Ramblings. Direct from me to you.: 11/01/2006

I think I've figured it out. (rant)

Something that I've noticed about myself is that when I borrow a book, it takes me FOREVER to read it (I have a friend who is the same way). This is something that is perfectly normal for me. I will eventually read them. But, *I* have to be the one who expresses the initial interest in reading it.

I've been handed (on loan) three books over the past year. All of them are the inspirational, change your world view sort of books. All of them were lent to me without my knowing they existed until they were handed to me.

I have only read one of them (the first), and that was because it was my boss who said I should read it for work. A few weeks later, when the district manager asked if I had read it yet (I hadn't), he got pissed at me for not being 'responsible' or other some such whatever. So, I read it (it was short). It was kinda pointless. I was in NO WAS inspired. I couldn't return the book fast enough.

The other two books were just given to me, and are of a similar stripe. I have only touched them to move them out of my way when I needed the table space for something else.

Thanks to my teacher friend, I think I've figured out why I'm so reluctant to use these books as more than a paperweight. It's because they're nothing more than freaking unsolicited advice in paper form. They're the exact same damn thing as somebody saying "you know, what you need to do is..."

I detest these bloody books. I've read several of them (willingly), and they just don't jazz me up like you see them doing on Oprah.

So, yeah. Don't hand me these books. I don't want unsolicited advice, and that is all that these things are.

Ok, I've had my rant.

Hmmm...

Went to an information session for a local credit union. It was a pre-interview sorta thing. It was mostly info on the company (values, goals, etc). They capped it off with a written test. It was something along the lines of an IQ test. Basically, the purpose of this session was to separate the wheat from the chaff. Will it lead to an interview? I hope so. When will I find out? Any time from tomorrow to 89 days from now. That is assuming that they want to interview me.

Well, we'll see what happens. *crosses fingers*

What type of gay guy are you?

You are the committed type! You like to have one boy and you don't want to share him. You don't need anyone else but him. You're into fucking him every night and no one else.

Pretty much sums me up.
