Off so hobbits land

Hobbits = from lord of the rings. Ben and I think Switzerland is like Hobbits-land.. people live at their own pace and completely ignore the rest of the worrld : Switzerland.

I'll be in Switzerland tomorrow, Wednesday in Paris and then back in Swissy for 1.5 weeks. Nice. Can't wait to eat a real Japonais from Migros. Hmm dessert!

But I have my new ibook, so I will keep you up to date. UBS lunch was great. I hope they find a little spot for me in their organization. They have a great corporate culture and very bright people.

Ohh.. storm is coming. We live so close by the river sometimes I can see the helicopter pilotes flying up and down the coast. They fly so close by our apartment I can swear the pilots eyes were brown. ha ha. Sometimes it's the traffic chopper, sometimes police, army (with 2 propellers one on top and one in the back) well I am sure I have seen them all.

By the way: Check out i-hacked.com they have cools hacks for e.g. Coke machines. I have no idea if it works..

Hello

We went to the Cuban place..
I don't remember what I had for dinner but it was good.
Remember the American Express job interview? I got the job. But I didn't accept the offer because I found out yesterday that it was a temp and subcontracting position. Ha. Nice to tell me. And the best, i only found out because i asked a couple of unusual questions. Otherwise I would have started there not knowing that I was a sub!! Scam!!
So on Saturday this guy calls me and says he is excited about my resume and if I was interested in a position with Citibank. He didn't tell me what the job is but that it included "helping people". Weird. From the address I found out that the interview was at a hospital at 6pm. So I politely declined. :) Weird.
Tomorrow I have lunch with somebody from Risk management at UBS. Maybe I get a job there?
