got my mind made up

I'm applying for a job tonight, I've applied for so many jobs that I realize this is in itself my basic vocation in life these days. It's hard to figure out an artful but not redundant way to say that you shower every day and people like you and you know how to type several dozen words a minute, especially when this is all I would want to know about myself: "I like David Bowie and half a dozen Bad Brains songs, and pictures of 2Pac wearing awkward leather outfits. The older I get the more I hate the zoo. I am fanatical about maintaining proper grammar when confronted by obscure plurals such as 'data' and 'criteria'."

Based on those things, I would hire me. But no one else would. So this is why I will never be in charge of hiring anyone for anything, and more importantly for the present, why no one will hire me.

my friend used to joke, when she was on an epic hunt for jobs (that ended successfully!!) that the reason she probably wasn't getting a job is that when people asked her what her worst quality was, she would say "i have a little, i mean it's really small, just a little crack problem."

she didn't say that, just as i imagine you are not including pictures of tupac.

i would hire you if i somehow could, and i'm not just saying that. i would hire you and sabs and put you two in charge of being smart.
