And my response: 

RE: Indeed Job Posting – Executive Assistant

Dear Sir/Madam:

I will say that your position posting was one of the more interesting I have seen in quite a while. You emphasized speed, however when things are merely done quickly in order to meet an arbitrary deadline you risk sacrificing accuracy and completeness. Something to keep in mind as you move forward.

Now, as regards the lengthy list you provided regarding the qualities you are seeking:

• I am very organized and can maintain that system as long as you stay out of the files and not try to “help” me re-file items. Also, no digging through my desk and messing up the supplies and projects in progress.
• I do not necessarily equate grey with out-of-the-box. However, I have a large creative streak.
• A bit concerned about your classification as a cheapskate. Will that transfer to a battle over getting paid or my raise?
• While not able to recount chapter and verse of all the travel sites out there I am very smart and can manage to do comparisons of various offers
• I have the ability to remember a lot but you are on your own regarding keeping track of your kids/significant other/parent’s birthdays and gift preferences.
• Deadlines will be a close shave or missed because you did not give me all the information I needed to complete the task. After two instances I will implement a structured work request document for you to follow.
• I have had more than my fair share of pain in the ass managers during my career. Not all of which appreciated being told they were out of line, needed to put their heads down on their desk for five minutes, or to please remove themselves from my personal space.
• “You can deal with a real pain in the ass for a boss, who is always busy, bad at communicating, and does not give much direction” …. This makes me wonder just how many assistants have carried you to where you are today. These are really not characteristics to be that proud of.
• A mix of tasks does keep things interesting … however how many times have you had that poor dog neutered??
• Why am I lifting a box over my head? Just to re-stock it or is this some weird endurance fetish? If the latter – then I will pass.
• I am cool under pressure until my bullshit levels hit critical mass. Then I will either push back hard or walk away for 10 minutes.
• Working flat out has never resulted in any reduction in the size of my ass, so I am not sure the same effort for you will result in any lost inches.
• I definitely know a LOT about a huge variety of topics. A lot of which will probably not help you much in a modern business setting. But let me know if you have questions about medieval food preservation.
• Computers? You can fix issues by whacking them on the top with your fist right? Like we used to do with the old television in the family room.
• If your potty mouth includes blasphemy then I am calling you on it. I can handle the word “F*&(“, but screaming “Jesus Christ” at me is going to get you a bad reaction.
• What the HECK is Part time – full time? Is this code for “20 hours a week that will be such hell it will feel like 60”?

As to your questions:

1. I have been called tough, intimidating and unwilling to budge by more than one person over the years. Usually by someone who is not happy with me for refusing to change the game plan or deadline to account for their lack of planning. I like the phrase “Lack of planning on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on mine”. In my last position I stopped “covering” for a team member who had not made a deadline for six months and then expected me to revise a 70 page document an hour before the monthly meeting because he missed the deadline getting me his data … again. I stopped sending out revised reports moments before the meeting, and when we got to where his data should be there was a large blank page with the words “NO DATA SUBMITTED”. Yep, I threw him under the bus three months in a row. My manager told me I should stop embarrassing him in front of the team. I told his VP that it was unreasonable to expect me to inconvenience the other 40 members of the management team for this one person.

2. My last three bosses / managers – okay this will be just a sampling as with each position I reported to more than one person at a time.

a. Smith & Nephew – my last manager was the only one in our department who actually “got” me and did her best to give me opportunities to use my multiple talents. Our first VP and I had a sarcastic verbal sparring method of communication that worked really well for us. Unfortunately, he was replaced by a man who had a large pole firmly implanted in his backside that had removed any sense of humor or appreciation for working with a non-drone.

b. C.R. Bard – Similar story. My first manager let me take on work outside my written job description. Mainly because I was bored with nothing to do – and I did it well. Plus, she had been doing that task and hated it. She was replaced by a corporate drone who felt that even though I was working for HR I was too “friendly with the staff”. Whatever the heck that meant.

c. Wyeth – I loved my original manager. She had a firm grasp on not only what each team member did, but the difficulties they faced meeting metrics. She also had the maturity to share accolades with her team and not claim all the glory for herself. The entire team loved her and we worked harder for her than for the Black Widow that took over her duties when she left.

