I can't imagine a more distasteful thought than having to sell yourself to a prospective employer. Thankfully, I am just hoping for a promotion. But you still need to dust off ye olde resume` and polish up and add to what the interviewer will see and downplay any inadequacies/deficiencies you have. I think that is inherently deceptive. What should occur is that an interviewer should be able to crawl into your head and understand why you deserve a job or do not. You wouldn't be able hide anything, and they would maybe have a more complete understanding of who you are. Of course, the reciprocal would have to occur, and the expectations of what the interviewer is looking for, would then be clear to you. Or you can take the blue pill and forget all about it and the story will end. So, all that typed to say, I hope to get a new job at the company I already work for and I hope they will understand why I am qualified for it, over someone outside the organization.

Allison, my sister was in the ER last Friday. When the phone rang last Friday evening, and my mom told me of her day spent in the ER with Allison, I felt as if someone had stomped on my stomach. That prolly would have felt much better than how my sis was feeling at the moment, but I digress. Apparently Allison had a cyst burst. Now I was unaware of the "common" nature of cysts and how they attach themselves to ovaries. Much less that if they burst, how painful it must be. My concern existed and still exists on several levels. 1. Why does she have cysts in the first place. 2. Why did the cyst burst. 3. Will there be more cysts and will they also burst. 4. What is the danger of cysts when they burst. 5. Will this affect her ability to have children. 6. Do these cysts pose a cancer threat. 7. What are the next steps to be taken. I have no definitive answers to these concerns, outside of their "common" nature to occur. I love my sister and do not want her in pain, so I like some friggin answers. If these things are so bloody common, then why can't doctors come up with any better answers?
