guffaw, guffaw

this is my answer (maximum of 2000 characters) to the compulsory question - "What types of people do you get along with and why." [sic] - in my job application (proofreader, Manpower Outsourcing Services, Inc.* - apparently, the asterisk is part of the company's name. and I know what you're thinking, it is the gayest company name ever.)

"I believe that I get along with most types of people (The term "most" is used loosely. Rest assured, those who end their questions with periods - "What types of people do you get along with and why." - would still fall under that category of "people whom I get along with." Why not.). Given a certain situation, working with a group, for example, regardless of the recalcitrant nature of a group member or two, I would still have managed to foster an atmosphere conducive to the completion of the task at hand. I'd have gotten the job done. But, if this question were asked to determine my character in terms of the people I associate myself with (birds of the same feather...), then I would have to say that I get along with people who have a great sense of humor. I consider myself to be in possession of a good sense of humor, so, in order for one to be in my good graces, one must be funnier than I am. My definition of funny will lead to an understanding of the type or types of people I enjoy the company of. Funny, to me, has to do with being witty. One must be quick and sharp to understand my quips; and to counter/reply with one's own. Funny is not only suggestive of intellectual prowess, but also of the person's general attitude or outlook in life. The humor I usually enjoy is of the self-deprecating kind; and for one to pull this off must mean that the person is sensible enough to make fun of himself. Also, that the person is honest and mature enough to admit his faults, and clever enough to translate these admissions of inadequacy to jokes or witticisms. Those whom I get along with share these traits (they are all funny = smart, honest, mature, cool), and I am in good terms with them because they bring out the "funny" guy in me. And that's always a good thing. Isn't it. (Please laugh.)" (qtd. in jobstreet.com)

stop reading if you're not funny. it means that we wouldn't get along with each other. i'll call you "recalcitrant" if you persist. i'll call the doctor if you persist.

O, me nangulit na. Happy ka na? ;p

one objection. "mature"? eurgh. meron ba talaga n'un? in years of dealing with people i believe we're all "six degrees of immaturity" lang talaga. nya-ha.

ang mature na tao based on the common definition would take one look at the rest of us and call for a nuclear strike. hehe

Recalcitrant: word for the day. Note to self: look it up. "If symptoms persist please consult a doctor." - so if the reader does persist, then you won't call a doctor and he/she is honored with a sense of humor?

to anonymous (please sign your name or a pseudonym so i know that i'm addressing an actual being. thanks.) -

"so if the reader does persist, then you won't call a doctor and he/she is honored with a sense of humor?"

hmmm (pondering), i never really thought about it. i just thought it was a witty turn of phrase (even gave myself a pat on the back for that. would've kissed my ass if i could.). if i understand myself correctly, if the reader persists (assuming that he's guilty of not being funny and is aware of this fact), then that means he's being stubborn (or recalcitrant). i consider incorrigibility a disease, therefore, calling a doctor would be the next logical step. a reader who considers himself funny does not "persist" when he continues to read my blog entry. he simply ignores the comment. a warning: reading my blog or persisting to read my blog will not make the unfunny funny (funny how that phrase turned out). drive one crazy, maybe.

ignore this comment if that question was rhetorical (obviously). i will call you batman, for the time being. i will continue to do so until you identify yourself. so, thanks for asking that question, batman. love the belt. the cape, not so much.
