I went for an interview at a company which looked like it was a clothing manufacturer. Sajjad was with me. There were about 10 people interviewing me and I was speaking great Japanese, far more fluent than in real life. One woman was completely incomprehensible and was getting annoyed that I couldn't understand her. I moved closer to the interviewers as the table was really long. One really old lady was asking me what "Denial of Service" attacks were and I explained to her about hackers.

After that, there was a lunch, during which a guy, I'm not sure if he was an interviewer, came up to me and presented me with a puzzle involving moving and stacking coins. Sajjad moved something like a tall thin drinks machine but huge blue sparks came out of the base. Another person ran over and took care of it before it caught fire. The whole company seemed to be blissfully happy and I was wondering whether it was actually a cult.

After lunch I met the head of the company. He was an incredibly tall western man with a white flash of hair. Sometimes, he was wearing a mask. He said nothing. A dark thin bee settled on his eyebrow...

How mad is that?

I don't like the Carpenters music. I'm sorry. But what is worse is when one of their songs becomes your earworm. I just watched a movie and couldn't help hearing a Carpenters song and it is now stuck in my head...and I have a cold. and I have no satellite TV.
