I've decided I dislike the whole proposition system.
Yeah, I'm pretty much with you on that. It sounds all nice and super democratic, but we end up with unworkable messes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I snapped. Went to the ER this morning. I no longer have that damned headache. Just a dull pain. It's bliss! And they fed me again. Shame about the whole scrambled eggs thing. But there were breakfast potatoes and some pretty good (what they said were) vegetable sausage.
Working on a pre-screening questionnaire for a job application. I bet they won't even read the whole thing. I've been working on it for more than half an hour so far.
The question I'm leaving for last is "why are you interested in working with [redacted]?" For the money, people. For the money.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Hate that question.
Because if isn't just for money the real reason is something like my current job is driving me batshit, or my commute with be shorter or something equally pragmatic.

Is that the sort of thing where "for the money" is understood but they expect you to fill in answers like "I look forward to the challenge of expanding my skillset and taking on responsibilities outside the areas I've previously worked in"?

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

Ooh. You could give an answer that at first glance they'll think is good, when in fact it's not.
"I look forward to the challenge of enhancing my skillet with eggs and bacon and fresh vegetables."

I need to sit down and read through all these measures because I have a feeling that some of them may make things worse, but I'm not sure which ones those are.
I read through this: [link] and now I'm reading ballotpedia!

Oh, cool, that's exactly what I need.
