2 - 18 - 98: Forays into unnecessity


 







  ASD Megacorp brings you Quality
    I am right now writing what's called an "Executive Summary". It's something that recruiters give to corporations so that the person doing the hiring at the corporation doesn't have to read through a big, boring resume to determine whether someone has got the right stuff for the job. I think this recruiter is either lazy, or doesn't know enough terminology to write this particular summary, so the task got handed to me. That's fine, I guess. I have to keep referring to myself in the third person. I also have to point out how great I am. Great, great, great, great, great.

    I'm still saying the word "GREAT" in my HEAD! -- That funny lady

    Actually I'm fucking off and not writing it. Hold on, I'll go start it now. Okay.

    Well, that wasn't surprising. I'm finished, it's sent. Getting started is the hard part. If I irrationally start doing something without considering how difficult it is, I'll usually finish it pretty quickly. When I sit around trying to make the best possible plan, I just end up doing nothing, forever. It's a good thing I finished it quickly, because that guy is gonna call this morning, probably in just a few hours, and I should get a little sleep.

    So anyway. There's an internet-capable computer at Poho now, and everyone will always know exactly what I'm thinking, if they care to check. One reason I stayed quiet as a kid was that if you didn't let anyone know anything about you, they would have nothing to dislike. Nothing concrete, anyway. This one reason has kept me quiet for a pretty long time. This behaviour fell apart when it occurred to me that the reason hinges on everyone liking you to begin with. If I've got nothing to lose (i.e. the affection of total strangers), then there's nothing TO hide. I may as well just shout my impolite thoughts while stomping down U-Ave. (This is a pretty typical thing to see on the ave, anyway.) Then again, I still feel a little unhappy when I am a nuisance to people I don't know. (It's okay to be a nuisance to your friends.)

    I will sleep now, to prepare for WAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!

    Uh, I sure hope I don't have too much caffeine in my system to fall asleep.
