I am seriously asking for trouble now.
My school is making me take a Career Development course. I'm thirty-years-old, not twenty, so I simply don't know why I can't test out of this. However, here I am, taking this online course where I have to tell versions of me from ten-years-ago, "Way to go on that draft of your resume!" It's insulting and, frankly, a huge waste of money and time.
Nevertheless, I'm going to pass it. So here's the first part of the first assignment:
You must ask five friends, relatives, and associates to list 10 adjectives that describe you as they view you. Explain that you are looking for words that will describe both your strengths and weaknesses, as they perceive them. Ask them to focus on the way you present yourself, as well as describing character and personality traits.Yeah, I know. Fucking dumb, right?
This assignment is due tomorrow night, so you have approximately 24 hours to contribute. Ten adjectives describing me, good and bad. Use the comments.
Go!
15 Comments:
Cynical. Inflexible. Arrogant. Contrarian. Elitist. Non-conformist. Ararchistic. Disestablishmentarianist. Saucy. Sexy.
Womanly, hirsute, anodyne, idiosyncratic, humanoid, benignant, gentlemanly, offensive, Rabelaisian, & good.
Well, Arlo I have never met you, and in fact am a total voyeur of your blog, just somebody who happened to find it by chance, laughed my ass off and have been coming back ever since. So, I figure what the hell, let's make you look good:
bright, insightful, well-read, studious, world-wise, just-plain-wise, handsome, smart (in the British sense of stylish [see below]), astute, and erudite.
If you don’t like smart: try elegant, neat, tidy, stylish, chic, well-dressed, well turned-out, dapper, debonair, or thin.
And for our French speaking friends: Lumineux, perspicace, bien-lisez, studieux, monde-sage, juste-plat-sage, beau, futé, astucieux, et érudit.
Why don't you just say "I had an ingrown hair in my penis. What job does that qualify me for?"
Arlo is:
Responsible
Humanly oriented
Resourceful
Accurate
Versatile
Pioneering (an innovator)
Creative
and a better actor than I am (maybe not).
i think if you just go to a job interview and sing the theme song from 'Orgazmo', your future employer will have no choice but hire the manly man that you are.
I'm assuming that its too late now, so I'll just submit the Snow Scouts's Alphabet Pledge from Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events, books 10 and 11:
Snow Scouts are accomodating, basic, calm, daring, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xylophone, young and zippered - every morning, every afternoon, every night and all day long!
...only put in "Arlo is..." in place of "Snow Scouts are..."
Richard, you cakesniffer!
Arlo does not even look like a snow scout. I have never seen him wear a "bright white uniform with enormous zippers down the front and emblems of snowflakes, in all different sizes and shapes, along the long, puffy sleeves...etc.
Your loss.
Strange, Dr. Smith, because that's very similar to my average Friday-night attire these days.
As Richard said, your loss.
Arlo, so you also have one of those amusing hats? I really would like to see this.
Perhaps, I should get out more often. Where do you usually hang-around on Friday nights?
Your mom's house.
I just read the anonymous comment, the "total voyeur of [the] blog," and I would like to say (A) thank you, and (B) yes, I am handsome, and (C) Francophones are tres bien!
As Richard has not named you yet, you are heretofore François "Poop Chute" de la Choucroute. (If you're une femme, Françoise.)
mais oui, Arlo, mais oui!
