#3 Thanks Schnarph, I have one actually. ( 30min timer ) I have been lurking on the uc steeping thread for awhile now :) Most of my stuff is fruit flavored so I don't know that it would really benefit me. But for brass (reloading) I bet it will work a treat!Thanks for the other suggestions of attys etc etc. I would not have thought of that.

It went WELL!!!

it was shorter than my last, and they spared me most of the nonsense questions and asked why i'd be good for the job, how i can improve my attendance, what leadership qualities do i possess etc....
if i dont get the promotion, its due to poor attendance last year. it wasnt terrible, but they want impeccable.
they said if i dont get it, it is only because of my attendance..


01/21 Entry #5 . . . .



GOOD LUCK & GOOD VIBES - being sent your way . . .:thumbs:

BTW: IMO - There is NO right answer to this question and I would ask/be asked this question all the time . . .It has to do with HOW "You" answer the question (including the quickness in which "You" respond) . . . More importantly, are you confident and know "Yourself" well enough to answer that question . . . Have "You" taken the time to evaluate what "You" do and how can "You" make improvements in "Your" JOB performance and/or "Yourself" . . .

As an example and one of the ways I responded to that question when asked . . .

It's funny you should ask that question, because the one thing that I consider one of "My" best attributes is also one of the things that is also one of "My" worst attributes - I am too much of a perfectionist at times. AND - While that is a good thing when it comes to writing reports and providing details as required by "My" position - it can also be something of a downfall when it comes time to hand in those reports in a more timely fashion to be reviewed before the final copy is submitted to the Executive Board/Review Panel . . .​

Then I would tell them how I am working on "correcting" or "improving" on that attribute . . .

AND - When I was hiring "Staff" or doing an annual review concerning their work performance during the year - I would look for the same type of response from them . . . :)

Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

If I remember correctly - "You're" in sales/collections - so also mention that while you are maintaining the client base - tell them what you can do to increase either for them . . . And - How can you motivate others to do the same . . . :thumb:

Hope this information is in time and helps Ya' . . . . ;)

that is an excellent strategy Unc. My mgr said something along the same lines. Answer with an opportunity, and have the solution in the next sentence.
I am glad the question didnt come up, but i did have a good response ready.

i also added into the interview (which was with 3 upper level managers) a strategy to improve a specific production point that has been falling. They liked the idea, and will possibly implement it. I think this strategy impressed them, and hopefully leads to me securing the position.

thanks everyone for the moral support. it alleviated a lot of my anxieties walking in. :)

Thanks for the confidence guys!



my record label, tru-vibe collective, is my side biz. more of a passion, with an incredibly unreliable, and small income stream.
ohh, im getting your wire and wick out tmw!
i have it ready to go, and am including some cotton yarn and sterile cotton balls. the latter may need to be boiled. :)



Thanks Jp and everyone!

I spoke with my manager and got some tips for the interview.
I am feeling good about it.

So cool that you have a record label! Are you a musician? I play harmonica (badly) :lol: No hurry on the items, thank you so much!

I'm glad your interview went well!:toast:

Class was fine. . . kept it short. It's hard to discuss literature when the student's haven't read anything yet!

Got my hair cut, and returned home to fix a beef stew. Put in the oven, and promptly fell asleep on the sofa for two hours.

Guess I'm not used to having any activity!

Have you ever had your hair cut so short that you did a double-take when you looked in the mirror? I must have been too engrossed in conversation with my hair stylist because I really didn't notice that she basically gave me a military buzz cut. I've had very short hair for years, but not this short! Sorry, it's kind of freaking me out!

Oh, and I was expecting vapemail today--two packages. As of about 10:00 a.m. this morning, the tracking information says "out for delivery." They weren't delivered, and the tracking information hasn't changed. I'm guessing that my carrier--who, as many of you know, doesn't have a great history--just forgot that he had packages on his truck. Is it really too much to ask for USPS to actually care
about getting mail to people? (I'm probably more irritated than I would usually be because both packages arrived at my local post office too late to be delivered on Saturday. So, it going to take five days for my mail to make the grueling 1/2 mile trek from my post office!)

Wow. I'm kind of cranky tonight!

I manage (as of a couple weeks ago) 13 djs, and work to find them work (ie: paying gigs) along with event production, promotion and coordination, as well as equipment (sound, turntables, club lighting) rentals and brokering.
My next event is on 1-31, where i am hosting my own stage at a two stage event called: OM ~ Together as One

just for fun, call: (520)4777-TVC
that is my 24/7 infoline, and will always have details on my next upcoming events.

Have you ever had your hair cut so short that you did a double-take when you looked in the mirror?

About 15 or so years ago I decided I wanted really really short hair, a buzz cut of sorts. I came to the conclusion that the best way to cut and maintain My hair this way was to purchase one of those hair trimming kits and do it Myself. Which is what I did. When I got home I went straight into the bathroom, slapped a #3 clip on and trimmed My hair. And I liked what I saw.
A little while later while checking out My handy work I saw that it needed some touching up. So I plugged it back in, put it to My head and ran it across the area that needed the touching up, it was at that point I realized I did not put the clip back on. The only solution was to take it all off.
So the answer to Your question is a big fat very bald YES. After My hair grew back out I continued to trim My hair WITH the #3 clip for about a year or so. Then I figured I should let My hair grow, while it was still an option.

No, not today. But I did threaten them with pop quizzes if they come to class unprepared to discuss the readings!

I'm glad that you interview went well.

Man, I am just exhausted. I'm off to bed.

MoonLit--thanks for the laugh! That's one of the main reasons that I don't do it myself. The truth is that I've been losing my hair for many years--I have almost a perfect "monk" bald spot right in the center of my scalp. I usually keep it short, but this was one step too far.

By the way, that's the same reason that I won't trim my own eyebrows. My brows grow really long--this has gotten worse as I've gotten older. I know it's not hard to trim them, but I'm afraid I would cut the whole thing off!

Good night, everyone!
