Sometimes the most courageous act is what you did not do.

That's the catch phrase fro the movie "Paradise Now". A movie feature/preview from the "good night and good luck" DVD. I think it is a good one.

I need to finish "GN & GL" at home. This is a serious film and I have to watch it at home, not at Joey's apartment.

I found Galavision on Channel 73. I have been watching it a little. I want to continue watching it. But I don't have anything on TV at home. It was cancelled by the Marquina Family. Well, life goes on. I get to watch a lot of movies and TV series on DVD.

Overcast Saturday.

I stayed in San Francisco. It feels like I'm vacationing in San Francisco, staying at Joey's Apartment. San Francisco bay area is very beautiful. I don't feel so depressed as I was living in San Jose. That was when it hit me really hard. I can not imagine going back to living in San Jose. The most boring and depressing place on earth. For me, that is.

I went to check out Oakland Housing Authroity for Next Wednesday's Interview. I am glad that there is going to be an interview.

Patrick said that the interview is very robotic and formatic. The scoring system is so mandate that it ensures it is easy to score and objective. A panel of 3 interviewers that will consist of a lady, a minority at least. He said I should not worry about it. There is nothing to prepare. Just go in and be myself. He said a good night's sleep will be good.

I am very grateful that Hang Nguyen has been very helpful. It has been quite a honor and pleasure to work with/for her. I am surprised to find that she was a contractor for 2 years before they turned her permanent. Well, I am not sure if I am heading down that road. But I really don't think I have engouh

Thank you cards

Does anyone still do that nowadays. Ever since James told me to send thank-you cards to all the interviewers at NeoPhotonics, I started to do that when I could.

Yes, it makes me feel very pretentious to send Sebastian and Halil each a thank-you card, but what can I do? Now I feel it is completely a waste of time to do the interview and now the cards. But what can I do? It does not hurt to be courteous, right?

Oakland Housing Authority

Chrstina Something-Perez just called me during my interview with Expeditors International.

The interview was quite boring in a simple Q&A format. They Q'd and I A'd.

You are confirmed for a professional Interview with Expeditors International

My first impression was this: What kind of trashy people/low-educated slackers they have been interviewing?

Well, I am lukewarm about this position and the interview. But since it had dropped on my lap, I would just take it like a free gift. I don't really have to work for it. All it takes is an interview, so I will go in anyway.
