Both Doof and Neko read the subject of my last post as "Bits and Boobs". That amuses me greatly.
Also, I mentioned in said last post that I'd rather forget a strange dream I had. I just realised that actually mentioning it on my blog, and then describing it to Neko afterwards... probably wouldn't help me forget it!
I have nothing else to say, really. I just wanted to make a gratuitous mention of Doof.
Doof doof doof. Hmm, now I just feel like listening to some trance.
Oh, alright. Just so this post isn't totally useless, I do have a revelation to share. You know how in job interviews, interviewers almost always ask about strengths and weaknesses? Well, it's easy enough for me to talk about my strengths; the challenge comes in keeping it brief! I have struggled with the 'weakness' section though...I've never really been sure of what to say.
It hit me today - one of my weaknesses? I'm reluctant to ask for help, even when I'm completely snowed under. I'd much rather work through lunch, put in ridiculous amounts of overtime and deprive myself of sleep, than to ask someone else to help me out.
This is mostly because of another weakness that I have - my need to have control and order. And my belief that if you want something done properly, you have to do it yourself. And then there's my OCD nature which makes me twitch when someone else takes over and does it "wrongly". And of course, if they 'help' me out, I'll still have to look everything over, and I'll probably end up redoing it, thus spending even more time on a task than I would have without asking for help.
Uh...ok, so perhaps my unwillingness to ask for help isn't my only weakness.
I have issues...and I'm proud of them.
Yeah, that's about it. I gotta get back to work now.
Doof.
