Interview Today (More Union Ranting)

OK, so I had this really weird interview today. I wasn’t told what the position was for, and I hardly even knew the company. Either way, upon arrival, I see that it’s for an insurance company….I will soon have a master’s in Mechanical Engineering. Oh well, let’s check it out.

I walk in, black suit, white shirt, yellow tie, sexy as shit with a rapist wit. Another guy comes in, apparently to interview with me. He’s completely unshaven, several facial piercings, wearing a plaid shirt, with a leather jacket, and jeans. He also has chinese (japanese maybe) characters tattooed on his neck. WTF mate.

I find out that he’s UAW at the Jeep plant here in town, and laid off. So, forget my interview or the job or anything. This guy just wants to make what he was making. So, the interviewer says, “OK, how much were you making.” To which the guy replies, “60…65 thousand.”

“But that’s with overtime right?”

“No, base pay. With overtime, I can make up around 70…80, I even made 85 one year.”

“How many hours?”

“40…maybe 45,48″.

Holy shit, are you fucking serious? $80,000 for a guy with MAYBE a high school degree, who stands on a line for 8 hours a day and screws shit in. Unfuckingbelievable. We wonder why our economy is shit and companies are forced overseas. How the fuck is GM supposed to make money when they have to pay bums like this guy $80,000 a YEAR!!!

Fuck.

BTW, the job was gay.

Quote of the Day

Joe: Yea, I slipped in the shower right before I got here. Got a huge bruise on my ass.

Me: Wow, how did you manage that.

Joe: Oh, well I was reaching for my beer.

Movie Review – Beowulf (2007)

“Starring”:
Ray Winstone – Beowulf
Anthony Hopkins – Hrothgar
Angelina Jolie – Grendel’s Mother

Runtime: 113 min

Overall: C-

The movie is of course based on the story that many of us read in high school. There’s a scary monster, Grendel. It’s jacking people up all over the place. They ‘hire’ Beowulf, renowned hero to come and slay it. After he slays it, it’s mom gets all pissed and starts jacking dudes up too. So, Beowulf goes to kill the mom, only to find out she’s hot and showing her tits. She makes him a promise, he takes it.

He tells everyone that he’s killed her, though he hasn’t. The old king, Hrothgar, we find out made the same deal that Beowulf did. He kills himself, Beowulf becomes king. He lives happily until there’s a dragon which starts jacking dudes up. Beowulf kills the dragon, but dies himself.

OK, now onto the movie. The movie is FULL CGI, no live action what so ever. So, it will take a minute to get used to the feel of watching it. Luckily the computer models are extremely good, so when you see Jolie’s milk makers, it will stir some arousal in your pants.

Unfortunately, the movie really fell short of the hype. This was a very boring action movie. Aside from the few action scenes, which were all done terrifically, the movie just kind of drags on.

Early in, when Beowulf kills Grendel, for some reason he’s completely naked. I forget if its like that in the book, but the silly things they did to hide his cock were entirely too comedic for the part. That takes me to another point. How the shit did this only get PG-13? Who did they have to buy out for this. Seriously, you see Angelina Jolie’s tits. Nipple and all. Sure, they put like this gold color over top of it, but its still tits. Aside from that, most of the movie is these guys trying to get laid. Anyways…

At almost 2 hours, save yourself some time skip the middle half, there’s little reason to watch. It’s not a horrible movie, and the computer rendering is fantastic, but it’s definitely not something I would recommend.
