Moo. Well, I have a job interview tomorrow! That is pretty cool. It's at a place that tries to keep offenders from getting themselves put right back into prison. The job sounds....busy. Hope I can pull it off. What's the best thing to say when they ask you what your worst qualities are? I am thinking, 'well, I get really excited about computers and teaching people how to use them properly and not everybody is into that so just let me know if I geek out too much on you.'[More:]
They want me to do some 15 minute competency test. It's a secretarial post. The job description doesn't particularly demand any specific software so I guess it will be just to make sure I'm not a complete spelling-proof blethering idiot. I am currently typing this post in traditional Grace Loud and Impressive Typing Style. Woo yippee woo. Hopefully that will impress them too. What else are they likely to test me on?

I am already embroiled in Left Wing Infighting in my new town. We're sending someone to The Kick Ass Cairo Anti-War Conference, and it's a friend of mine, and some other fuckers wanted me to withdraw support for him because he got too drunk one evening! Well, it was me he accused of being a CIA agent when blootered, and if I forgive him, so should they. Well woo yippee hoo hoo, I am sure he will be fine. He is going with his MOM. Fortunately I nipped this in the bud. The National Chair-Cow agreed for him to go, so it's not like Sour Grapes Boy can stop it without creating a large fecal situation.

I've got a speaking gig this evening, and another gig in two weeks, that will be a spiffy one, it's in Edinburgh and I'm gonna be talking about The Wiretapping In The US.

COW SOUNDS! Wow, this is quite a blog post.
Oh, shit, most of that was supposed to go INSIDE. I am sorry, taz please fix? I am not used to the MeCha interface yet.

Fixed - now go get 'em! Let us know what happens.

Your answer to the question about worst qualities is fantastic - way to turn a negative into a positive ;)

I do the same thing with those "worst quality" questions. If the worst thing about you is a good thing - wow, your best qualities must RAWK! I don't know if this is the answer interviewers are looking for, though. *shrug*

Good luck! It sounds like a good cause.

Worst quality: I am a workaholic and it interferes with my family life.

Excellent answer to the worst quality question, grace. I intend to swipe it.
