Yeah, if anyone gave a shit, that might be newsworthy.

Gravdigr · 01-13-2018, 02:38 PM

It was random, though.

Who is he dueling?

No no, DOODLING...

Could be "walk ten paces, turn and fire!" rules in effect.

Maybe he's a Yankee Doodling Dandy.

That's how gunfighters used to train back in the ol' days. They'd stand there while the sun was going down until the angle was just right; then, see if they could outdraw their own shadow. The wait was a grueling ordeal that taxed the nerves and hardened them.

I once won a staring contest with my own reflection.

I had an interview today for a 6 month secondment to the customer relations team as a complaints specialist.

Man I hate interviews. This one was at least fairly low stakes because if I don't get it, I'm still doing a job I love.

The worst thing in interviews, are the fucking 'competency based questions'. It doesn't matter how many times you've done this or that, or contributed to the other, when someone asks you to give an example they all vanish from your mind.

Sounds like you know the answers, you just get freaked and lose it because of your lack of self confidence.
C'mon, you ain't no dumb cubical mushroom, you're DOCTOR Dana ferchristsakes.

How in the fuck am I supposed to know what you are talking about when you yourself have no fucking clue?

Y'know...I'm not sure at all sometimes.

Just random venting.

Someone had just used the word 'thing' four times in one sentence. I hate the word 'thing'.

"What's that thing that things on the side of that thing? Yeah, pick me up one of those."

Thank you for your concern.

Only for a moment. I'm pretty good at dragging out some kind of answer.

One of the company values (a set of directives we're supposed to live and breathe) is 'be yourself, be big hearted'

In the interview I was asked: 'what does that mean to you'?

*blinks*

I think I waffled that one a bit til something popped into my head.

What I am quite good at, I think, is reframing that shit to my own purposes. Ask me about a time I 'collaborated on a project or task' and I chose to focus on something a little less nailed down, like the way we are building our new team, and helping the newbies get to grips with the job.

If I don't have something that exactly matches what they're looking for, I can usually find something that speaks to the same set of skills.

Practice your, Hmm, wrinkled brow, maybe fist against the chin, deep thinker pose.
