The interview meme strikes back.
May. 4th, 2005 01:47 pm1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Questions asked by flatlander:
1) What do we not know about Wicca that you think we should know?
We're not a pile of amoral heathens. We have morals or ethics that can be summed up by the Rede: "An it harm none, do as you will". The Rede is short, sweet and all-encompassing. We don't need a huge pile of dos and don'ts to keep us from being asshats.
2) Are you good with houseplants?
No, I have a black thumb. Almost every plant in my care withers and dies.
3) Care to rant about work a little?
How about I rant about the lack of work? I've been sending resumes around, but no nibbles yet. This economy is crap right now. Every time I see some smirking Repugnican on TV saying the economy is improving, I want to smack the shit out of him or her.
3b)What _is_ your job anyway?
I'm not easy to categorize, but I generally end up in the "Administrative Assistant" category since I'm a software whiz.
4) Are your eyes really as blue as they appear in your SouthPark avatar?
Yes. Blue with a steely gray undertone.
5) So how are things at home?...still feeling newlywed-ish, you two?
No complaints on the marriage front. Every time we see some goofy couple on TV fighting or acting stupid, we marvel at how well we get along. It helps that we're so like-minded politically.

Date: 2005-05-04 09:24 pm (UTC)Actually I've played video games more often than any of my instruments recently. Though I also do play flute (flute was my first), clarinet and anything I can get my hands on really. My bassoon is a Fox Renard, I would have a contra too but I decided to buy a car. Oh well I can still play the school's instrument when I want.
Lubbock huh? I had some relatives living down there. Not sure if they're still down there or not though.

Been Meaning To Post
Date: 2005-05-09 01:43 am (UTC)It's a little frustrating to see a number of open positions, know you're perfectly qualified, if not over qualified for them, apply or send resumes, and never hear back. Never. Hear. Back. WTF?! It's as though they're trying to make me feel old and useless. The asshats!
Whenever I spend time looking or prepping to apply, I'll think good thoughts for us both.
