but... I'm an idiot!
It's no secret that I don't particularly love my job. I am well aware that I make good money and am able to afford to live much more comfortably than a lot of people ever will, and I don't take that for granted. But at the end of the day, I feel like I'm working for the enemy; my company is not particularly green, and our product, as a whole, doesn't do much to help the greater good. That being said, I have *sigh* restarted my job hunt.
However, sometimes the job hunts you.
Like today. I was innocently sitting at my desk, mourning the end of my coffee (truly the second-worst part of every day, the worst being the five minute metro ride with traffic... very crowded), when the phone rang. Long story short, it was one of my suppliers, offering me a core position in their company. What?
No, really, what?
Apparently they haven't figured out, from our few meetings and regular phone conversations, that I'm only 25, and don't have the experience to take on that kind of role. I also am an idiot.
Certifiable.
Here are some examples of how I'm an idiot.
- I continually knock over drinks. Only when I'm sober tho.
- I have more toys in my apartment than I do chairs.
- I drink more beer than I do juice.
- I take sick days to go for bike rides.
- I do this on Wednesdays. By myself.
- My favourite movies include (but are not limited to) Wayne's World, Mortal Kombat, Happy Feet, Dr Strangelove, and various mountain bike movies involving guys riding giant bikes hucking themselves off cliffs.
- I think poo is funny. Really funny.
- I write postcards on my feet.
- I giggle quietly (and not so quietly) to myself at various times in the day when people say things that a twelve year old would find funny (ie, "you can have a two way with a nozzle and an orifice, or a three-way with two nozzles and one orifice, or a three-way with one nozzle and two orifices, or a four-way with two nozzles and two orifices or...." had me almost in tears. As did the lesson at university about effective head.)
- I usually have one of these with me.
- Yawning dogs make for hysterical laughter.
- If I'd passed all my classes in university, I could have graduated almost a year early.
I should put this all on my resume. For sure I'd get more offers.

Good to hear from you, M.
You take sick days to go for bike rides? Hmmm. I ride my bike to school every day now, which I'm quite proud of. It's the only thing keeping me in shape at this point and I prefer it to any other mode of transport.
In Soviet Russia job hunts you!

So they aren't interested in you because you're 25 or something else? You're still loved by me because of your outspoken nature. Bikes are fun.
no, no, they're interested... I turned it down. I don't think they realize that I'm 25.
Apparently I didn't realize what you had done. My bad. Shows me for reading the whole post.
