(no subject)

I am about to go spend my Saturday writing 3 tests, about 2 hours each, in the hopes of scoring a non-clerical job. Because in all honesty, while I gain a great deal of satisfaction from work (which is a bonus for me), I'd rather sit at home on disability for the rest of my life if my current job is a sign of things to come. 

Hell, I got excited and genuinely pleased when someone in a different department gave me defective financial invoices to process. It meant I could use my brain for something other than "Hmm, I wonder if I can get 6 pieces of paper in the shredder at a time?"

I hope they find me stuff to consistently challenge me...soon

Look at the institutionalized sexism alive and well...

I have finished writing 2 out of three tests; Graduate Recruitment and Situational Judgement. 

I think I did alright on both so far, but I do have to say the Situational Judgement test is remarkably sexist. Given, most of this is because the work environment is going to be sexist whether we admit it openly or not, the problem is that the "most effective" answer changes remarkably if you are a woman or if you are a man, and since the test itself is gender blind, there is no way to account for the gender socialization discrepancy that will inevitably occur as a result of the answers. The question then is, am I going to be penalized, or have the advantage for being a woman in this case.

I have to go sign in for the last test of the day, but I'll give some examples later.


Written expression here I come.
