The kids of relatives draw pictures, and she modifies them for over an hour. A friend likes a dress, but she insists it's the wrong color and refuses to let her buy it.
Morning Post report (by reporter Zhao Ziyu) - This is a "professional disease" that often occurs among white-collar workers and office employees. It doesn't cause any physical pain, but sometimes it can be quite amusing or even frustrating.
The symptoms of this "professional disease" are not cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation, but rather: seeing a design and wanting to modify it, or dreaming about saying "it's my pleasure to serve you"...
Zheng Ning, 29 years old, works at an advertising design company in Shenyang, where she frequently modifies various design drawings. Over time, she has developed a professional habit - loving to modify other people's drafts.
"I have always had a great aspiration towards the profession of a designer since I was a child, and after graduation, I have been working in this field. Now I have two habits: one is that when I see a picture, I want to modify it, and the second is that I am very particular about the color of clothes," Zheng Ning said. Working in advertising design is extremely stressful, and constant modifications are required, so she always keeps a sharp pencil ready.
Her friend Wang Jiangping said: "Bowing her head and drawing, with her hand moving quickly, this is definitely Zheng Ning's most frequent work image. She not only loves modifying her own drawings, but also likes helping others modify."
Zheng Ning said that this habit has extended to children as well. When a little girl from her relatives was drawing, she went over to take a look. "I saw her drawing pretty well and wanted to help her improve it. As a result, I kept drawing for over an hour. When I stopped, I saw that the little girl looked sad and had fallen asleep beside me."
There was another time when Zheng Ning accompanied a friend shopping. Her friend picked out a blue top and a pink skirt. But Zheng Ning insisted on not letting her buy it: "No way, these colors don't match at all, change them quickly." The friend repeatedly said that she really liked this outfit, but couldn't argue with Zheng Ning, and ended up not buying it.
These amusing yet frustrating "professional diseases":
Appointment with friends for dinner: "At 5 PM, the court will open on time."
Qiao Jin (24 years old, private enterprise customer service): I rent a house with colleagues. One night, I suddenly muttered in my sleep, "Hello, I'm Qiao Jin, it's my pleasure to serve you." After saying that, I suddenly woke up, feeling quite funny. I turned around and prepared to go back to sleep, but unexpectedly, the colleague in the neighboring bed suddenly replied, "Thank you for your call, thank you, goodbye."
Xiao Sun (firefighter): I've been a firefighter for almost three years, and whenever I see fire, I want to extinguish it. One evening last month when I was out, I suddenly saw a pile of things burning by the roadside. My first reaction was to stomp on the fire and put it out. It turned out that what I extinguished was paper money lit by a father and son in memory of their deceased relative. They had just walked away not too far, and when they saw me putting out the fire, they were very surprised. I wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Ren Lawyer (35 years old, lawyer at Shengying Law Firm): I made an appointment with friends for dinner at 5 PM, but I blurted out very confidently to the other person, "It will be at the entrance of XX restaurant, at 5 PM, the court will open on time." I often use the word "party involved", so my 3-year-old daughter would ask me, "Are you going to meet the party involved?"
Mr. Zhang (25 years old, IT worker): I work in development, and every time I see something automated, I start thinking about how it would be implemented in code. For example, how does an elevator operate, and why does it stop at the floor number pressed? Once, because I was too absorbed in thought, I missed my floor and didn't get off until the 25th floor.
Ms. Li (30 years old, media worker): Sometimes I enjoy asking questions and expressing my opinions on matters. This makes it difficult for my friends to answer, so they drag me to eat delicious food, saying that only then can I stop asking questions.
Mr. Wu (29 years old, geological worker): Whenever I see a stone, I can't help but analyze its composition and which category of rock it belongs to. Whether visiting someone's home or eating at a restaurant, as soon as I have nothing to do, I look down at the floor tiles, trying to figure out what material they are and what their components are.
