I'm Agnostic, and a Tourist of Religion.

I have a job interview today that's supposed to run from 1-8. I'd better get paid for that, whether or not I get hired. That's a full freaking day!

Also, I have to reapply for my EI. Nice of them not to tell me that on the phone last week. Nice of them not to tell me that at the EI last week when I biked there. They only told me today when I phoned again, and then they said I won't be eligible for last month when I was in NB. I told them I was looking for work, and had picked up a few hours of casual labour, and they hemmed and hawed. So maybe I will get money, after all. I sure as hell need it.

Here are some links.

Billy Ray Cyrus aims to revive the mullet: I hadn't realized the mullet had died. I see them pretty much on a daily basis.

Not Enough Fish in the Sea: Seas are being fished to extinction, yet fish oil is being used as an alternative fuel source? That makes sense (thanks, f00dave).

Shimajiro Toilet Training: Cartoon intended to help with toilet training. The live action bit at the end is the best.

I went to a huge multicultural festival yesterday and saw a kung fu demonstration. It seemed to be more speed over power. Maybe it was wushu? I don't know. I didn't recognize any of the forms, and there was a cheesy board-breaking demonstration.

I also got a free Kundalini yoga meditation session. I sat with my eyes closed and my hands palm up on my lap. I was told I'd probably feel tingling in my hands as my energy channels opened. I did feel tingling in my fingertips, but I also feel tingling in my legs when I sit on the can too long. At least I know what channel has opened in that scenario....

The kundalini folk have free yoga classes at the library on Tuesday nights. Maybe I'll go tomorrow just for the heck of it.

The gnostic group has free lectures on Saturday afternoons. I may as well check those out, too. They have the strangest interpretation of certain New Testament Scriptures that I've ever seen.

I understand spending an entire day interviewing for
a high-paying job, or for a job with a lot of respon-
sibility. Other than that, it's just ridiculous. I
wouldn't really know, though, because I don't think
I've ever had an interview last over two hours.

But, hey! At least you'll have almost covered the 8
hours a day you're supposed to be spending looking for
work! Or can you count transit time? :P

May I metaquote you?

I really don't think this is a high-paying job, but one can hope!

Sounds more like a brainwashing!

They're gonna test the shit out of her.

I mean, they'll be testing everything but her literal crap. Personality, software knowledge, possibly her urine...

Job-hunting sucks these days. And the lower-paying the job, the more tests they give you.

Naa. They just wanted me to do a full day's worth of job shadowing for a shitty, shitty commission sales job.

I said no thanks, and went home.
