Resumes
 

And I don't ask for more than that from potential co-workers. If someone has reasonable social skills and is not a completely humorless drone, I don't care if they would rather spend time with their kids than me. Finding out a candidate's interests (whether it be from the resume or the interview) helps me screen out the personality zeroes. Or less than zeroes - ever notice how some people can actually be aggressively boring. The people who are so boring that their boring-ness spreads out like kudzu, smothering all that is interesting or worthwhile around it. Anyway, that I happen to have some good friends at work is just a bonus.

As there is some unrelated discussion here about how some people purportedly think they are holier-than-thou or whatever, I will note that the unstated premise of my personality-based screening is that I am super-fucking cool. But I am, so it's all good.

Do the tundra giraffes get along with the polar bears and carribou?

Oops. Veldt? (That story scared the hell out of me.) Savannah?

Give me a break. I'm from Connecticut. For all we know, everything outside Manhattan and our own little corner of Lilly Pulitzer paradise IS tundra.

Sometimes you are so full of shit I'm embarassed for you. At least I know I'm full of shit. I think you've actually convinced yourself that you're not. Amazing.

Your rant was semi-humorous? So? It's obvious that you look down on people who watch tv. Am I defensive about tv? Hardly. I just think you're an ass for thinking that people care about what you think makes up a shitty life. Hell, you gave examples of what people should be doing instead. Yep. That's semi-humorous. Ha.

And of course you say, "Look everybody, TM is being defensive about tv!" And you don't even realize you're doing the same damn thing as in the first post. Was I the only one who responded to your post? I guess all those people are "losing their senses of humor at an alarming rate" or maybe "TV just means too much to them" too. How classic. Your ego is just too fucking big.

I may post like a lunatic with random rantings, ravings and insults, but at least part of my persona is that I know I'm full of shit.

Please. Like you think there's another person on earth who's worthy of your admiration. You just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Damn it, barely. You've got to be careful. You've just been crossed off his list of people whose higher purposes he strives to look up to.

Happy Friday.

You are seriously wound way too tight. Or, at least, your persona is.

I'll have to get a persona some day. Sounds like fun. Do they come in different sizes? Or did yours just swell?

(Look, ass, I made fun of the TV posts. That's all. I thought it would be taken as funny. Apparently I was wrong. Big fucking deal. I have the impression that I could make fun of clowns and you would be right here, telling me why I'm a shit for saying such a thing. Get the fuck over yourself.)

I think we found who liked Teddy Ruxpin, and probably liked Strawberry Shortcake too.

What the fuck do you have against clowns?

Christopher Goffard is my new hero. I gotta get me a 'stache like that. Speaking of sartorial matters, I just found my first grey (gray?) hairs. I am fired up. In a good way. Now I can be distinguished counsel instead of a maverick young turk. If I were still litigating, I'm sure I'd win a lot more motions now.

Hey Jack. After three listens, I think I'm much less keen on "Electric Version" than I was on "Mass Romantic." Not enough Neko (the Onion's review said the same thing). That said, it's still a damn good album. Gonna go listen to it again. By the way, should one with pretentions to being a serious music fan be ashamed to like the new Jack Johnson album? This is purely hypothetical, of course.

Um, OK. People are weird. Not least me, because I can't figure out why I think those things are so compulsively watchable.

Incidentally, thinking of weird flash-movies that are funny even if badly animated, the Mr. is apparently going to meet Odd Todd.

I disagree. I think those things are all quite played out. Sorry.

New Message Board?
 

Someone today was looking for a new message board (I forget who)? Anyway, I found one:

One (sample) message follows:

Sounds about on our level.
