11 de janeiro It's about time I updated this blogAnd as nice as MSN is to me, I probably need to get myself on board a proper blog site to deal with all the hell that comes in on a daily basis.
In the meantime, since I am a wonderful story teller, I give you the news of the past few months in a rather disorganized mesh of consciousness.
At some point in my contract with BC Hydro, all hell broke loose and I slowly went to destroy any hopes of continuing to work there. My ability to network had gone so horribly wrong that I ended up getting in trouble for networking. On top of that I had a bright idea from my supervisor that I should pee on the floor. Why pee on the floor? I guess that's just the way things are done at Outreach. I was told we'd get blamed for it whether we did or not. Why? Because BC Hydro Outreach staff are the "face of BC Hydro" but not really much more than that.
So jump forward and I'm looking for work and trying to focus on a definitive career path. It's very hard to do so when I really just know what I don't want to do. Maybe the process of elimination is the slow way of going about doing things. Why not write random shit on an internet blog?
Anyway, I have to practise my interviewing skills very wel. I admit that I haven't been the most successful at it because I am not reviewing my typical interview questions and I'm not even having an answer for "Why do you want to work here?" "What is your ideal day?" "What animal would you be?"
So why do I want to work here?
Well, I looked at the job description and it looked like something I could do. Do I have a passion for brushing teeth? Not really. Do I a vocational need to sell coffee? Well, I enjoy some aspects of the job, but the majority of the time, I know the work will be mundane and uninteresting. However, the benefit to that is I get money. That money I can use to buy things like food and clothing. It'll help me out with a place to live. Money is a means to an end and your company happens to be a right fit enough that I don't want to stab myself every time I come in to work. I don't find your company's work displeasurable neither do I find it pleasurable. It is a satisfying absence of feeling that implores me to work with you.
What would be my ideal day?
You, the boss, would tell me what to do and let me do it. Don't fuck around and tell me I'm doing it differently than you. As long as it's working and the job's getting done, STFU. I could care less how you did it when you were in my position. You hired me because I already had the skills and what skills I lacked, you thoroughly brainwashed new skills into me during the week long training program taught by HR personel who have no background in teaching but have spent a lot of time developing something that would appear to be engaging and educational. Thank you for being in HR instead of being teachers.
Back to the question, my ideal is one where I never talk to you or see your face so you don't know what I'm doing and I don't know what you're doing. Do not come into my office space and tell me how busy you are. If you are truly busy, you wouldn't have time to tell me so. I've got a lot of facebooking and solitaire to catch up on and I would rather you leave me alone to do that. I am sure you also have a lot of time wasting to do.
My ideal day is to come in to work whenever I feel like, finish what I have to do for the day and go home. If it takes me 4 hours to finish, I'm going home. If it takes me 10 hours, so be it. Give me the flexibility to desgin my own day and you'll see a productive employee.
What animal would I be? What the fuck do you mean? What animal would I be?
"If I was an animal, I would be Malaria, not the mosquito that carries it but plasmodium itself. Then I would have been responsible for killing more people throughout history than the combined efforts of all the wars and all other diseases. I look at it as a challenge to myself to be the best that I can be. It also shows how adaptable I am. I'm always one step ahead of the game. Even in the face of irradication with DDT, I am triumphant. I work well as a team with my mosquito counterparts to destroy humanity. My greatest weakness is my inability to stop destruction.Now that my font has changed colours, I will continue with more mandatory interview questions.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Doing your job so I can sit around and be lazy too.
Ah, I'll update this when I'm not lazy myself with more interview questions. |
