you suck at charisma
i am the tragic heroine in my own Jane Eyre - Office Space mashup right now so parDONaMAY if i come off churlish and grumpy. but this article - 8 Keys to Instant Charisma - just popped up in my Google Reader and as i am nothing if not charismatic, vivacious and specfuckingtackular, it needs a response.
for victims of ADD, PMS or CNN, i'll summarise. the 8 keys are as follows:
- Mirroring
- Remembering Names
- Be Interested
- Allowing Others to Talk
- Intention
- Offer Help
- Smile
- Authenticity
- don't puke on the sidewalk outside the building and expect the office manager to clean it up before a client visits.
- don't strew your nasty marlboro light butts around the entranceway and expect the same.
- don't leave pubes on the seat of the crapper; don't piss on the floor; don't shit on the underside of the toilet seat; don't leave floaters. fuck sake, don't you notice these things as you're washing your hands??
- wash your hands.
- don't assume that a lack of planning on your part constitutes an emergency on mine.
- does it look like i want to chitchat next to the fridge? i don't. move aside and let the man go through.
- don't be a cunt.
- know when it's Opposite Day. on Opposite Day nos 1-7 are sources of infinite amusement and joy. on Opposite Day one merry little bobber will entertain me and loucypher all afternoon. i felt like it was Opposite Day during the GOP debate on wed night when, in a response to janet hook, mitt romney spooled off a litany of objectionable things about john mccain. but it wasn't Opposite Day; romney's just a tard.

But it IS Friday. Although Friday seems to lose a lot of the love when you know you've got to spend Satdee morning looking at wedding dresses.
lessee -- churning out 4000yds of vomit-inducing intervals, or languishing in the space between organza and silk faille. yes, i agree you drew the short stick on sat morn.
it would be much worse with a hangover tho.
But much better if I was blind drunk during, I think we can agree.
agreed -- tomorrow may leave scars upon the fatcat's soul, but will provide good fodder for tales.
onward christian soldiers.
currently posting those next to my desk.
