The Worst in the Best!

I went to Bestbuy in Deerfoot Meadows for an interview last Fri. God! that was so stupid! They first gave me a form to fill out and then one oriental guy took me to their little warehouse for the most stupid interview that I have ever had!
The guy started asking questions that were in a booklet and check marked! The whole interview didn't take more than 20 min. and I was told that If I don't get a phone call from them in the next three days, it means that they wouldn't need me now but they keep my application for one whole year. The gook also told me that only part-time positions are available and sales reps. usu. get 5 to 30 hours a week. I should add that I have already had an online interview the day before that.

Not Guilty!

Micheal Jackson found not guilty after almost a year and half, a few days ago. I myself was agitated and disappointed. I'm sure he bribed the jury. If he didn't what was all those testimonies about? If he was found guilty, he would have been sentenced to at least 20 years in prison. Same story happened a few years ago and he just paid the victim and talked him down. He was so scared to death that he lost a few pounds and looked so skinny. Music critics believe that the result doesn't affect the star's future career. Jackson's last album sold only 3000 copies!

Batman Ends!

I watched Batman Begins the day before and it was totally disappointing. First of all I don't know why the hell directors and producers or may be scenarists tend to use backward method and make a predecessor for a successful movie. They did that for Star Wars and the result was not good. Then they did that for Batman and it was awful, in my opinion. Second of all some new movies including the recent Batman finds its roots in oriental martial arts. Hero (A complete bullshit) and Kill Bill (the movie I'd never go even if someone drove me and got me the ticket) are among the movies which are full of martial art fights. The relationship between Batman in Gotham City and Ninjas in, I don't know where in the world, is something that I don't understand. After all I was expecting an action like the original 1989 one but it was mostly full of dialogues. Tom Cruse's new wife performs in the movie but she's something below average and also Christian Bale. I think it was just waste of time and money.

Jazz

I and Ali G. (The strange but nice guy) went to Beat Niq for a Jazz show. That was the first time I was listening to live Jazz. Actually Ali G. has found the club a few weeks ago and told me about that and I thought it's good to give it a try. The club is mostly for mid-aged to young people who wants to enjoy dining and live Jazz music. Jazz, as far as I understand, is a style of music that based on playing trumpet and saxophone. The other instruments used are drums, bass and piano. The band were playing last night was consist of 5 guys each playing one of the mentioned instruments.
Some of the songs were incridible esp. the ones which the pianist performed very well. (I feel bad saying that! It's not fair! Music is a team-work achivement and all of them were great). It started at about 09:50 PM. I stayed until 12:00 AM. There was no singer in the band.

Null!

Nothing has happened so far regarding the careers I applied and the interviews I had last week. Not a thing. Null. A big goose egg. Besides I didn't write the CQE exam on June.04.05 as I was so tired after work. I should have taken a whole week off before the exam not after that!

So I'm still in the same boat and have to continue job hunting and studying. I'm very lazy now but last week I spent good time on Running Today's Factory and have to keep going. That a good book about Lean Manufacturing.

The Day After Tomorrow

It's been cloudy and rainy for about a week or more. Part of the city, mostly Elbow River neighborhood, which is a rich community has been flooded. High River in south Calgary (About half an hour drive) faced flood and some people were evacuated. This reminds me of the movie The day after tomorrow. Of course it's not that bad but it turned to a disaster. I watched the movie a few days ago on MovieCentral. That's a good one.
