Yeah. Like when they spring the "one word to describe yourself" thing on you, and you don't have the guts to make things up.

"Um...I think I would describe myself as intuitive because, um, I work on instinct...rather than...um, logic? (FUCK!)"

That's not really one word.

Ya, what do you have on your resume that would make him ask that?

I think that hyphenated words count as one word.

There is nothing more that I fear than the job interview. Death seems like an adventure in comparison to the horrifically unnatural form of communicating that is a job interview. Hey Todd, at least it good that you moved on. My fault is that when I get even the slightest bit nervous (which happens around ppl I KNOW for crying out loud) my brain goes blank. I'll forget what job I was applying for, basic words and phrases, and maybe even my mother's name.

i give todd two years before he cracks and starts screaming about his problems and letting out all his rage on an old lady sitting next to him on the bus.

How did that come up in the interview?

Job interviews suck. They are pure torture. I can never seem to find the right thing to say. And the worst part is when they say "Do you have any questions for me?" and I just stare at them blankly and then say something lame like "No, I think you covered everything." I never know what questions you are supposed to ask (and I feel like you have to ask questions, otherwise it reflects badly on you).

How would you describe yourself in one word?

Dependable.

Dependable?

Like the adult diapers, Depends, I'll be there to cover your ass when most need me. It may be when you're not even expecting to need me, but shit happens, and I'm there for support.

You're hired!

They count as one word, but still aren't REALLY one word.
