Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

~Alfred Adler

Let's Just Get to the Point, Shall We?

I have an interview tonight (right in the middle of Thursday TV night, the nerve of these people). The interview is called something with three letters (the military is 'fond' of acronyms) which I have no idea what they mean.

Basically, it's so someone who doesn't know me can decide whether or not the army will allow me to change my trade.

In preparation I need to fill out a self-assessment form which wants to know how willing I am to embrace change, do things I don't like which provide no personal gain, persevere at tasks and how well I function in extreme and continuous adverse mental and physical conditions.

They want examples.

I have decided that I have one answer that adequately and eloquently covers everything they want to know.

I completed basic training being unable to move my hands for six weeks, with a femoral stress fracture for the last three, without complaining, surrounded 24/7 by a 100 people (none of whom have been alive for even 3/4 of the time I've been a smoker) and I never actually physically attacked anyone once.
So, really, let me do what I want, hey?