3. My ideal situation has evolved as I have matured and gained focus. At this time however, my short list would include:

a. Part time – I am back in college working towards a new focus for my degree and I need time for homework, projects and study. I am unable to commit working every weekend as well.

b. I do have interests and a life outside of the job. As such I have commitments already in place for specific days through November already. Most are during weekends, but there are a few that encompass a Friday as well. As I have already made these commitments, backing out of them is not, for me, the ethical thing to do.

c. Not interested in having to wear a uniform, I like color, design, texture and dress according to how I am feeling that day. It is always business appropriate (no sweats, pajama pants, jeans or flip flops) but not suit and tie formal.

d. COFFEE. Coffee must be available to me at all times.

e. I am an adult. I neither need, nor want, you to be my parent. If on Tuesday I am in five minutes late I will know it. The eyeroll, sigh or tapping of your watch is not necessary. On the other hand, if I am in the middle of a project that I can either put away because it is X o’clock, or stay 20 minutes and finish it today, there is a 90% chance I will do the latter.

f. I believe in compartmentalizing specifics of work and home lives. As such I will not send break-up flowers to your latest girlfriend, or do your Christmas shopping. I will put reminders on your calendar a week in advance that your mother’s birthday is coming up so you can send her a card. If you need to be out of the office for Yom Kippur for example, then I expect reciprocal consideration for Holy Week and Christmas.

g. Co-workers who are going to head to the restroom to cry because I say something sarcastic or ironic are to be avoided if possible.

4. My first non-babysitting job would be when I was 15 and I was employed as a cleaner for a local management company. I had to clean vacated apartments prior to new tenants moving in. Overall, a truly disgusting job. On the plus side I was allowed to keep any cash or items left behind that I found. My best score was the $100 in fives found in a freezer. This was followed up by a stint working fast food. Another disgusting experience. However, I did them in order to earn the money I needed to go to Hawaii for a week with my school orchestra/band for a run of concerts.

After high school my first “real” job was working in the accounting department of a private bank where I remained for two years. Pros: I learned a lot, had some amazing co-workers and made a great friend. Cons: very strict dress code, no opportunity to move into another position.

Now, having listed what many would consider downsides to working with your company, what can you tell me about why you should be fortunate enough to have me join your business?

Good luck!

If Mermaids were fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Well - it is confession time. This is where I expose a dark and geeky part of my misspent youth.

I LOVE the Rocky Horror Picture Show. My friends and I would go into the University District in Seattle every Saturday night to attend the midnight showing of RHPS. I know all the words to all the songs and almost all of the dialect word for word. And yes - I even got to the point where we would go in character and in costume.

For those who have never seen the RHPS - well, Google it. It would take several other posts to fully explain the movie, plot and subplots. You only need to know that the iconic song, and dance, is called The Time Warp as seen in this movie clip below.

"That is all well and good" you say, even as you are a bit bemused by what you have just seen if it was your first exposure to it, "But what does any of this have to do with Mermaids?"

To answer that I have to pass the buck to a local artist I know. A very gifted woman with a strong attachment to all things mermaid. She posted a draft of some new mermaids she had drafted a while back - Columbia, Magenta and Janet with a comment "...It's just a swim to the right .. " And then she noted that her significant other was trying to come up with more mermaid appropriate lyrics for the song.

As most of you know, I enjoy re-writing songs and stories in my own weird way. Which is how I came up with changing the Time Warp into The Mermaid.

The Time Warp

The Mermaid

It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely Not for very much longer I've got to keep control I remember doing the Time Warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me And the void would be calling Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again It's just a jump to the left And then a step to the right With your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again It's so dreamy Oh, fantasy free me So you can't see me No, not at all In another dimension With voyeuristic intention Well secluded, I see all With a bit of a mind flip You're into the time slip And nothing can ever be the same You're spaced out on sensation Like you're under sedation Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again Well I was walking down the street Just a having a think When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise He had a pick up truck and the devil's eyes He stared at me and I felt a change Time meant nothing, never would again Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again It's just a jump to the left And then a step to the right With your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again

Tigger's Adventure

 Another re-posting from my website of an incident which happened Christmas week of 2008


***********************************************************************

'Twas the night after Christmas, when all through the condo
Not a creature was stirring, not even Jay Leno;
My stockings were hung o’er the shower rod with care,
In hopes that the kitties could not reach them to snare;
Burrowed under my quilts, all snug in my bed,
While visions of Clearance Sales danced in my head;
With Naomi on one side, and Jericho on the other,
All warm and cozy for a long winter's slumber,


When from under the bed there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my covers to see what was the matter.
Looking about for the source of the crash,
Yanked on the side lamp and my big toe did smash.


