Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I had the walk-away gene.

As in he didn't apply for a job with it?

Yeah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm reminded of my friend Ian, who had a very large iguana that he'd take for walks. He said that it was a chick-magnet -- at least for the type of women he would be interested in.

I would be that type of woman who wouldn't be able to resist stopping and petting the giant iguana. In such situations I often find myself more focused on the animal than its keeper, though, so their intent to meet chicks is thwarted. Their pet met the chick.

That resume is funny if not-real and sad if real.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If I ever saw someone apply for a job with that resume, I would never stop talking about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah.

It's pretty trivial to make that true, though. No reason to only apply for jobs you want, and if you can take on the risk of notoriety which it seems his schedule can, why not? Just send the normal resume to the places you want to actually impress.

Would you have talked to him if he didn't have the iguana? If not, then he's not thwarted, he hasn't lost anything.

Yeah, but without the iguana, he wouldn't know it! He'd never know I'd talk to the iguana but still not be interested in him. He could go on his way thinking, "if only I had a pet iguana, that hot chick would talk to me." He would only be sad for what didn't happen, not for what did.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just read a job description at work at it requires a "two year degree in word-processing studies". Is that even a thing?
