No wonder I've run out of money. I balk at tests. Just a few years ago, I was offered a sweet fine job and I (tentatively) accepted, and then the HR dude phoned me about the 'routine' drug test. I could have passed, easy. But I told him I don't do drug tests. End of discussion. Which is one reason I am a virtual pauper today. Fuck. No wonder I’ve run out of money. I balk at tests.

So i think all that will happen is that I will never get a job through them again which I dont think i would want to. its a producer job, at Scholastic, but it’s freelance so I had to go through Adecco, who are the ones that made me take this test.

I think the key to passing it was in an article I had read prior to sitting down. It advised answering all the questions as if your employer were your parents. Your employer wants to feel like they are the benevolent guidance that a paternal relationship is supposed to be. So, a little minor cheating is okay, but big stuff like resentment and letting problems fester isn't. I do believe I passed with flying colors. I can also alphabetize and add without a calculator. Note to employers: I'm available! I had to take a similar test last year. I think the key to passing it was in an article I had read prior to sitting down.

I had a run in with a man friend of a neighbour years back. He insisted on using our drive to park his car. Until the night I wedged a 6" nail under each wheel . . . . . oddly I never saw his car again. Amy, you seem my type of gal! I had a run in with a man friend of a neighbour years back.
