Interviews aren't that bad, on average, but the worst part is that horrible, terrifying question: "Do you take opium rectally?" Wait... wrong interview. Ah. "Tell me a little about yourself." FUCK. What in the FUCKING BLAZES am i supposed to say? --- "So, tell me something about yourself." "I IS a veRy WelLADjusTed INDiVijEwEl. I cHERish seRvinG the PUBlick, ALWaYs haVe a sunnY DispoZISHiN, oBeY ORdurZ witHOut QuesJENs. i Will GeT UP urLEE and WeRK tiL LaiT whenEVer NeSSeSSeRee." --- It never works that way. I always end up slipping, telling them some horrid bit of my sordid past. I cannot put my personality on hold for the duration of the interview. I can't give my ego a facial and stuff him into a locker for 30min. It doesn't work that way. 5150 damn it all. all this time trying to lessen the grip of my superego and now it turns out i needed him all along. when you think you have the rules figured out, the rules change. -- They make no mention of the beauty of decay.
