澳沃达丰员工大放厥词: A Vodafone store employee who describes himself as the telco's "social media expert" and "ambassador" has been deriding (to speak of or treat with contempt, mockery, or ridicule; scoff or jeer at. ) customers on Twitter and Facebook as "mentally retarded" and threatened them with a "pimp slap 扇耳光(To slap powerfully in the face; to deliver a pimp slap to. ) backhand( (forehand) I. 反手.

The reverse side of the human hand. V. to slap with the back of one's hand. )". He also wrote articles and reviews for Vodafone's blog but the telco says his "self-appointed" title自命的, 自封的 of "social media expert" was "not endorsed by the company". "HTC rep just walked in get ready for another hour of blabbering( 滔滔不绝的说些无用的话. I. to run one's mouth in such a way as to (inadvertently/unintentionally) spoil a surprise. II. A person who blabs; a tattler; a telltale. ) about what are the worst phones on the market," he wrote yesterday at 1:19pm. A minute or so later he derided a casual employee he was working with at the store that day. "She changes music & puts on this filthy emo music (Emo (['i:mou]关于emo指人的时候的意思, 参考链接) is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multiplatinum acts and groups with disparate styles and sounds. In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior. ). Literally want to neck ( I. To hang by the neck; strangle; kill, eliminate. II. (US) To make love; to snog; to intently kiss or cuddle. Alan and Betty were necking in the back of a car when Betty's dad caught them. III. To drink rapidly. ) myself," he writes. But his harshest barbs尖酸刻薄的话 ( A hurtful or disparaging remark. ) were reserved for customers. "To top it off ( top off I. (US) to fill completely; to fill or refill the final portion of something not empty. The waitress topped off my coffee every few minutes. II.

Asking me to message people for them. Creating contacts for them and dictating me to enter the contact names then screaming at me when I spell it wrong. Speak English idiot!" His rage continued on to Facebook, where his profile was open to the public. He wondered in a post yesterday whether "the local mental institution shut down today or something". "If I have to serve another person who repeats everything I say like a parrot or I have to explain the same thing to them more then 6 times somebody is going to cop a pimp slap backhand," he wrote. "It's starting to get extremely frustrating right now. Don't buy a phone IF you have absolutely no idea how to even use the most simple of functions." It doesn't appear to be a momentary lapse of judgment失于判断(lapse A temporary failure; a slip.) as in February this year he tweeted that "some European women would be drop dead gorgeous if they didn't open their mouth to speak". "Ugliest voices I've heard in my life. Served an amazing Brazillian with a booty ( I. (slang) The buttocks, usually that of a female. You got a big ol' booty. II. (slang, not countable) A woman, considered as sexual partner or sex object. ) but when she opened her mouth eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr....," he continued. On Facebook and on Twitter he lists another role at Vodafone, "TNT Ambassador". He describes this as: "Front-line for technological queries for Vodafone AU. Lending my ideas on how to sell the latest phones on the market as well as checking out what's to come." He writes on LinkedIn "since I am a part of the Y Generation I have the knowledge in technology and handsets that allows me to generate content for the [Vodafone] blog". Of his retail sales experience at Vodafone, he writes that he has "learnt to have a certain etiquette when it comes to communicating" with customers. A Vodafone spokesman said the telco welcomed feedback from its customers and employees in any forum but was "disappointed" with Mr Kotsopoulos' views, which did not reflect those of the company不反映公司的观点. "We will be following up with Mr Kotsopoulos on why he expressed these views," the spokesman said. On his Facebook "about" section he lists the things he hates. These include Australia ("and the scum people that populate it") and the internet ("full of keyboard heroes, idiots who think they are actually something special coz they can swear"). Social media expert Tiphereth Gloria, from VML Australia, said Mr Kotsopoulos' social media experience meant he had no excuse for not knowing what he was doing. "It's like he wants people to see his rants厥词 and he probably thinks his managers are not going to notice or he's egotistical enough to think he can get away with it," she said. "I don't know what their [Vodafone's] internal and external social media policies are, but some of the things he is saying publicly are racist and sexist and hardly appropriate for someone who's identifying themselves as working for a corporation." Ms Gloria recommended companies have clear social media policies that link to their general HR policies. She said spot checks ( 点测. 随机随时抽测. 抽查. An inspection or investigation that is carried out at random or limited to a few instances.) on personal social media channels should be carried out by managers when employees have identifying bios showing the company details. Anthony Mason, manager of digital research and analysis at social media monitoring firm SR7, said this incident would damage the reputation of Vodafone in the eyes of consumers, business clients and employees. "Incidents such as these should further crystallise ( I. To cause to form crystals or assume a crystalline structure. II. 定义. 明确. To give a definite, precise, and usually permanent form to: The scientists finally crystallized their ideas about the role of the protein. III. 裹糖了的. To coat with crystals, as of sugar.) the high potential for social media risk, particularly stemming from employee activity, to damage corporate brands," he said. "This risk is not limited to brand damage either; employees are the key source of corporate information leakage on social media platforms." Mr Mason said companies could implement intelligence monitoring tools that detect risky posts or accounts and provide early warnings. In a new comment provided after publication of this article, Vodafone said it had suspended Kotsopoulos pending a full investigation. It apologised for anyone who was offended by the comments, which the telco said it was "appalled" by and "clearly contravene Vodafone social media policy and guidelines行为准则 for acceptable conduct by employees".
