WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff."
What's weird is that's not how I pronounce WTF in my head. It's closer to "Wha-t'fuh?"
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Freaky. That's how my head pronounces it too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course that's how you pronounce it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I left my previous job to freelance upon the birth of a child in 2004, and that I'm now seeking a return to full-time work
I completely understand your rationale for saying it, but this may cause red flags for some employers...kids mean having to take time off for illness, etc. Of course, do you really want to work for the employers it does cause red flags?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm more a "what-uff" person, myself.
I just overheard the oddest work-related discussion in the break room. I think they were applying some sort of Principle of Relativity to the truth of a co-worker's statement about something in a project. All about fluid, or fixed in time and space, and frames of reference for his reliability -- tres weird.
I ratted out the co-worker that won't play nice. It's weird, because he's higher up than I am, in a different group of the organisation. But I can't keep stringing along the people that need the info.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Which reminds me -- someone I was hanging out with the other day kept saying WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff." It was weird.
There's that Internet video that's been out for a while, with everything being scribbled on a pad and the voiceover guy expounding on how we're all going to nuke each other out of orbit (the French complain that they are "le tired" before they fire the missiles), and Australia is down in the corner going "WTF, mate?" He pronounces it "double-you-tee-eff", but in a bad Aussie accent. Which is funny, and perhaps where the person got it?
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Dude. Saying it that way is two syllables too many.

Hee. Yes, this exactly.

Yes. I love that thing - whatever it's called.

Cereal:
My god. I found it by googling world "le tired"
Pretty sure someone here linked it the first time I saw it, but anyway. It makes me laugh, so I'm re-linking.
Uh, there's sound, and it's not work-friendly.

I wouldn't, and they're going to find out I have a kid eventually anyway.
We'll see what happens with these first few cover letters I've sent out. If I don't get so much as a nibble, I may change my approach or ask advice from my old career counselor.
