Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Plus I hear the work/life balance there is awful.
Anyone who had the opportunity to hire Plei or Glam and failed to do so is clearly out of their freaking minds, but I still have to put in a kneejerk Not All Departments on behalf of the mothership here.

This was, from all accounts, one of the Not All Departments.
There are others, too! I know a lot of people there. I'm really not great at selling myself the way they want people to sell themselves, though. Their questions you needed to write up a response to were a big basket of WTF.
I mean, I recognize that a large part of my problem is that I have yet to be able to figure out how to market myself and bitterly resent that it's necessary, but those were still BS questions to choose from.

Sorry. Job hunting sucks.
Here's an interview question I got once.
Let's say you have 8 pennies and 1 penny is lighter than the others. If you have a balance scale what is the minimum number of measures do you need to take with it to find the light penny?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Is the answer 4?
I hate job hunting and interviews, and dates, and auditions, and self-evals, and annual reviews. A trend maybe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

God, that's such a critical skill and so hard to figure out! It's the exact problem I have doing my job, for the organization. Like, we can sell ourselves the way a lot of people want us to, but there are some key ones where we can't quite get there.

Is the answer IDGAF how does this relate to my job?
Is the answer Who's shaving pennies you know that's a Federal crime?

I am so irritated that I'm thinking about this. Like, if you get lucky, couldn't it be one? Put 4 on one side, 4 on the other, and if they balance, the spare one is lighter.
