People don't often mean what they say, especially during job interviews. Here are some phrases often exchanged between employers and employees - and what they really mean.


Employer Lingo:

  • "Competitive Salary" -We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.
  • "Join Our Fast-Paced Team" -We have no time to train you.
  • "Casual Work Atmosphere" -We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up.
  • "Must be Deadline Oriented" -You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day.
  • "Some Overtime Required" -Some time each night and some time each weekend.
  • "Duties Will Vary" -Anyone in the office can boss you around.
  • "Must Have an Eye For Detail" -We have no quality control.
  • "Career-Minded" -Female applicants must be childless and remain that way.
  • "Apply in Person" -If you're old, fat, or ugly, you'll be told the position has been filled.
  • "No Phone Calls Please" -We've filled the job. Our call for resumes is just a legal formality.
  • "Seeking Candidates With a Wide Variety of Experience" -You'll need it to replace the three people who just left.
  • "Requires Team Leadership Skills" You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
  • "Good Communication Skills" - Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want, and do it.

What is dementia? According to WIKIPEDIA

DEMENTIA
"apart, away" + mens (genitive mentis) "mind") is the progressive decline in cognitive function due to damage or disease in the body beyond what might be expected from normal aging.

This might help to test for DEMENTIA...
Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately.OK?

Let's find out just how clever you are...ready??go!!!




First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?



Answer:

If you answered that you are the first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place you are second!

Try not to screw up in the next question.
To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.




Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer:

If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?

You are not very good at this! are you?



Third Question:

Very Tricky math!
Note: This must be done in your head only! DO NOT use paper and pencil or calculator. Try it.


Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30.Add another 1000, Now add 20. Now add another 1000 now add 10.
What is the total?





Did you get
5000?






The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't Believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day.

Maybe you will get the last question.... right?

I got this topic from PINOY group of FRIENDSTER...and here's my answer for her ..

LOVING YOURSELF FIRSTblogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

When we feel hurt by what we think is "love", it is because we are looking to others to validate our own self worth. When we feel unworthy of love, it is difficult for others to love us the way we think we should be loved. And when we hang on to unsatisfying love just because we feel a desperate need to be loved, we leave ourselves open to heartbreak and disappointment. How can others make us feel loved when we don't love ourselves first?

The greatest act of love is to love ourselves first. It is in loving ourselves unconditionally that we set a standard for how we want to be loved by others. Do you love yourself enough to demand the love you deserve from friends and partners? Do you love yourself enough to receive the love you deserve?

Now, don't get me wrong here. I know this "loving yourself" thing presents a challenge for most of us. During our lives we have internalized many beliefs and patterns of self-sacrifice that discourage unconditional love from finding us.

I can attest to the power of these beliefs. Out of a fear of getting hurt, I used to see myself as the Stone Queen living in the Castle of Anti-Love. If anyone tried to love me, they had to swim across a moat filled with monsters (no drawbridge here), and then they had to bust through the portcullis while my guards poured boiling oil on them. Then, if they actually made it that far, my pursuer would then have to run down an alley filled with flying arrows to make it to the tower where they would find me, the Stone Queen, glaring at them with scorn. Their next challenge would then be figuring out how to bring the Stone Queen back to life. Have you ever locked yourself away from love like this? Many people do.

Needless to say, when people failed to enter my Anti-Love castle I saw that failure as proof, once again, that I was fundamentally unlovable. I wonder sometimes how many people gave up trying to enter my castle. How many times did I turn away real love while I sat feeling so sorry for myself? Have you ever done this in your life? Is there ANYONE on this planet who hasn't done this at one time or another?
