Swiper, no swiping

Sheesh, what I meant to say the other day was that the neighbor's network works much better than ours. Ah, proofreading.

Speaking of which, a friend of mine showed me a resume the other day that included "good poofreader" as a skill.

Speaking of resumes, I'm getting ready to put out the help wanted sign. I bought a book of job interview questions, because I'm really a lame interviewer. The book includes a chapter with "25 questions to identify workers who may be disgruntled or prone to violence."

So, how many of your previous bosses have you shot?

Or maybe it should be more open-ended...Tell me about a time when you wanted to shoot your boss.

Or you could test for creativity: If you wanted to kill your boss without shooting, stabbing, strangling, or poisoning, how would you do it?

So that will be my weekend reading. Maybe it will give me a blog topic or two, since the creative well has run dry. Not that I'm online so much, since I'm still stealing the neighbor's internet connection. I feel really bad about that, but I feel worse without my blog fixes.

I actually came up with 2 or 3 answers right off the bat to the creative question. I will refrain from posting them. Not a shock, really, considering how much I hate my profession this week. What kind of job are you hanging the sign out for?

I was sorry to hear you had such a rough week, RP. It's a tech writer job...pretty low stress, if you want a massive lifestyle switch! ;-)
