I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Surely someone wants to pay a weary sarcastic questioner of authority to fix all the dumb crap they're doing wrong

In my experience, companies who THINK they want energetic go-getters actually NEED world-weary problem solvers. The trick is faking energetic go-getter in the interview.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"challenging fast-paced environment" just means "we are probably under-staffed and need you to figure out stuff on your own." Which you know you can do.

This should be memed and shown every Christmas.

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

I suspect "challenging" means no one is going to help you, and "fast-paced" means constantly playing catch-up because disorganized and inefficient.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yup, sounds right. Alla dat.

Interview~ma, msbelle!

I'm about to go see Jumanji 2. I rented the first one (the first recent one with Mr the Rock) but I only got about 10 minutes into it. So it goes.

Punishingly Intricate

Well,my org is definitely fast-paced and we're neither disorganized nor inefficient. We just have a ton of complicated work to do on deadlines.

Our wings are not tired.

I've really enjoyed all the Jumanji variations. Good fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've also worked places that THOUGHT they were fast-paced, but in fact, were not. Mostly I think people don't know how to write job postings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Smiling for an hour is TOO MUCH for me right now in my life. That said - I think it went well - she has 5 potential positions to put me up for or inquire about. She thinks I should be able to get my desired salary and she didn't say anything about re-doing my resume.

That's awesome!
