I wish I had a dog to take a long walk with. Also, sometimes tea with milk and honey is really good.

All these job ads with "must have car and licence" are enough to make me want to blow up a car dealership.
Or possibly to just hurry up and get some driving lessons, which may in fact be the more rational option.

From a job ad

Quote:
To be successful in this role you must have:





Highly organised and able to juggle multiple tasks.

Excellent personal presentation skills.

Excellent communication skills.

Computer literacy, particularly Microsoft Office suite.

Personality Traits

Friendly, courteous and helpful manner


I must have highly organised? And I also must have able to juggle multiple tasks? For example, data entry while preparing presentations on the key differences between English and Engrish?

I must have personality traits? I'm presuming that anything will do, and that if I list "sarcasm, absent-mindedness and misanthropy" I'll be a shoo-in for the job.

I also must have friendly, courteous and helpful manner. Judging by the ad, this ranks even higher than the ability to use conjunctions in speech or writing. Or should that be "Judging ad, ranks even higher than ability conjunctions speech writing".

I am so sick of trying to impress people who clearly have porridge for brains.

I've stopped pleasing porridge brains a few years ago. :D

Plus, even if you do impress most jobs expect you to do the work of 2+ people nowadays while paying not much more than you would get working in McDonalds. Its a dire job market indeed.

I was upset with my mom earlier, but we talked it out and she apologized, so now I'm feeling better. The whole incident that had made me upset in the first place turned out to be a communication failure on my part, and apparently she didn't even realize that she had hurt my feelings. Oops.
