Cinnamon & raisin bagel with raspberry jam and a strawberry, blackberry & boysenberry smoothie.

It makes me very sad indeed that I live in a world in which people describe themselves (or their ideal candidates) as "motivated self-starters". What does this even mean? Are these people auto-spark plugs? Highly flammable? What?

And, as my good friend Miss Ramsay pointed out -- what are they motivated to do? I am motivated to eat chocolate; but this not really a selling point. Motivation tends also to be at stake in homicide investigations.

So, are we then a nation chock-full of homicidal spontaneous combustors?

Arg! Why is job hunting so full of jargon.
