I was kidding. I totally always lead with that at any job interview if asked, "Why should we hire you for X position." It tells me a) if they get my
sense of humor (although I am fairly awesome) it embodies my belief in myself that if *I* do not like uh, believe in myself, I am not going to do a good job, I am not going to strive for AWESOMENESS and even more importantly there are some folks who are SO DEEP in the hole, you got to reach in and say I can tug hard, you gotta grab onto the tunnel walls, man. But as long as you push a millimeter I will not let you fall," Marsha Linhahan, goddess of therapy, taught me that. I was lucky enough to train with her in DBT and she talked about the dialectic of believing in yourself as the therapist, while helping the patient believe in themselves, via your belief for them. She then had us do one of her damn "Mindfulness participation exercises" and it was to dance (along with your trainees, in an imaginary dance of your choosing, with any person living or dead) which as I am sure you can imagine started out hesitantly.
Then she informed us whenever she danced, she would imagine dancing with every single mental patient currently incarcerated. Having been involuntarily locked up for like 7 weeks one time,. I began bawling my eyes out that someone could be that INCREDIBLE. Well, I guess she's a Zen monk too they think deep things like that. But when I think of those 7 weeks and what they were like I tear up, knowing that somewhere, someone might be dancing with me, and I didn't even know it. I always cry. They were some of the worst weeks of my life, I have had a few.
So trust me there is plenty more AWESOME out there than me, but like, I DO want people to unabashedly know a) I don't think I suck and even going there is losing half the battle or whatever. If they like it, it's a good interview. If they act like you are a nut job, you do NOT want to work there.
So the VA ,they loved the answer I guess but maybe a little too much. I mean, I thought I would have 3-4 months to prepare. THEY ARE EXPEDITING MY APPLICATION THEY ARE MAKNG CREDENTIALERS WORK ON WEEKENDS I AM NOT READY and I CAN'T SLOW IT DOWN.
I don't want to do it so fast. So my second response is sarcastic. It just it is what it is. Maybe a meteor is gonna hit in Douglas or something WHO KNOWS.
But yeah, I will continue to ask the question but I will ALSO not be "guided": by the government OEM process for hiring it is clear they can move MUCH faster when they want to. Jesus.
Well I suppose they can set off nuclear bombs in one night, that is moving scary fast.
I just don't want to leave the husband alone to do all the packing and ARGH.
Anna
Fortunately, "Rehab Anna" is coming right along. I thought I would hurt insanely, but I asked my "Creator please be my flesh and I will be my bones." (I don't have ar
thritis is why I asked that. I also told my Creator I was certain it had better balance than me, but that I had more EXPERIENCE with falling, so I would handle that side of things.) So yoga was great 7 am day 3 approaches baby and it is SATRUDAY and I am also gonna vacuum and mop the floors. I will get
through this vile temporal anomaly.
