Today is the Careers Development programme Careers Fair. It looks like fun. I might even go. I was handed a printout on campus explaining the do's and don'ts of approaching recruiters. It has a handy little section titled "How to introduce yourself". It goes a little something like this.
"Start by introducing yourself: 'My name is {smiley face}. I'm a {hourglass} year student in the faculty of {flag} majoring in {pen}."
If any of these university students payed attention in primary school, they will know exactly how to read the wingding story. (You know, replace the picture of the bee with the word BE). Now, working on the assumption that these UCT students are the cream of the crop and that we all know how to decode these little pictures, I wonder how many recruiters are sitting around wondering why there are so many people on this campus called smiley face.
In the process of researching this topic, I googled smiley face. I found one of those scary sites. You know the kind. It's the "gasp, oh my goodness" kind of sites. How are they allowed to put these things up here. Take a look, and make sure you're seated: http://www.wghs.co.za/about.asp
Hows that for a smiley face? Hectic, bru.
Here's another smiley face, picture taken last year. This is how I look on the Cape Town VWS incident command board. Those fires therefore have a good idea as to what's heading their way if they get out of control.
Bye
(And if anyone has any weaknesses for my sister to borrow, or if they can tell her what her weaknesses are, she'd greatly appreciate them. She thinks she's perfect, you know.)

so you sent me on a trip down memory lane. Okay so that photo is very scary but the whole webpage is terribly ornate and girly, a bit ott. Found their 'contact an old girl' thing was a bit strange, like a time warp.
And by the way I am perfect!