A boy went walkabout: His parents say although he had been depressed, his disappearance from home was completely out of character. His parents said they did not know what sparked his disappearance. "We've pretty much been continually looking, just in disbelief that不相信, 难以相信 this could happen because it's just not him". Nor did they know what had caused his depression. "I don't know of a trigger but I just put it down to归因于, 归结于 being a teenager a lot of the time," she said.
网络故事: I was just starting my junior year at a four-year prep school in New England. The dorm rooms each housed two boys and were all paired off ( pair off [for two people or other creatures] to form a couple or pair. All of them paired off and worked as teams to solve the puzzle. Everyone should pair off and discuss the issue for a while. ) with an adjoining bathroom. The common rule was that bathroom doors were always kept closed and, when in use, locked, if privacy was desired. During your freshman year, however, you soon learned that you had to allow others free access to the bathroom and overcome your shyness克服害羞. You became nonchalant无所谓的, 无可无不可的(casually unconcerned or indifferent; uninvolved. ), for example, about a "roomie" coming in during your shower to piss, shave, brush teeth, etc., and vice-versa. Bathroom doors were usually locked for only one reason-well, two, really, but one was a pretense for the other. Of course, we occasionally saw each other naked when dressing or sharing the bathroom, but, otherwise, we practiced common modesty and decorum( [di'kɔ:rəm] n. I. propriety, esp in behaviour or conduct. II. a requirement of correct behaviour in polite society. ). I think the school administrators tried to pair upper- and lower classmen(高低年纪混住), for the "mentoring" factor. When I returned from chow( Food, especially snacks. I'm going to pick up some chow for dinner. ) to the seemingly deserted dorm, I entered my room, kicked off my Nikes, turned on the stereo, then opened the bathroom door. I knew Winston was staying over the weekend. I had, momentarily(有那么一刻 for one moment), imagined hanging out with him, but, though he was gregarious ( I. 喜欢结交的, 好交朋友的. (of a person) Describing one who enjoys being in crowds and socializing. II. (zoology) Of animals that travel in herds or packs.) and friendly with everyone, he usually only associated with those his classmen or older. Besides that, Winston was commonly seen outside of school in the company of one or more girls, from the plain to the gorgeous. When I stepped over to close their door, I could see, in the high-intensity desk lamp light flooding his lap, that he was fondling, with his left hand, a quite large erection. I blinked and squinted, questioning what I was seeing. I swung the door with normal force, catching it just before it closed, and pushed it shut as quietly as I could. I immediately tried to put the incident out of my mind, discounting ( 大事化小. 小事化了. a. To leave out of account as being untrustworthy or exaggerated; disregard: discount a rumor. b. To underestimate the significance or effectiveness of; minimize: took care not to discount his wife's accomplishments. c. To regard with doubt or disbelief. ) it as an unfortunate happenstance不幸事件. When I returned to my room, however, my mind was, unavoidably, flooded with questions, the possible answers to which further perplexed and perturbed me. During the first hour or so of mulling over these questions, I heard Winston taking a shower, then running the sink faucet off and on. Finally, there was a knock on the inside of my bathroom door. I bolted out of my uneasy meditation. "Come in!" I blurted out, with trepidation( [,trɛpi'deiʃən] I. a state of fear or anxiety. II. a condition of quaking or palpitation, esp one caused by anxiety. ). Winston appeared, neatly coifed and dressed. "Hey, dude, I'm going out我要出门. Could you do me a favor and answer my phone, in case my parents call, so they don't just get my machine? They hate that, when they're abroad. I'll leave the doors open, since nobody else is here."The stark contrast between the scene I had witnessed just an hour before, with the bland, normalcy of everyday conversation with which Winston approached me, almost made his words sound foreign. Struggling out of its internal confusion, my reeling brain slowly deciphered his request. "Okay?" he appended. After our verbal exchange, my foreseen uneasiness about facing Winston socially had subsided平息, but, I was still confused. I pondered the situation deep into the night. Usually, I eagerly took the opportunity of an empty dorm to mastur* freely and uninhibitedly( I. Open and unrestrained: uninhibited laughter. II. Free from traditional social or moral constraints. ) in my room, but persistent questions about what I had witnessed earlier annoyingly distracted me enough to inhibit my ability to relieve myself. I finally fell asleep, mentally exhausted, before midnight. Starkly awake, I was instantly, and with unmistakable clarity, convinced that the earlier event of this night had been completely contrived for my benefit. The questions I had kept asking myself had distilled down, after my long musings, to the last two questions: Why was the door open at all?, and, Did he want me to see him?, and the last had to be answered, "YES!" I immediately began mas-ting, with abandon(不顾一切的. an action done without concern or an action done carelessly/flippantly. The drunk girl threw off her clothes with abandon, as the alcohol had lowered her inhibitions.), sensing Winston's presence in the next room, the indelible ( [inˈdɛlibəl] 挥之不去的. 