just another manic monday?

so i've just had my interview with a company that sells women's pee funnels
yep, that's right, it's a funnel for women to pee into s that they can pee while standing (there's a medical use for this too...peeing into a specimen bottle)
interesting huh?
well the "office" looked more like someones very untidy living room
the guy who interviewed me wasn't ready for me (fair enough i arrived a little early...but still!)
apparently the company has someone interested in buying it out
and he's not going to make a decision for at least 3 weeks...so why interview me now?

anyway
the interview itself was pretty good
he aired his concerns that i haven't got much sales experience and that i'd not stayed in some of my previous employments for much over a year, i explained the situation behind these choices and i hope he thought the answers were satisfactory...and if not, oh well

i had to buy a new tie though
and damn it looked good ;)

other things?
no idea
oh yeah, i was going to post about animal house wasn't i?
well last week i went on a blitz and bought a pile of dvd's of films that i've never seen before (with the exception of the big lebowski) anyway, in this pile was animal house
it was funny as hell
how can i have gone through over 28 years without watching this before?
also in the pile were beyond reanimator ( yes dr herbert west is back and up to his old tricks), the griswold vacation boxset...not watched all of them yet though, waynes world double boxset and the cat in the hat
i'm a big dr suess fan, but i wasnt expecting much from this as it got panned when it was released at the cinema...but i laughed most of the way through and just basically enjoyed the film and especially mike myers :)
also that dakota fanning is going to be big, i've seen her in a few films now (man on fire and hide and seek spring to mind) and she has got what it takes

anyway i think i'm waffling now, and anyway i'm hungry
i'll probably be back before the day is through though, probably with some more stupidity
with permission i may post some extracts from an email that i received from a blogger this morning (becca, is that ok?)
laters peeps

You never told me if you got the postcard from Africa? Or maybe you did and i forgot.

I've not seen animal house, i'll put it on the list. I saw an ad once for those funnel pee things...weird!!

Lisa said...

I still say you'd make a fortune at Glastonbury and V

No more peeing on the bottom of your trousers when you coopy down!

ash

lisa

Alicia said...

HOLY CRAP!!! Is it the "She Wee?"
Fucking fantastic!!!
Haha, I was looking up sex toys on ebay to see how much they were going for, and I came across the she wee.
Brilliant idea for camping.
If you get a job thee, I totally want one.
Gross, but intriguing!

Px said...

it wasn't called the "she wee"
i'm not going to go into company details about the product or anything...but it was weird
and most of the people that work there are blokes!!!

Lisa said...

Pete, like I told you when you told me about the job - the guys think they are going to get to see pussy

"yes, madam, I just have to measure you up for the right size - drop the panties please..." ;);)

and glad I helped at the interview :)

Px said...

yeah guess you're right

Steven said...

You know...for...ummm..research and stuff. ;)

Px said...

i'm sure you can find them online easily
although goggling pee funnels might not bring up the desired results...

NotCarrie said...

I'm not a big Dakota Fanning fan. She kind of annoys the crap out of me.

Good movie choices, though.

Roxi said...

Autumn Storm said...

Cat in the hat is now on my list. :-) Happy almost Tuesday, xo

Lindsey said...

Is waffling another word for rambling? I love it!! :o)

Px said...

notcarrie
i can see that too, but i get the impression as long as she doesn't do a macauley, she'll be big

roxi
i think it'd be weird to try and sell them, but at the same time, it'd be interesting...
i dunno!

ACG
that's nothing, the company i had the interview for has one in development called niagra...

jobthingy
i didn't, not really sure i wanted to either, but i do now...

autumn
yeah, it's worth it, you can see a lot of mike myers' other characters in the cat

linny
yeah, waffling=rambling=talking shit

OMG...seriously. At the cabin this weekend...we discussed these!! The husband of one of my girlfriend's is a truck driver, and when she rides with him, she takes one of these type things along so she can pee on the side of the road like her husband!!! She bought her's in a roadside truckstop!!

Sounds like a bit of an odd interview though...

Loved Dr. Seuss...I think the good doctor would have been proud...it was funny and creative and well worth a look...

And yes, you're welcome to repost the email...

And what was that then? A tie teaser??? I fully expected that comment to be followed by a picture!!