Sounds behind the dust ruffle did fill me with dread,
But quickly I knelt to look under the bed
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But my darling boy Tigger who caused me to fear,
With electric cord in his mouth he did shiver and twitch
That for a brief moment I thought “This is it,
My darling sweet kitty is dying this night”,
But with panic and speed I grabbed hold to fight.


The light did unplug, into darkness descended,
With growls, claws and strength dear kitty was upended.
To the top of the stairs then down all he did tumble,
And noisily landing onto the carpet he rumbled.
We raced down the steps unsure of his status,
Only to stop short as he flailed and hissed at us.


Then down more stair steps like a crazed thing he flew,
Myself in pursuit with the other cats too.
And then, in the kitchen, all slid stop with a clatter
And I threw on the overhead to see just what was the matter.
As I drew near the kitty was still twitching around,
So round the midriff I held him to lift off the ground.


He growled and he wriggled, his jaw clamped hard shut
And then I did notice the thing from his mouth that did jut.
A skinny long thing with no fur, scales or tinsel,
For a moment I feared he had heaved out his tonsil.
Still almost asleep I blinked with pounding heart,
As my fingers and pressure forced kitty’s jaws apart.


His sharp little teeth clenched hard with all his might,
As I wondered just how badly he had injured himself tonight;
Then his jaws did spring open, he grumbled and groused,
While onto the floor dropped a limp and wet MOUSE!!!
I let out a shriek that rang loud in my head,
And stared at the limp thing that thank god was dead.


The other cats circled, quite intense to explore,
This new fangled play thing, laying slack on the floor.
I shooed them away as they grunted and yowled,
Then moved to the counter for a paper towel.
The clock read 3:30, the middle of the night,
As I bent to the body I yelled out in fright,
The mouse was NOT dead merely stunned or in shock,
And I quivered and flinched and looked round for a rock.


Then with several tissues, and not taking long,
I snagged it by the tail and flew into the john.
As it whirled down the toilet to the sewer to sink,
I shuddered and mumbled “By god, I need a drink!!”

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs - The Untold Story

Occasionally my brain takes a weird turn based upon something a friend may have posted online or said to me in person.  One such comment was made by a friend online a couple of years ago. It started like this:

Quote:

wvugurl, Looks like a beautiful day ahead of us, but alas, I'm still Sneezy. Or am I Dopey. My take on the Seven Dwarfs was that it was an allergy testing center for a major pharma, hehe.

And my response:

Oh no Sharing - you should KNOW by now how dangerous such a comment is .... it turns my little twisted brain down odd and scary pathways . And here is today's ................


From the files of Dr. W.I. Zard

• Bashful: In an effort to better handle his Social Anxiety Disorder the patient is now in counseling and on a regimen of Cymbalta.
• Doc: After years and years of being the authority figure for the other six, subject is now taking Amitiza for his Chronic Idiopathic Constipation.
• Dopey: Initially diagnosed as “slow”, this dwarf has more recently been identified as Autistic with savant tendencies. The group has elected to forego prescription drugs in favor of a controlled diet and supervised environment. Counseling is recommended to offset the associate self esteem issues from his unfortunate name.
• Grumpy and Happy: Recent genetic analysis has shown that the two are actually Monochorionic Twins. However due to a spell cast by the late Evil Queen’s grandmother on their mother the twins were not only born three months apart, but each was cursed to live at either end of the spectrum of Manic Bipolar Disorder. One being always Manic (Happy) and the other chronically depressed (Grumpy). Both are taking Lithium Carbonate while a reversal of the old curse is sought.
• Sleepy: Exhibiting all the classic traits of Narcolepsy the patient has shown a marked improvement in alertness and function since beginning treatment with Vyvanse.
• Sneezy: Severe environmental and seasonal allergies have been somewhat alleviated with the removal of allergen collectors, such as rugs and heavy drapes from the patient’s living quarters. Treatment with both prescription and OTC drugs for symptoms continues to be the best course of therapy.

Sharing the Simple Lifestyle - 07/15/09 04:49 PM

Honey, Laughed my head off! And now...just have to ask for your take on Snow White! I still think I'm Dopey + Sneezy, haha!

****************************

Well Sharing, it took a bit of digging but I was able, for a price, to get a hold of some session notes on the princess in question.

