the hunt for a job

So far, Latvia is looking like a good internship plan, but at the moment it seems to be a part time project, with me not going there for another six months. I can't get a meeting with the coordinator of the program until next Monday or Tuesday, so no specific details til then. I'm a bit worried it's all a bit vague, so i'm a bit 'hmmm'ish about it. I'll see how it is after that. I've started putting the pressure on NLV to find me a permanent position, but no news on that. Lotsa more options and ideas to have yet.. But I am OVER being poor!

Last night they had me at the cardboard factory slaveing until midnight. Hard work i tells ya, but the money is good. A few more of those shifts will help me through, but ugh, it's so mind-numbingly boring! A radio would be the first thing i'd need if i worked there more.

Wow, work-talk in my blog.

Ooh i saw a cool old Jackie Chan movie on the weekend, 'Young Master'. The action was great! The hair: BAD. All the characters had Bruce Lee wannabe hair, in true 1970s glory. It was great to see a totally Hong Kong film, without all that crappy Hollywood moralising, predictability and stuff.

Hey MR!!!!! Glad you are doing well!

Thanks for the links regarding immigration. That's cruel, to keep a person in prison for seven years! unbelievable! I will make an article over that!

Regarding whaling: in AZores (Portugal) whaling used to be legal about 30 years (?) ago. But you have no idea how the whaling was: a group of men chased big whales in a tiny boat! they really risked their lives, and the meat from the whale would feed entire populations for months. it wasn't industrial chasing like japan, and it was really for survival issues.

But then our government ended whale hunting. but the fishermen weren't abandoned. the same boats that were used to hunt whales are now used to sightseeing whales. a nice ending, right? :))))

hey thanks for the visit. how are you?

you already got replies on my blog.

regarding MJ i think you would like to know that we had a major paedophile scandal in portugal.

Hundreds of kids of a state institution were abused for many years by many important portuguese people. politicians, tv hostmans, diplomats, etc.

Things are nasty, specially for the victims. You have no idea.

I'm not sure if the important people will indeed get convicted. the trial is going on, with ups and downs so let's see.
