From beyond all reason…
“But the desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it” Lawrence Sterne, 1713-1768**

No one’s mentioned the pretentiousness of having an epigram on a cover letter.

**

What better place to learn of the dynamics of life and organization than through a corporate culture comprised of various situations, persons, and challenges.**

As soon as I noted the absence of a question mark, I immediately started thinking of this as the welcome statement of one of those Weird Earl webpages. You know, the kind where a mentally ill person is trying to promote his Little Bang Theory [sub]Far Side[/sub]. By the time she’d gotten to “corporate culture”, she’d forgotten what idea she was trying to express and was thinking ahead to the next one; hence, no question mark.

rackensack’s theory, that she’s been too immersed in the buzzword culture and can’t communicate otherwise, is a good one. But I think that’s just what makes her this particular kind of nutjob.

Jonathan, be careful in the interview. Don’t say anything that she could interpret as promising the job, or establishing any kind of connection between the two of you. Well, I’m sure you’re experienced at conducting interviews. But be very much on your guard. Also, ask the receptionist how her demeanor is when she comes in and when she leaves.

I think you should put her in a room for a few days with Fenris’ new employee (My new employee, or Good Heavens: What have I DONE?), keep a hidden camera on them, and see what happens.

Will they mate, will they fight, will they chew on each other’s shins? You could make a killing selling the vid on prime time followed up with home distribution.

She sounds like my mom’s boss.

It scares my mom too.

Of course when you combine pretensiousness with an absence of proof reading you get me, so who am I to whine?

Everyone seems to have missed the most important question…

Is she HOT?

Here’s a dumb question: Isn’t all of LIFE comprised of various situations, persons, and challenges? How’s she made it this far without encountering any of those things? Or is she saying that she currently knows nothing about the dynamics of life and organization, having been sheltered from those things? Home schooling?
