I think I’ll just change careers every year for the next five years or so. I just won’t redirect potential employers to my blog, because when I say one of my favorite interview lines, “I am really looking for a company that I can grow with- one that I can commit myself to over a long term period blah blag blargh,” they won’t know I’m lying! But I’ll secretly be planning my grand escape to my next 1-year career. Oh golly I’m clever.
Might I entertain you with another example of my wit. Ok! I dated this guy for about 10 minutes, well maybe for a few weeks. I wasn’t particularly impressed, but kept going out with him because he was nice enough and he gave me flowers. But he reminded me of a ferret in an oversized shirt. Anyway, when he wanted to do something, he would send me a text, and then an email, and then leave a voicemail all stating the same things. Flat out “No” is so harsh, so I kept telling him I was busy, hoping that this would send a pretty clear signal. It didn’t. (He must have been a male version of Kathy Griffin.) Finally, after asking what I was doing one particular Saturday, I sent a text stating:
My family is in town. so I won’t have time anytime.
I thought this was particularly clever because I thought it was ambiguous as to whether this meant I had no time this weekend, or ever. I relayed this story to a friend who said it was pretty clear that I meant the latter. Oh candymoonface, not as cheeky you thought.
