I'm little ticked off right now but calming down. Since I now live in Brooklyn and only a metro ride (or 3) away from the services of the Finnish Church of NYC I figured I will try to make some contacts and see if some of the Finns could help me with my job search. Some of them are bound to be the wives of people working for Nokia and some are bound to be wives of people working for other Finnish companies or big US companies that maybe would be able to help me...Last week on Thursday I went to the office to see what it looks like and meet the people. There was nobody there but the downstairs neighbor let me in. I figured I would get some DD and then go back. Still noone there so I left and came home. Today they had a "Brooklyn Ladies and Gentlemen", an informal gathering at the priest's house. It was raining, it was cold, I used the last rides on my metro card only to get there and not have any indication as to which apartment it was. At the office there is this tiny finnish flag at least and so I was expecting something like that here as well. Nothing. So I called Tiffany and asked her to check out the website if there was a apartment number on the announcement. This was funny since she doesn't read/speak Finnish so I needed to guess what the links would be called but couldn't remember...but in the home page it said Brooklyn ladies and gentlemen is held on FRIDAY 15th of October. Awesome. Today is THURSDAY the 15th. In their event calendar this was put into the Thursday 15th spot so I think I was there the right time. Tiffany texted me the office phone number but all I got was the voicemail which was old. Recorded before the summer about their summer hours etc. So that didn't help. So I left and came home. That was a bust.
Tomorrow is another great day...it's grocery shopping day! Woo Hoo! I think I have a system for this one. Restricted carts won't stop me this time around!
Later!
