I Have Become Utterly Unhireable

2006 is the year I become get out of this hole; either by hard work, or from atop a bell tower with a 50-caliber rifle. Over the past seven years (and more-so over the last two) the company I work in has allowed me to completely shut my brain off. When I go on interviews, I wind up sounding like an over-eager Future Business Leaders of America moron who hasn't been in an actual business conversation in his lifetime. I am reaping the rewards of a tapestry sewn of sloth. Apparently, being 'the most cynical bastard in the universe' has left me at an arms length from everyone who has left the company onto greener pastures. Instead of reading "Bringing comedy and Laughter into the Workplace," I should have instead gone with, "Corporate Ass-Kissery for the Talentless Hack." While it would have made me less approachable, it would have made me infinitely more promotable. I have no plans of riding this wake of a company out to its conclusion. While I am here, I am now working to educate myself as much as possible so that when my next round of interviews pops up, I sound more like a laureate than Stan Laurel. >sigh< That rifle is looking more and more like a reasonable offer...
