Addiction

I've got a serious problem here. An addiction. I'm hooked on water. Plain tap water. I just can't seem to stop drinking. Whenever i'm bored, i'll start drinking. Drink and drink. Seems to get thirsty all the time. Throat very dry. This has been going on for a couple of months. I need help.

2 more days where i'll get to the frontline and fight my a** out. Mixed feelings.

10 worst job-interview gaffes

Interview Gaffe #10
"Desperation"

Dolly Lau, a finance director at a Singapore-based multinational corporation, had a trying experience with a candidate who sent weekly emails enquiring about his application. What started as politely-worded messages turned abusive when he found out he'd been passed over for the job. "Luckily, I didn't hire him," Lau said. "He was obviously wrong for the job."
Gerlinde Herrmann, founder of Toronto human resources consulting company The Herrmann Group, recalls one unsuccessful job applicant who contacted the hiring manager directly. "I really need this job," he pleaded. "Let me come in again." Such actions exude a whiff of desperation that doesn't bode well

Why is it a red flag: First of all, whether you need the job isn't the issue: Ask not what the company can do for you, ask what you can do for the company. Secondly, if you appear desperate for the job, the employer may conclude that you're not a top quality candidate and that you possibly will take any old job. He wants to believe you're specifically interested in the job he has to offer.
