Sina: I’m going back to school next September.

Everyone: But you have a job.

Sina: Yah I’ll be leaving it.

Everyone: Sina, it’s a good job. You can’t leave it.

Sina: Yes I can.

Everyone: No you can’t.

Sina: Yes I can.

Everyone: Ummm, no you can’t.

Sina: Yes. I can.

Everyone: You don’t understand how the world works.

Sina: I’m pretty sure you don’t understand how the world works.

Sina: I love phone interviews.

Cass: Why?

Sina: Ummm duhh….because I can wear whatever I want and have messy hair and do whatever want. I can even roll my eyes at stupid questions and give them an “are you stupid?” face.

Cass: That’s kinda pathetic.

Sina: How on Earth is that pathetic?

Cass: Well it’s at least childish.

Sina: *are-you-stupid face*

Cass: Right.

Sina: *rolls eyes*

The dread begins

A dire warning from my new employer:

Poor judgement in providing policy options or carrying out issues management responsibilities would seriously affect the ministry’s ability to ensure the government’s economic development agenda is met. Errors in research, analysis, identification of tourism trends and determination of issues impacting tourism in Ontario could result in inappropriate policy decisions being made that may have a negative effect on the tourism industry and other sectors.

In other words: no room for errors here.

Shiva: Your résumé sucks.

Sina: What are you talking about?

Shiva: According to the text in the Résumé Bible, you’re intro paragraph needs to be two sentences longer.

Sina: There’s no such thing as a ‘Résumé Bible’.

Shiva: Of course there is, it’s right here, look. The words of the Résumé Bible are revealed to us by the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager is the most powerful person in the employment process, He is the ultimate decider of what is right and wrong on your application. And according to the sacred texts, your intro paragraph needs to be longer.

Sina: Shiva I don’t like you imposing your religious beliefs on me.
