I am poor and hungry and need a job badly. I get an interview and show up dressed appropriately (as opposed to the pajamas I've been wearing to work for the last eight years) . I begin to chat with the Human Resource Representative. As I am answering her question about where I see myself in five years, I notice a small frown on her face. she is reading from a sheet of paper tucked into a manilla folder. I keep talking, brilliantly expounding on my deep desire to spend my golden years with this particular company and I realize that she isn't listening to me. She is still reading the same piece of paper and the frown has deepened. She looks up and abruptly says "I'm sorry, we have already filled the position" and rises from her chair. My rent is due, the phone has been cut off and I am desperate. I beg her to reconsider. She gets up and briskly walks to the door motioning for me to follow. she looks shaken. I pick up my purse and crane my neck to see what it is that she was reading in the folder, now on the edge of her desk. I can only see the first few sentences upside down but and a cold chill of recognition washes over me.... "14. I started my period much later than all of my peers and was embarrassed about it so I faked it. I would bring tampons to school and have them accidentally spill out of my purse in class. " and so now you know why I am never going to answer the 25 question thingy.

About #25, yes. I found that having to deal with that many random items forced me to think very differently. I started out uptight and gradually relaxed into a groove that seemed right. Thank you!
