uk nuclear power plants sites

ok now the UK has named their nuclear power plants site. Japan is still studying, I guess, since there is no news about their fuel strategy. as my country, still no news.

gambling

I got another call for interview in the coming Monday. what else I should do than attending interview. it's very painful. even attending an interview cost me some dollars. attending an interview for me is just like a gambling. it's a bad habit with lot of loss. you'll reap some money along the way but never can cover the cost. only a small fraction of people with good luck will hit the jack pot. or in the case of job interview there is another factor. you need to know somebody. I believe in that factor because now I'm no more fell into the 'live by principle' maxim. you know somebody? use them!

lives by principle

last time I was a stern believer in 'I live by principle'. but up to this moment, when my life was shredded and what is left is only hope, if any left, the maxim is only for philosopher and people with money. there's almost no value in it. the philosopher can only talk about it. they are paid for doing that. and for the man with money, I want to share a quote from my 'man with money' friend: "... now I recognised that if you got money what ever you said will be heard by people. ... I found that people will laugh at my stupid joke and they even laugh although I've yet to arrive at the punch line".

well, bye principle. just do whatever you want as long as you're not get caught by the law.

interview

I'm going to have another interview today. it's a post totally deviate from what I have been done all this while. well, what to do...

job and kids

I got a call today offering me a job. but I must again hit road and again travel 800 km away from my home because the offer was from my previous company. why is it happening this way? and also today I got a phone call for up-coming interview. gosh, the odd of I'm getting an interview is now stands at 4-to-almost 150 applications or about 2%. with that percentage, how much is the probability of getting a job? to date none.

division by zero

just like Greece, yesterday I was on a mission to secure a bail out. but unlike Greeks I'm not having a big deficit, then. but with the job is gone, the deficit is now undefined (I just remember the concept in arithmetic that anything divide by '0' is undefined). now what's the meaning of undefined in my case? I'm in danger drowning myself now.

living cost

there is a spat right now in my country about one particular paid-tv station which wanted to increase their monthly subscription fee. it appears to be that the government has say in the subscription cost. that's new to me. I thought the tv station as a private entity can do whatever they want.

the last time the station raised their fee was also contested by the subscribers. but the station won and people has to pay. we are too attached to the entertainment that we could no longer live without it. now few 'consumer organisations' are also making noise about the raise. "let us boycott the station", they said. huh...

I didn't subscribe the channel. for me it's sort of luxury. I remember one story about a house belongs to an old women was luckily didn't brought to earth by fire. I went to the house the next day after the incident. there were also few locals. some of them asked about the help from a government department on making good her home. her answer was stunning. she said "they came. but upon seeing the satellite dish antennae, the officer decided that the woman (and his son, who live with her at that time) is not eligible for the help. the family has paid-tv channel". it was sort of a joke but I kind of agree on the statement of the government officer!

nevertheless, let the station increase the fee. let only the people who has excessive money subscribe it. let the people with less money lose the channel so that they can sleep early and ready for work tomorrow morning. let the kids of this less fortunate family have more time to read books and interact with their parents. let us back to time when that box named tv didn't control much of our time. let it be.
