under the light of a full moon i transform into a creature that has the ability and means to accomplish tasks, im a werewithal

I think one important lesson I’m taking from having feeder in my yard is that Disney Princesses deal with a lot more bird shit that we have been led to believe.

Bilingual packaging is great because it's easy to ignore the English "cheeze" and focus on the much better French "fauxmage."

So go into this knowing that as soon as a job description is published, it is no longer accurate.

So the question isn't, am I qualified for this role or not. The questions is, do I want to join an ongoing conversation on a team that agreed to this description of this role, and what do I bring to that conversation?

When you look at a job description, you're looking at the end result of a long and mostly hypothetical negotiation: that is, this is the description of the role of a person that will (we think) contribute to what this team is (we think) trying to accomplish, that was agreed to by the people above, below and next to the place in the project where that person will live. It's not the job, it's how people could agree to describe what they imagine the job will be.

"What's this pile of clothes?"

"Those are my friend's."

"And this Nine Inch Nails CD?"

"That's the 'Closer' CD I stole from my enemy."

"And why are they all together in your closet?"

"Well, you know what they say..."
