Domocracy: A Western Term


I've written about this bullshit term that Westerners use to legalize whatever they're doing; it's called democracy(!) French politicians are the biggest liars ever and the most frequent users of this term. A former PM of Iran was assassinated by a small group of people in France in 1990s. That was the second attempt and the successful one. Regardless of who the person was and if he was a servant to his country or a traitor, their action was considered of course an act of crime, they got arrested, tried and sentenced. One of them, Ali Vakili Rad was sentenced to life in prison. The democracy-oriented people of the French Government released the guy just after 18 years in exchange of one of their spies, a French woman!
Where did justice go? Where did democracy go? Shame on you liars. Shame on you Westerners who use different terms in a way you mean it not in the way it really means.

Unusual Interview

I had the interview for that position yesterday. That seemed a bit strange interview to me as I had never had like that before. There were 4 people, 2 employee and I'm supposed to be their colleague if I'm hired(!), one possibly from HR and the other one from another office, presumably the one that I'm goin' to work in. The interview for the part-time job took about 35 to 40 minutes. I think I had good answers and bad answers but they sounded very unprofessional to me. One question they asked and I had that before was how would have my supervisor described me, if he had been asked about me. For that I'm goin' to actually write what my supervisor wrote to the head office in response to their check on me:
He is a dedicated individual who does not need to be reminded of our expectations. Quick learner, enthusiastic and very reliable in his attendance.
I only mentioned the last one. I was told that they would let me know about the results by the end of the next week, I guess.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

I decided to buy a PC game, a First-Person Shooter right after I bought a new PC but was sure that I can't have something really advanced. So I checked a BestBuy and there was this game Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising which reminded me the old version of it. I played the old version on the new PC but then said to me that I should get a better one, more real one. I compared that to the older version of Call of Duty ($19 versus $39) and finally picked it. The picture and sound quality is very good but when I wanted to try different Single Missions, I realized that they were all locked by one! I contacted the customer service and I was told that the Single Missions get unlock through the Combat Mission!
I tried the combat mission a few times but it's really hard to go through especially because here you are the platoon's or whatever small group it is, leader.

Vancouver Aquarium


We finally paid a visit to Vancouver Aquarium yesterday, starting form 11:00 something. I was not very impressed. Was good though. Saw lots of things that probably can't be seen anywhere else. I don't get impressed actually these days anymore. Mostly kids and elderly people were browsing. The funny thing is we had to pay $22 each plus a $10 for parking and they still were asking for donation! I believe that it's very expensive to keep the aquarium up and running but they mostly use young guys and volunteers and they probably receive government funds as well. They can simply include that donation in to cost of the tickets. They don't have to humiliate people. Or if they really think that the Aquarium is not profitable they can let all the animals go. They shouldn't be worried about donation and everything else then. That's bad management. You consider a family of four probably spends $100 to $150 at least in a visit which is not bad and although it was Fri. there were lots of visitors. Some people spend even more. I don't know about the rainy and cold season though. Anyways it'll be a good experience. It's recommended but don't get too excited!

A Little Hope

This post is completely in contrary with the previous one. I'm a bit more optimist now. I received a telephone call from a lady in the HR department of a municipality of a major cities of Brit"SHIT" Columbia inviting me to an interview in a few days. The interview will be performed by a group of four people, she said. That wouldn't be a tough one for me as the job description matches exactly what I'm doin' at my current job but working for a major municipality, a panel interview, the other candidates and some other issues scare me a bit.
I have to deliver my best performance to get this position which is a sort of part-time job but pays good.

Over And Over Again

Have you heard that song Over And Over Again? Well that's the story of my life: Screwed over and over again over job applications!
I applied for a position with this motherfucker, animal rednecks in fucking filthy Brit"SHIT" Columbia in Apr. of 2009, more than a year ago and sent them all the fucking documents they wanted, several times through registered mail and spent lots of money. Eventually after one whole year this piece of crap requested the same documents plus a bunch more. So I sent them to him/her again and told him/her the rest were on the way because they should be evaluated.
So just one day after I filled out the fucking forms, signed for over $200 charge and sent it to the assholes, I received a letter from the Recruiting Manager stating that he had found other candidate better qualified than me and I was no longer considered a potential employee!
I was goin' to e-mail that motherfucker file manager of mine, the bulldog to ask him what was goin' on but then decided not to because I know these guys are so fucked up. One says something and the other says another thing! I'm just goin' to wait for the result and will mail it to him. But just wanted to mention how big of assholes these guys are. And these are the guys with big salaries in this fucked up province. Fuck all these motherfucker, irresponsible, rednecks.
