Oh! and job interview went like this if you were curious

I had to spend twenty minutes yesterday listening to a bunch of sixteen year old talk about their favourite film. That was my interview. Stand up and say my name and what my favourite film was. Once you'd done that you could go. They'll call me if I got the job. Some of these kids were terrified. Then there was the girl who was sixteen and from st brides and omg loved johnny depp because he is so sexi (it was misspelt in my head, you can just hear it) and she was gonna say pirates of the caribbean but she was gonna say blow. Blow is an 18. A sixteen year old deppophile told the manager of the cinema that her favourite film is rated 2 years older than she is. I found this highly amusing. Then there was the 16 year old who favourite film was the lord of the rings trilogy 'but really the two towers cuz it's non stop action'. Also it had (obviously) elijah wood, orlando bloom ummmmmmmm ian mckellan all the legends, you know. I listened as the people behind me wondered if they could say Harry Potter because they knew the books were supposed to be better but she hadn't read them. I had the ending to two films spoiled for me to the extent I had the urge to get up and just list the endings to as many films with twists as I could. Instead I went with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind very aware my title was longer than anyone elses and saying 'it's a Michel Gondry film' means nothing to these people. But whatever at least my English made sense and I didn't act like this was the hardest thing to do ever. It was the most pointless thing I've had to do for something I desperately need that as soon as I left the centre I had a fit of hysterical laughter and then nearly did a very bad thing. Somehow I managed to get on a bus instead.
