Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I need to share that apostrophe guide widely.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Right ....Like anyone goes into a job interview say I never work hard. Of course, hardworking might mean we are going to overwork you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Of course, hardworking might mean we are going to overwork you.

I kind of assume it does. And that "self-starting" means "we won't give you all the information you need to do your job".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"self-starting" means "we won't give you all the information you need to do your job"

but the instant we think you aren't doing what we haven't told you to do or how to do what we haven't told you to do, you will be in SO MUCH TROUBLE for not just not knowing how to do what we didn't tell you how to do but not figuring out it needed to be done yesterday when we weren't even open anyway!!

That sounds about right. I am currently interpreting "entrepreneurial" to mean "you will have no support, but we will expect miracles."

Either that or "we are a thinly disguised pyramid scheme".

Ah yes. That's a different kind of ad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or, did we mention it was commission-only?

That's probably more what I mean with financial services gigs. Feels pyramid schemy to me, though.
