I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

Bemoan, lament, eulogise.

The lack of passion in the world.

All these boy bands singing their boy band songs, or worse, covering previously perfect songs, with the mechanical precision of a faker.

I sigh. At how things have come to pass. Is this enough? Is just pretending to feel a little something enough?

We interviewed someone again today. Same thing, different angle. Is it too much to ask for, this genuine enthusiasm thingey? Really?

This is not to say smart, perceptive people are lining the streets. After all, the perfect candidate is as much a fallacy as the perfect husband or wife. But if you’re looking for a job in a serious company, of course to get pass the first interview you need to demonstrate a little more than a brain, that means doing your homework, trying the products or services and doing some research on the company.

The dealmaker though, the thing that sets one candidate apart from another – is usually the attitude. Fitting in is so important that I’d choose someone less experienced if that someone was more Y-factored than the more experienced person. Fitting in in my organisation really means being as passionate and driven as everyone else. I’m not a big fan of the half-hearted wannabe. I’m even less forgiving to the person who’s trying to just get a foot in the door to move on to another role.

Well enough about that. It’s boring enough.

On to more exciting updates: I’m onto my – lemme count, My Lovely Sam Soon, My 19-year-old Sister-in-law, Fashion 70s, Lawyers, Hotelier, Lovers in Paris, (Full House again, there’s also Jewel In the Palace waiting to be watched, but I can’t be bothered), and now Princess Lulu and My Girl – 8th Korean serial, but besides asking Paul Ssi if he’s eaten, if he’s ok, and if he wants to go to lunch (and some random mean words), I can’t speak very much Korean. Which is disappointing. I can understand a little more of what’s going on in the shows, but not more than 30%. A little slow for my liking, but I haven’t really dedicated much time into my linguistic pursuits. Lazy butt.

I’ll work on a couple of reviews and synopsis in a bit.

So don’t become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don’t know or just don’t care
And just complain when you’re not there
You had your time, you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour

Someone still loves you