Excerpted from various session notes of Dr. Mack N Tosh, USDA

* Subject presents herself as the daughter of a King and his deceased Queen. Having lost her mother in infancy she was raised primarily by Nannies and Staff. An emotionally unavailable father and self-centered step mother have limited her ability to form appropriate attachments to parental figures - thus she has learned to self-parent however with mixed results.

* During a recent session patient claims to have seen and heard her step-mother "talking" to a looking glass, and that the object "responded". Recommend further evaluation to determine whether any psychosis is present.

* Patient missed her last eight appointments. Her story is that her step mother is jealous of her and ordered the King's Huntsman to take her into the woods on a ruse and then murder her - bringing back her heart as proof. We spent a lot of time examining whether this is the truth or a perception that may have arisen from her feeling as though she must compete with her step-mother for the attention and affection of a pre-occupied father.

She reports that unable to return to her home she has taken refuge in a cottage owned by seven small men. Further probing revealed the "men" are not just small in stature but are actually dwarfs. Having obtained their names I feel it my duty to do a background search on these individuals. Disturbing is the information that one seems verbally abusive, one is rather mentally challenged and they all sleep together in the same room. I urged her to return home and speak to her father but she claims to be happier being the unpaid housekeeper for these dwarfs. We need to address further her self esteem issues.

* Having come up with no public records of any kind on the dwarfs I am still uneasy with her continuing residence in their home. I am concerned that the patient may be slipping into a psychosis as comments about dancing with woodland creatures, birds helping her clean and other animal related tales come more often during our discussions.

* A new "character" has emerged in the patient's odd tales of life in the forest - a man. She states that one afternoon as she was gathering nuts and berries and performing operatic duets with chickadees (note: we really need to focus on this delusion!) a man just "appeared" to provide a pitch perfect tenor-baritone to this little concert. She claims to have run off and not done more than exchange a "warm glance" with said man.

While I am pleased to see that she may indeed still be able to find a normal man of interest, indicating that she is capable of learning to form more appropriate relationships, I am concerned that she still seems to only be at ease with the dwarfs. The P.I. I retained to dig deeper into their backgrounds has learned that they seem to have an abundant supply of gemstones to use in bartering for goods - but no rational or consistent explanation as to where the come from. He is looking into robbery reports within a five shire area to see if there may be a pattern.

* Patient again missed some appointments and two very disturbing tales were told by her. The first being that she had fainted and almost suffocated to death after being too tightly laced with new corset ribbons by a passing peddler. And then soon after an old woman looking for a few coins was combing her hair when she again lost consciousness. Both times she states that the return home of the dwarfs, and their actions, are what saved her life. My concern is this is further deepening her unhealthy attachment to individuals outside her own species.

* Patient again missed her appointment.

* I have been unable to make contact with the patient for almost a year. Then this morning there was a front page story in a special edition of Kingdom Gazette:

The Resurrection of a Princess

Dateline: Road from the western forest

We learned today of a remarkable ending to the story of a Princess no-one even knew was missing. An unidentified Princess was found deep in the forest by a group of men on horseback.

How this Princess came to be "lost" Whether she voluntarily left her home, fled or ran away is still unconfirmed at this time. However what we do know is remarkable enough. She has been residing deep within the Western Hunting Forest at the home of seven dwarfs. We have been able to confirm through a confidential informant that the dwarfs are the owners of Stinken Riche, Inc. The largest producer and wholesaler of gems in the Northern Hemisphere. The partners have a reported combined net worth of more than $35 billion and have served by appointment to the royal household for more than 400 years.

While living in the dwarfs modest cottage the Princess was approached by a peddler who offered her a basket of apples. However upon tasting one of the fruit the Princess fell lifeless to the ground where her benefactors discovered her that evening. Doc, a spokesman for the group, told us that they were so upset by this event, and out of their deep affection for the Princess they constructed a special coffin of crystal at which they took turns keeping vigil. Locals in the area had been noting for some time an odd parade of forest creatures making regular trips to raid their gardens for flowers, but the initial reports had been dismissed as a result of too much indulgence in hard cider.

When questioned about the logistical and sanity considerations of preserving a dead body for that long without noticeable decay Doc told us of a new device the company was soon to file patents on that would chill flesh for extended periods of time to delay deterioration. They are calling the process "refrigeration" and say the toughest challenge still ahead is working out how to supply the needed power source to homes - something called "electricity". The complete story of this appears on page 12.

