Pet peeves: The return (Part 1)

I got a fairly decent bag of goodies when I wrapped up my sex educator for children and youths course today. A few good games to use when educating, a lot of pamphlets to help me remember how to teach healthy practices and then… just so many novelty condoms. Some so novel that most grocery stores and even pharmacies don’t stock them cuz they don’t sell.

I wondered about that
Especially when they ask “…and why do you want to work here?”
Because, my boy, I DON’T HAVE A FRIGGIN JOB and you offering one? Because its sux we need money to pay bills, or buy food…

I wish to exchange my labour for monetary recompense, however at a lower value than my labour is actually worth, so as you can ensure to make a profit from it.

“So why do you want to work for our company?”

“Money”

“Really that’s your only motivation?”

“What’s a company primal goal?”

“To make mo…”

“See.”

I always find that something strange. They want you to sound super-motivated, which, to some degree I can understand, but… let’s be honest, most people, both recruiter and jobseeker, know that it’s just because we need to make a living somehow.

I sincerely want to know if there are people who manage to pass a job interview saying “I want this job to pay rent, food, insurances, entertainement… In short, the normal things any productive member of society is supposed to be doing.”

Seriously, this is what it boils down to. Sure you can have an extra motivation like a passion for said domain or job but in essence, it’s to fullfil that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

If only I could pay my bills with my passions.

But even then I’d be dirt poor.

I’m glad to work in an industry where literally no-one is passionate about it even if it’s pretty necessary.

What is it?

wouldn’t recruiters know anyway when someone is overplaying the ‘woo i REALLY love WORKING and this OPPORTUNITY please hire ME’

how many even care about it as long as u can get the job done

BG2 thieves guild requiring you to stop in every five minutes to give Renal his due.

No other strongholds need that micromanagement to keep it.

Got about a week before I gear up MCH on my bunny.

Gave into my base instincts and started up a Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines playthrough. Finished the Downtown area and stopped playing.

It is so much edgier than I remember it being, and kind of cringe. It doesn’t make it unenjoyable, but given I’ve already played it a few times I don’t really have an incentive to keep going for now.

Going to get back to the based Persona 4: Golden which I was getting really into.

It’s cringeworthy. Cringeworthy!

Modern Nights is extremely edgy, hecking young vampires.

I mean, it’s a game based on a property explicitly created to appeal to theatre kids and Anne Rice fans.

Even if I haven’t logged on in WoW for months now, I still occasionally scroll trough Argent Archives new characters list and try to guess whether a character is a lord or a lady based purely on their name. It is a bit concerning that I am getting pretty good at it.

Can 9.1 drop so I know we’re getting closer to the end of SL?
