    was just trying to finish up an application for a good govt job that I'm actually qualified for. applications are due at midnight tonight... and the website (usajobs.gov) is apparently down for maintenance until the 12th.

    :facepalm:

    not to add insult to injury, but I hear those jobs are incredibly difficult to get, especially if there are military veterans in the applicant pool. Being a veteran often helps. Although if you are qualified and the work is some kind of specialist niche then maybe better shot at landing an interview? Nice work if you can get it, though. The benefits and pension especially are probably top-tier. Have you ever tried looking for work on the government job portal based on the state you are in (instead of applying to jobs at the federal level)? That might be a good place to look as well.ย

    Marnie (1964) - Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

    I used to love Hitchcock's films when first getting into film a while ago. Found them somewhat boring or old fashioned for a while after the initial enthusiasm subsided. Have recently been re-watching some, and this one was awesome, very fun and dark. Sean Connery is a business man who was forced into his family business and had to give up his real passion for zoology (he liked studying apex predator cats, the criminal class of nature he says, and he still keeps up with the field). He finds a human animal that he can tame (and help?) in the Tippi Hedren character, a criminal herself with a strange and sexually repressed past which Connery must penetrate pun intended in order to save her from herself. The scenes when they are alone are remarkable with great dialogue. Bernard Hermann score also great as per usual, and a phenomenal action sequence involving a horse. Visual effects not on par with other Hitchcock film's like Vertigo, but the effects and suspense both work to articulate the movie's theme in ways that surpass his best films imo. Feel like this might be one of his most underrated gems, and I enjoyed it much. Set and costume design also on par for the master of suspense.