Sometime last week Prince Noname from Kingdom Un-nohn was passing through the forest and came upon this shrine to the young Princess. Here the stories conflict as to what happened next. Some claim the Prince, so moved by her beauty and the tragedy of her death, kissed her gently upon the lips at which point she woke up. Other sources say that the Prince commandeered the device she was laying in and had his men load it onto a wagon to take to his castle for further study. During that journey a large rut in the road jostled the coffin so violently that the piece of the apple which had lodged in the girl's throat was dislodged and she gasped and began breathing again. (Editors note: We find the second scenario much more plausible .... and hygienic)

Learning of the girl's Royal Blood the Prince took her back to his castle before trying to discover who her family is - whether for a ransom or a dowry no one will confirm.

As of this writing a Royal Wedding is scheduled for this summer.

* Patient has contacted me to say she will be taking a "break" from our sessions for a while as she needs to re-acclimate to normal (at least for her) life and concentrate on the wedding arraignments.

* There was another startling article in this morning's Gazette.

Dancing with the Devil

Dateline: Kingdom Un-Nohn

In yet another bizarre twist to the story we reported earlier this year about the "found" Princess there was a gruesome incident at the Royal Wedding Reception yesterday.

As our King and Queen arrived it was clear to onlookers that Her Majesty was rather agitated. An inside source has told us that it appears her ill humor arose from something she heard from her "magic mirror" regarding her step-daughter, the Princess Snow White.

Sources tell us that the Princess disappeared from the palace more than three years ago, however the public was never told. A spokesman for the King said they were told by the Queen that the Princess had gone to a finishing school for young royalty several hundred miles away.

Around the same time her long-time Nanny also left the employ of the King to retire and live with her family across the sea. We have been unable to locate Ms. Wharm Huggs to confirm this.

What we have been able to confirm though is disturbing. The Queen has been engaged for years in various kinds of Dark Magic and has been found to have several "familiars" within the palace which report back to her daily. Unsealed records show that our King is her fifth husband with the former spouses dieing of "unknown causes". It is believed her use of a spell may account for why the King never expressed concern or curiosity about his daughter.

It now seems likely that Princess Snow White fled out of concern for her safety after learning of the Queen's evil ways. Whatever the reasons the events today will not be forgotten soon by any in attendance. For upon entering the Reception Hall and seeing the face of the "new queen" whose wedding she was attending the Queen froze in her tracks. She then began to rant about how her mirror had told her "You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But the young queen is a thousand times fairer than you."

Everyone present were taken aback when the King then moved to the bride with tears in his eyes to embrace her. The Princess has steadfastly refused to answer any questions as to her origins so her relationship to our Beloved King was a complete surprise.

Witnesses report the King shook his head in an odd manner as if trying to shake off the effects of a long sleep - then turned and had his guards detain the Queen, who at this point was shaking with rage and dread at this public unveiling of her treachery.

As punishment for her wicked ways, a pair of heated iron shoes were brought forth with tongs and placed before the Queen. She was then forced to step into the iron shoes and dance until she fell down dead.

Afterward the Bride, Groom and King left the Hall for approximately an hour before returning to a puzzled group of guests and a Hall devoid of any traces of the execution that had occurred, to continue their Wedding Feast.

We cannot help but wonder what long term effects this incident will have not only on the individuals directly involved - but on inter-kingdom relations as well.

* Met with patient for the last time. She has adjusted well to life as a wife and mother, and while she still retains a bit of naivete regarding people's motivations it is tempered with a better sense of caution.

There was a rough patch in her marriage early on where she was frustrated and angry with the Prince over his not living up to her romanticized expectations of him, and his aggressively eager-for-grandchildren mother. However with work and perseverance she has been able to establish some boundaries to keep all the parents out of the relationship between husband and wife.

She also has come to understand that the Prince's idiosyncrasies are just a part of being human. That not picking up after himself, snoring, spending too much time with his friends does not mean he loves her less and that she needs to choose her battles.

Having felt too narrowly defined as a wife and mother she is finding a lot of satisfaction in getting a new foundation off the ground. Funded by her friends the dwarfs, with whom she still maintains a close friendship, the foundation will be geared to empowering women to stand up for themselves. They have a prototype name of STFU.

Overall patient seems to have a measure of contentment and happiness in her life. And an understanding that life is not a fairy tale or something that just happens to you, but it is something you need to work on every day in order to get what you need and want out of it.
