meatmissile 0 #1 January 13, 2003 Overcome by brutal Monday night honesty. I'm bad at: - Saying "I'm sorry" - Turning the other cheek. - Singing. - Being a good host. - Leaving the toilet seat down. There are more. I just can't think of them now. -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #2 January 13, 2003 Well, I can't sing too well anymore and my patience threshold could be a bit better. Otherwise, I let other people judge me, knowing they're about as qualified to do as I am ~~~~~~ So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

wmw999 2,121 #5 January 13, 2003 I'm really awful at lots of things. Most notably - not taking things personally - getting that giant clue that's slapping me in the face - doing anything before the last minute Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #6 January 13, 2003 I guess I'm a little too honest and that's going to hurt me on job interviews. Lucky this came along in my mailbox to help me overcome those tough questions: Job Interview Answers for Tough Questions... Question : Why did you leave your last job? Real answer : It sucked. Suggestion : I felt my talents and abilities were underutilized. Question : What are your biggest weaknesses? Real answer : I can't concentrate for more than five minutes, hate all forms of authority, and tend to fall asleep at my desk. Suggestion : I'm a workaholic. I just don't know when to put down my work. Question : You seem to have moved around a lot in a short amount of time. Why should we think you'll stay here any longer than you've stayed elsewhere? Real answer : My employers have always had a hang-up about keeping only non-competent employees. Suggestion : I'm at a point in my career where I am tired of moving around. I really want to feel part of a team, a long-term enterprise, where I can make a contribution. Question : How do you handle change? Real answer : I deal with it everyday unless I'm out of clean underwear. Suggestion : I think everyone knows that today the only constant is change. I thrive on it. Question : : How do you get along with others? Real answer : I hate people, as long as they stay out of my face. Suggestion : I think the interpersonal dynamics of the work place can be among the most satisfying aspects of any job. Question : What does the word success mean to you? Real answer : It means that I don't have to drag my sorry butt out of bed to kiss yours. Suggestion : Success, for me, would be knowing I am making a difference working with a team of people to make a more profitable enterprise. Question : What does the word failure mean to you? Real answer : It means I continue to collect unemployment insurance, with the hope of a 6 month extension. Suggestion : Failure? I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. That word is not in my vocabulary. Question: Do you get along with your current boss? Real answer: I get along fine considering what kind of a malicious jerk he is. Suggestion : I don't think I'd call him a boss; he's been more of a mentor to me. Question : Do you ever get angry with coworkers? Real answer : I don't get angry. I get even. Suggestion : Nothing angers me more than to see a coworker not pulling his weight, goofing off, or stealing. Yes, sometimes I do get angry with coworkers. Question: Can I contact your references? Real answer : Sure, but they wont know who I am. Suggestion : Maybe I can arrange to have them contact you. Question: What words best describe you? Real Answer: Genius, Horny, Dog, Clockwatcher, Unorganized, Lazy Suggestion: Compassionate, Creative, Team player, Organized, Efficient My other ride is the relative wind.
