精心策划的平台推广。过程中虽有零星新鲜观点作为 “干货” 点缀，广告植入却也十分丝滑。它带着明晃晃的套路，却贴合 “需求匹配” 的逻辑 —— 我有的恰好是别人需要的，自然而然构成了潜在合作机会，让商业意图变得清晰却不突兀。只是会场浓郁的香水味，叠加午后的困意，让人只能在头疼中硬撑着听完了全程。
培训结束后，我对着地图 “探索” 起通勤方式。地铁要坐十多站，中途还得换乘，进站口更是要步行一公里才能找到；公交则要停靠二十多站，全程需一小时二十分钟。偶然间发现另一辆公交能直达目的地附近，且仅停靠不到十站，可偏偏在我查看站牌时，它刚巧开走，下一班车还未从始发站出发。
最终我选了骑共享单车回家，权当给自己增加些运动量，途中还顺路买了菜。到家时，时间已比平时晚了半小时有余。虽没实现 “提前下班” 的期待，但偶尔换种通勤方式，在陌生路线里慢慢骑行，倒也多了份意料之外的松弛。这一天虽有疲惫，却也算是生活里一次不错的调剂。
Yesterday afternoon, I went out for a training. It was called a training, but it felt more like a well-prepared promotion . There were a few new ideas as "useful tips" here and there, and the ads were inserted very smoothly. It had clear tricks, but it followed the logic of "matching needs" — what I have is exactly what others need. This naturally creates possible cooperation chances, making the business purpose clear but not annoying. However, the strong perfume in the room, plus the sleepiness in the afternoon, made me finish the whole session with a headache.
After the training, I checked the map to find a way home. Taking the subway meant more than ten stops and a transfer, and I even had to walk one kilometer to find the subway entrance. The regular bus would stop over twenty times and take an hour and twenty minutes. By chance, I found another bus that could take me close to my destination, with only less than ten stops. But just when I was checking the bus stop sign, it left. And the next one hadn’t even left the starting station yet.
In the end, I decided to ride a shared bike home. I thought of it as a way to get more exercise, and I even bought some vegetables on the way. When I got home, it was over half an hour later than usual. I didn’t get to "leave work early" like I hoped, but changing my way of commuting once in a while and cycling slowly on an unknown route gave me an unexpected feeling of relaxation. It was a tiring day, but it was still a nice little change in life.
