Psych

When I really want something, I have this tendency to psych myself out. When I'm on an interview I sit up straight, fold my hands in my lap, and smile... but not so big as to expose my Uvula or give myself a double chin. I am composed and professional and downright boring. If I was interviewing people, I would go ahead and choose the person I would want to hang out with, since we will be working together and I wouldn't want to work with a boring prude. I know there is a level of professionalism required for things like that, but I also think there is a balance of showing myself--you know, that girl who laughs louder than anyone else (and shows the uvula), the one who stands up in the middle of the day and stretches like a cat, sings two bars of whatever is stuck in her head, and sits back down like nothing happened. Since there is a writing job I am after, I have to write the samples. It's not something that's hard for me; in fact, they even suggest that my writing sounds a bit "snarky" (um, yes please). However, since I have been sitting here searching my brain for the creativity it is hiding, I figured I might as well blog to get the creative juices flowing. If I get the freelance job, awesome. If not, I have a job that I love and will continue to work at one way or the other.
