Good luck Vortex! Does that mean you have to commute to the law school?
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I didn't get the job because I don't have an outgoing enough personality!
What kind of job was it, sign dancer?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I just want a boss that I can trust. Is that so wrong?
Not so wrong! I hate people that tell you what you want to hear. One of our pastors is like that...basically the same personality as when he was a serious addict. Drives me no end of crazy. And I'm sure I rub him the wrong way too, because I always tell him how it is, even when I know he doesn't want to know it. Why can't people just say stuff that's true?
Anyway, yeah, good luck.

oh, quester, I'm sorry. Have you tried working with a job coach or someone like that who would give you honest feedback on how you come across in an interview?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
This time it was a dispatcher at a tech company. 2 weeks ago it was a receptionist at an insurance company. I can't believe this is a legitimate critisism! It's not like I don't speak to people or frown at them all the time.
No, I'm not gifted at making chit-chat and I don't feel comfortable joking around until I know people better. Why does that disqualify me for jobs?
I guess I'm not exuding confidence. Well, I've been unemployed for 2 years so, no, I don't have a lot to spare!

No, I haven't done that. I supposed I should but it seems very onerrous to me.

In my yearly review I got dinged for not being friendly with my coworkers. Apparently I'm not chatty enough in the lunch room and don't make an effort to have a work buddy. I'm afraid I got kind of snappy when I asked how being chatty about inanities in the lunch room affected my work as a tech support person over the phone and instant chats. I don't think my supervisor likes me as much anymore.
