a day spent reading more CVs. i’m over it all – exceeding expectations, leading by example, mulit-tasking, working alone and in a team with minimal supervision, blah blah blah. it’s all just fluff. everyone that has strong attention to detail somehow forgot to use spellcheck. someone’s motto was “learn, unlearn, relearn” wtf? my motto is “delegate.” and someone else put “buying stuff for the house my parents are building for me” as an attribute. huh? thanks for sharing but i don’t care about your trips to ikea. my head hurts. i’ve shortlisted the candidates for my manager and i’m just waiting for the go-ahead to do phone interviews. did i mention that i don’t like others? i think i’m getting dumber reading these CVs. pretty soon i’ll just randomly say things like “i embrace challenges” and “i am deadline-oriented and proactive” because i don’t know anything else to say.
today i said something extremely australian (“give me a hoi this arvo and we’ll get it sorted”) which impressed some colleagues but left me shocked and dismayed. i was just distracted by a fresh box of krispy kreme donuts on someone’s desk. they think they’re winning but i will not succumb.
so, on other things australian, i was reading the age and was drawn to this headline ‘Teabagging’ case sees military court declared invalid’ only because there was all this talk of tea parties/teabagging in america from right wing whackos (apologies to any right wing whackos who read this blog, i’m just a whacko in general so it’s said with love). i thought it would be a case of australia copying americans and their political antics but much to my surprise (and amusement)…um, well, it’s not the same. surely they could have re-worded the headline.
and that is my interesting story. aren’t you glad you tuned in?
