4. I just got volunteered for a job that is over my head, but
I won't get paid for it. Let's trade attitudes. I wanna be a sound recording engineer and for some reason I have been sent under the robots and conveyer belts to trace wires and stuff. I haven't a clue what I am doing. I didn't sign up for the class the teacher seems to think I am working on in that project. I'm totally confused. I need your gung-ho "I can do it" spirit for this project.

5. I'm insane. That works for me.

Case in point: I'm on the treadmill this afternoon with my headphones on (big huge ones) singing along out loud to American Idiot and getting some strange looks. Mr. Gray moved to another treadmill so he would not be associated with me.

So, when these people call and query me as to my lack of skills for particular duties, I'll just say "how hard can it be, you're doing it. Ahahahahahahahahahha". And they'll hire me or have me committed.

I guess you can just keep showing up til everything falls into place in your head or til they ask you to leave. Make it look like it's their fault, hahahahaha.
