Job huntin' & Twilight

So not much is new with me. I've been watching a lot of movies/Survivor and just chilling. In the past couple of days I've watched "Ice Age" 1 & 2, "Toy Story 2", "College Road Trip" and "Son of Rambow" (cute movie, it's also now in theatres in Israel). I have a few movies waiting to be watched: "What Happens In Vegas" (I refused to pay money to watch this, but for free with my sister on my PC is something I'm willing to do), "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (again, with my sister. She got some Nightmare Before Christmas merch when she was in Europe, it's time she knows what she bought), the new "Indiana Jones" movie and a movie called "Taken" that my friend recommended on. I also have to finish watching season 2 of "Waterloo Road" and am now downloading season 3, to follow, and I have a few episodes of "Red Band" to catch up on and maybe somewhere in there I'll watch the second season of "BeTipul" (original Israeli version of the HBO drama "In Treatment") that I never got to watch when it was first aired because I was studying for the psychometric. Somewhere in there I'll probably download even more "Survivor" and various other movies. Just to keep busy.

I went to a job interview today. It's at a company called USAGC, they help people sign up to the green card lottery and sell additional products. You get minimum wage plus bonuses in Euros. If I'm a good saleswoman, I can make crazy sums of money, like 10,000 shekels a month. If I'm not, I'll make something like 4,000-5,000 a month. Which I can make anywhere else. Question is if I have the 3 months to waste to see how good I am and whether I want to spend so many hours in a rather shabby area of Tel Aviv.
The interview itself went okay. After going through routine questions, the rather gay dude with the straightened long hair and iPhone asked me to try and "sell him" a bottle of water, to see how my English is and whether or not I've got the... persistence it takes to do this job. He seemed to be pleasantly impressed even though I did result to telling him the water are from the Alps and the monks there believe drinking from those water will cure any illness. What can I say? Daddy taught me all I know... haha!
But this was my first job interview, I'm not going to jump on the first job offer I get. I'm going to check this through, consult with my family, check out other offers and decide near the end of the month...

I've also been reading the first book of the "Twilight" series and I'm pretty much madly in love with Edward. Oh well, like I didn't see THAT coming.

Being the great daughter that I am, I tidied up the house a bit and put on the washing machine, to make life easier for mummy when she gets home. I know, I know, I'm awesome.