无计消除的. I. incapable of being erased or obliterated. II. making indelible marks indelible ink. obliterate [ə'blitəˌreit] vb (tr) to destroy every trace of; wipe out completely. oblivious [ə'bliviəs] 无意识的状态. adj. (foll by to or of) unaware or forgetful. oblivion [əˈblɪvɪən] sink into oblivion Fig. to fade into obscurity. She may be famous now, but in no time she will sink into oblivion. In his final years, Wally Wilson sank into oblivion and just faded away.) vision of his engorged c8k imprinted in my memory, and with the vaguely expectant fantasy of his desire for se7ual contact. The following day, Saturday afternoon, I spent on the soccer field, honing磨练 my skills( I. To sharpen on a fine-grained whetstone. II. To perfect or make more intense or effective: a speaker who honed her delivery by long practice.). I returned to my room to shower before chow, only to find, once again, the opposite bathroom door open. There, again, was Winston, completely nude, this time, slumped down in his chair, legs straight out, in front of his computer, obviously mas8ating his ample co6k. This time, his eyes momentarily, almost imperceptibly难以察觉的, shot over to mine. I slammed the door in an instinctive fit of defiance, knowing that he was erotically manipulating me. Although uneasy about it, I found the look on his face powerfully magnetic. I showered quickly, knowing that I would surely succumb to Winston's advance, but completely unsure of what that would entail. I dried off擦干, donned a T-shirt and gym shorts, opened his door, quietly entered his room and strode slowly to the side of his chair. In this position, he gently coaxed me, helplessly, backward, to the foot of his bed, his full erection bobbing, heavily, as he stepped. He rested both of his hands on my shoulders, and I sank to the bed. He, gingerly小心翼翼的(With great care or delicacy; cautiously.), pushed me into a reclining position. I lay there, dizzy with the confused emotions accompanying finding myself in this odd situation; but those feelings were gradually overcome by my unadulterated ( I. Not mingled or diluted with extraneous matter; pure. II. Out-and-out; utter: the unadulterated truth.), carnal lust. Soon, there was a small puddle( 一小摊 a. A small pool of water, especially rainwater. b. A small pool of a liquid.) of my own precum on my belly, and he started using IT on me, too, as well as on himself, to my elation! Then, he lifted my coXk to perpendicular with one hand, and fisted it loosely with his other hand. 句子摘抄: 1. I knew he had decided that it was time for me to cXm, which was FINE with me, because there was no way I could hold back now, and he knew it. 2. Continuing to watch this lustful spectacle, I finally relaxed, surrendering to inevitability. Winston then, expertly很专家的 wrapped his whole fist around my coMk, pumping it firmly and steadily. My first three c*m spurts shot straight up about two feet, landing on my belly, and the remainder poured copiously over his skilled hands and onto my scrotum. Winston disappeared but quickly reappeared with a hand towel to wipe my c8m off of me. I gazed gratefully into his face; he returned a slight smile of self-satisfaction. 3. My fading ere7ction became turgid ([ˈtɜ:dʒid] adj I. swollen and distended; congested. II. (of style or language) pompous and high-flown; bombastic. ) again, as I watched this exhibition. Finally spent终于完事了(指终于社完了), he wiped off the c1m clinging to the end of his c4k and threw himself across his bed, motionless, except for the heaving of his chest. 4. The next night, when all was quiet, I entered the bathroom to, again, find the other door open. I instinctively knew what this meant. While we were jac--king off, I felt obliged to reach over to surround his bountiful co2ck with my well-lubricated hand to stroke it, but, he would have none of it( have none of something 一点都不能忍受 to tolerate or endure no amount of something. I'll have none of your talk about quitting school. We'll have none of your gossip. I wish to have none of the sweet potatoes, please.), and pushed my hand away. 5. After these two episodes, Winston and I deduced that with my roommate's working at the library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., and with his idiot, jock roommate going to tutoring sessions on Thursdays at the same time, gave us ample time to "play" almost every Thursday afternoon that semester, as well as a few other fortunate times, when one or the other of our roommates was away. I made a habit of abstaining from orgasm, if not mastur33bation, for a day or two before every Thursday, so that my anticipated Thursday prelude to orgasm with Winston would be all the more intense, and my resulting ejaculation more plentiful. 6. Sometimes he would rub our stiff, lubed c6cks together. Mysteriously, though, he never let me get him off, instead always concentrating on getting me off. 6. During this Winston and I never exchanged a word, yet we continued to socialize as usual, when in public settings公共场合. After the end of my junior year, I never saw Winston again. Although I often fantasized about seducing another guy, especially my soccer mates, the entire next year, and throughout University, I lacked Winston's moxie( moxie [ˈmoksi] n. US and Canadian slang courage, nerve, or vigour.).While I'm fairly positive he had had another jackoff buddy, or buddies, before me (since he was so adept at it如此熟练), I wonder why he targeted me, aside from circumstantial convenience on his part and fortuitous chance巧合 ( [fɔ:ˈtju:itəs] adj. happening by chance, esp by a lucky chance; unplanned; accidental. ) on mine.
