Most intense ever!

I had the most intense interview today ever!
It was with an advertising firm, so being the masters of diplomacy; I had to attempt to match their talent at subtle convincing.
Some questions that required me to boast left me feeling like a cheat.
Honest to God...
Sometimes, even though you know you have the skill, talent or ability, you just falter when asked to rate yourself.
I've to get over that.
More self-confidence...

I hope to get the job, even though I know it means a temporary end to my social life as I know it and a halt in my education.

I pray I won't disappoint.

I think there's something wrong with our culture.
In the world of behavioural 'coolness', you just don't get any brownie points for taking the initiative to do something.
It's sad because it goes against the training you get from young that taking initiative is a good thing.
As we grow older, taking initiative means being 'kpo' being a butt-kisser, being stupid... what have you, when our early training says it means being gracious and courteous.

We live in a warped world.

Twisted my ankle from running on sparsely paved grass...in heels!
Felt the twist, heard the crack but felt no pain.
The pain came later... a day later...
It has been 2 days and a bruise is starting to show.
Just what kind of body-mechanism is that?!

It's another week of torture in the office...
Telemarketing gets really boring... Unless you play act on the phone.
The only good thing about not having a conversation face to face is that you can be downright rude yet sound so polite.

Imagine this...

You:"Why sure! I'll hold the line. Take your time."
(Rolls eyes and starts to inspect nails with a look of total disdain)

Get the picture?
I don't mean to be rude... really... but some people are beyond rude!
Always get the urge to be sarcastic or mildly so on the phone...
And oh... did I mention?
I think someone in the office is a condescending *beep*
Whoops... Local law... got to sensor...
