Jobs, jobs, jobs

I don´t think I can sell myself well. Or at all. Then again the interviewer had really bad questions.

The job was as an assistant to the woman who organizes the shifts for the airline people (flight attendants, pilots, etc.). Now this is heavily based on a program, simple enough.

Then the guy asks me how I am in a group, whether I can stand up and be firm and a whole bunch of other stuff. I don´t see what this has to do with the job, not really, unless they intend to lock me in a room with the crew and have them whine* at me, "but I don´t want to work that Satuday".

The other question was even more vague. "How are you with numbers?"

"Well, sir, I tend to slap them around if they´re not nice to me, but have been known to give them chocolate as a reward for behaving and lining up straight in their corners. Except for number 8. Hate the little bugger."

I mean, what can you say to such a vague question? They´re not going to ask me to do mental arithmatic, or do calculus, or stats, or anything. It´s just looking at itty bitty numbers, seeing if everyone has numbers... They´re really dates, not numbers per se, but let´s let that slide for now. I don´t get it.

I didn´t ask abot the pay, or whether it would be for a full day or half day (which is the only option I can take). As I said, didn´t impress them. But I don´t think I´d be able to take the job anyway because it takes ages to get there.


However, MCarmen´s hubby, Kique, who´s boss of a budding company** has just given me a long shpeel offering me a job anytime. Very flexible on the amount and time of the hours and all. If nothing pops up by April, I guess that´s what I´ll be doing. Sounds sweet though, because it´d be a good environment to enter the workforce in.


Now, on a completely different note, I´ve got to start downloading fan vids for Buffy, Angel and Firefly because they are just too pretty. I know I made Jo watch a few. I´m going to start making a list of sites. I don´t know if any of the readers are interested in these fandoms, or in fanfic and vids in general, adn really this is mainly for my own list-addicted mind, ( and so, the cut )

I really would like to see some Buffy Season 7 again, now that I´m more familiar with Nathan Fillion. It´d be interesting to see him as a bad guy.

And yes, have ideas for vids of my own, but alas, no clips. Might have the software for it, though...

Smokin´bus

Why haven´t I told you about the retunr trip yesterday from way-out out Barcelona,a fter my interview? About how the bus, which was a double, started smelling funky in the back because the muffler´d fallen? Or how we all stood by the highway on the sidewalk waiting for another bus to hurry up and get us? How beside us in the park a guy and three dogs were playing? Or how it took the better part of 25 minutes for the next bus to swing by for us, not pushing the accelerator or anything?

Oh, well. Tough.

PS: an interview with Nathan Fillion:

Q. Is there a difference in the acting style from the small screen?

Nathan: I haven’t made any drastic changes or anything. I’ve noticed that my nose is a lot bigger on the screen. There’s times when, if you could put your arms up, that’s about how wide my nostrils are. I’ve always known I’ve had big nostrils, but now I can park a Buick in them.

That there, added to the DVD region 4 extra-Extras (i.e. not on other region versions) of Serenity, lead me to the conclusion that this man is adorable. Capital "orable".
