today

so tonight i went with some friends to see Napoleon Dynamite in marymoor park! it was fun! it's been a while since i've seen it; the dancing part definetly reminded me of the girl at camp that did his dance for the talent show, and pamela (i heard that she learned it for the taurnhof talent show).

i had an interview at this travel agency. well it was a group interview. the president of the company came out first and talked about the company and business (then the one on one interviews). he was SO obnixous, like an used car salesman, only it was the other way around in terms of dynamics; we were trying to get a job from him (not him trying to sell us something). he kept saying that "this is an interview!" and "mmkay." the worst was when he pronounced costa rica, "casta rica." he was loud and arrogant, a really annoying american. it reminded me of that feeling of stepping off the airplane in america after just coming back from england, and hearing loud annoying americans complain about everything, just after sitting across from this old, fat american guy who would yell bad jokes after the flight attendants annouced something. i sat next to a british guy who had lived in seattle for 10 years; we were thoroughly annoyed and embarrassed. it was that feeling that i was in a country that was ignorrant, nationalistic, arrogant, and loud. a country i never liked. a country i will most likely spend the next 5 years in, which is too long for me.
well i left while the guy was still talking. i realised that this job isn't for me because 1) i can't work from home and 2) i don't have a car to visit clients. so i just got up in the middle of him talking and walked out. this lady had just left right before me so i kinda just followed her out.

then i had another interview and applied/dropped off resumes 3 other places so hopefully soon, very soon, i'll get a job.
