That Darn Weather, Pt. 2 ::
On a completely different subject, tomorrow (or rather today I guess) I have to finally go apply for those jobs I had put off. It just occured to me that I have bills to pay soon, so money unfortunately is an object.
I was kind of disappointed at work today. Our current film is this Jewish comedy from Israel, and I was hoping for a bunch old Jews with their Yiddish accents. Instead I got a bunch of Christians. I mean, that's not a bad thing, it's just not what I was hoping for. There were also a lot of foreigners. Yeah, those damn foreigners. From places like Holland and France.
This talk about foreigners has me thinking - is being Canadian a fulltime job? I mean, could I get someone to pay me money to be a Canadian? I know employers are forced into all of this "equal opportunity" stuff which sometimes forces them to hire someone less qualified for a job just because their not the norm... well, are Canadians considered a minority? If I move up to Canada, live there for a few years, become a citizen, get a Canadian passport, and then move back down to the States, could I get multinational corporations to hire me for useless figurehead positions as the token (or tokin'... yeah...) Canadian guy? I'm even willing to drink Labatt's, watch curling, and say "Eh!" a lot.
Maybe I don't even have to move to Canada. If I move to a place like New York or California, would they hire me as the token Wisconsinite? It seems every sit-com has to have a character from Wisconsin or with Wisconsin ties. Well, I could be some office's real Wisconsin guy - the butt of all the office jokes. Everyone could crack jokes about the cow I supposedly left behind to move to the big city or the awards I must have won taking part in 4-H. Of course, I grew up in a city, but that wouldn't matter to them. Hmm... sounds like a good plan....
