Random Rants

I'm beat. Got an early start tomorrow, with a senior manager review to look forward to first thing in the morning, and a 1.5 hour journey through London's fire, bomb, strike, and signal-failure prone underground system. And I just got home about an hour ago. And now I'm blogging when I really should be sleeping. Sigh.

Was doing a recruitment thingy for the big firm. Yes, playing the soulless corporate recruiter. With a little bit of soul. Sure, I did the whole corporate spiel, but I added bits of my own experiences in. What I like about the job. What I didn't. Even manage to get at least 3/4 of the people I spoke to decide to apply to my regional office instead of the HQ where the event was being held.

Got asked a stumper of a question by one of the undergrads. "Isn't that an independence issue?" Had to mull over it, wasn't sure about the technicalities, but I think I managed to blag a half-decent answer. "Er, no." Cool.

Funny, I can clearly remember attending some of these events about 2 years ago. Didn't bother asking questions, I was just there for the goodie bags... Tonight though, I was stuck with answering questions the whole night, so I couldn't grab hold of a bag... however, I managed to charm the recruitment lady into whipping out two corporate memory sticks from her hand bag and hand em over to me! Wahey! Bonus! Worth wayyy more than those bags! And they look pretty flash too!

Sigh, if only I'm this lucky in my personal relationships. Anyway, that's another story...

Jason Mraz is coming to town in Feb! He is one fantabulous guitarist/singer/songwriter, and I've been hoping to play in the London bars like he does in the bars in NYC. I can play his songs, sing half-decently, but I don't have his gift with the wordplay... And I need a bongo player/singer too! Dreams eh? Depressing when you can't realize them, depressing when u don't have them. Maybe I should write a song about that...
