Are you honest with your fellow man?

That's one of the questions you have to be able to answer "yes" to to get into Mormon heaven.

Honesty is one of my best virtues. First of all, my memory is so spotty that I can't keep up with more than one version of the stories I tell. Secondly, I have a difficult time knowing when someone is lying to me. And when I DO know that they're lying to me, I don't know how to respond. So for me, living in a world where everyone was honest, including me, sounds GREAT.

I had a job interview yesterday. I should have realized that you're never supposed to say anything negative in an interview, but when he asked "And how did you like Big Evil Corporation?" (note, names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

I can't recall exactly what I said, but apparently my loathing for Big Evil Corporation is so intense that it can be felt by non-empaths at least 4 feet away. I THINK I said something like "I learned that I'm not really best suited for large companies, it was a challenging time for me." Apparently what he heard was "bitch moan bitch moan Big Evil Corporation is HELL!" which are my actual feelings about the topic.

It looked bad, but I have a follow-up interview tomorrow morning, so I guess my other qualifications were good enough.

So. What do you say to someone who doesn't want to hear the truth?

"I am a politician"?
