Movie night

Today's been a pretty good day. Went through all my sites and found a couple more ads I’ll reply on. Not any good jobs though. Just jobs that I know I can do, but then when the HR person reads my application I still end up in the no thank you–pile. Found an ad that really got me excited. The contact person was my contact at Dfind so I called her immediately. Turned out the ad was for the job I didn’t get at Nobel Biocare. She told me I had come in as second and that they had picked a guy. But somehow they still wanted have another look around. I think that sound a bit weird. Why on earth would they pick a person for the job, but at same time have another ad out? What are they out to get?

Got an email from Jessica. I guess she was trying to comfort me with saying that working at Nobel Biocare is pure hell. It’s like selling your body and soul to the devil. Hrm, where have I heard that before? That’s like working at Manutan… We are one big happy European family and we all work our arses off… *LOL*

Gave up looking for more ads about 4 o’clock and went and rented some DVDs. I’m kind out of the loop when it comes to movies nowadays. Gone are the days when we had our own library at BingoLotto… Anyhow, I got The Ladykillers with Tom Hanks, Lost in translation with Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson and finally Crash which won several Oscars this year.

The Ladykillers was a typical movie from the Cohen Brothers. You smile, nod and know that the end is going to be a bit unusual, but very good. Lost in translation was very good also. I sort of recognized the feeling of being alone in a big hotel. And to be different or the odd person out. God, I felt different just being in France. Being in Tokyo must be very, very different. Crash left me with an uneasy feeling. Just like Monster’s Ball did. But it was a very good movie. It made you think. Unspoken racism is everywhere and you do judge someone just on where they come from or what culture they belong to. I know I do and that’s what is so scary. We do those things without even thinking about it. Scary!
