Two thoughts for a Tuesday morning

1. There have been very few Canadian movies and modern stories set in Saskatchewan. Something must be done about this.

2. People should NEVER cut their fingernails in public. It just shouldn't be done. (I'm completely disgusted by this).

The rest of my weekend was good. It can be summed up as- shopping, relatives, food, dogs, relatives, food, ferry.

I discovered that next Sunday, some of my relatives are getting together for an ancestor worship day. My Chinese grandfather is buried in Burnaby, and my mom's adopted brother (who she didn't grow up with as he lived in China) is getting a bunch of relatives together for some ancestor worship thing. My aunts are coming into the city, where we will go to the graveside, perform some sort of ceremony (probably with incense) and then go eat a Chinese banquet. This should be quite interesting, and I've already had to promise my mom that I will take lots of photos, and put Chinese lantern flowers on the grave.

My temp assignment will be finished Oct 22 and I still don't have a job. So if you know anyone who is hiring, please email me.

I've temped in more offices than most people have worked in in their lives. I've found several personalities that can be found in almost every office-

1. The person who has been there FOREVER - This person has never had any other job, and has lived and died with the company. If you talk to them, they have little understanding of how hard it is to get a job. They are usually close to retirement.

2. The bitchy, scary person - This person hates being there, and is undeniably grumpy. Don't ever ask this person for help, because they will try to bite your head off. Try to avoid them.

3. The jokey, happy person - This is the person who is usually in a good mood, and cracks lots of jokes. They have a brightly coloured mug, and posters around their desk. They will usually have candy or chocolate. Generally, this is a secretary.

4. The person who thinks you're really dumb - This is the person who looks down on you as a peon. Do not tell them that you have two degrees and are a better speller than they are.

5. People who are understanding and helpful - Find out who these people are and don't feel afraid to ask them for help.

6. The creepy man - This is the person who tries to flirt with you, stands too close to you, and looks at your breasts when he talks to you. Do not let yourself sit in the lunchroom alone, because he will try to sit beside you. If he does, grab your food and head for the washroom or some other safe area where he cannot follow you and will leave you alone.

The best thing to do is to bring a book so that you can have a quiet, undisturbed lunch hour. Look busy at all times. It doesn't matter if you actually are busy, just look busy.

Who would play you?- A complete and diversionary fantasy...

I came up with this topic because Will Smith has always reminded me of my brother. I'm not sure why, as my brother is Cree and Will Smith is black. Will Smith has big ears, and my brother has normal sized ears. However, a lot of their movements and mannerisms are similar.

If I was to do something amazing, and make a movie version of my life, Will Smith would be cast as my brother. (This is if I had complete casting rights.)

Now who would I cast as me???

If I continue in the vein of "complete fantasy", I would probably choose-

1. Audrey Tatou (except I'm nowhere as cute as she is, and I don't know if she can do moody)

2. Shannyn Sossamon (but I don't know if she can act)

3. Liane Balaban, Canadian actress, Star of "New Waterford Girl". Actually, I think she would be the best choice.


What about you?
