How Many Fiction Novels Have You Read This Year?

I've been a housewife for three years now. I talk to my family daily, my friends a fair amount, so I am not a social as I used to be. I don't watch a lot of television. No more than I did when I worked. Most of the reading I do involves magazines and cookbooks. I have been working on Let the Right One In, so when the question popped up on the pre-employment personality test I took today, I was surprised. I haven't finished it, but I answered 1. I know that's not the deal breaker (I've been informed that I'm not competitive), but none of the test made sense to me. I thought the whole damn thing was stupid, since I worked for the company for 9 years. Maybe my disdain for the whole situation came across in my test. It began with reading comprehension. I admittedly flubbed that part up. I'd never seen a test like it. Even when I went to insurance school so I could work for an agency. Their tests made sense. The scenarios were job related. What does security badges and agent commissions have to do with the job I was applying for? Not a thing. I'm sure am glad they have a test that will keep me from being hired by a company that hasn't a clue. And that will be the only dig I take at them. Now back to my own degradation, as I suspected, I've lost my skills and my personality sux, too. They put it nicely, and in a way that confused me as much as their test, explaining that my performance was not competitive. Probably, true. I have never been turned down for a job. Ouch! Everyone expected that I would be going back to work soon. They are surprised. I stopped by my sister's office after botching the test. I told everyone I did, before I even got the dreaded email. I met all her co-workers and they told me how much they loved her. Of course they do, everyone loves my Robbie :) As I arrived home with my tail between my legs, she sent me a message telling me how all her co-workers said I was sweet and pretty. She knew just what I needed. She can't help me shake off that I felt ignorant, like uneducated stupid, for the first time in my whole life today, but she knows that if you're going to be dumb, then you better be pretty, lol! Guess, I'll never get that good personality thing down.
