How the HELL do you write your own reference letter without sounding like an egoistical idiot, OR a meek measly little mouse?? Bah. Is there like a good template or format out there for this?? I've written about 5 lines and stopped cos I started feeling really really stupid. Maybe I should go take a nap and sleep off the 8.99 Indian lunch buffet

Aa, sou ka na...

I suppose one could do it in two stages - in the first draft, remember that there is no praise too self-aggrandizing, no achievement too trivial to be mentioned.

And then give it a day's rest and come back to give it a sort of polished humililty? :D

But I am not qualified to advise, since I have never done such things the right way (if there is one). One recalls a pep talk in a fast food joint some months ago... *cue flashback*.

Good luck on it, though!

P.S.

I am trying to do the two stage thing actually .. but it still feels stupid! And I wanted to do the door thing but it doesn't seem all that stable .. and there really isn't enough wall space for that either .. oh well, I guess it'll have to be a shoe hell pit still for now :)

[fmjs]

Well, you will manage to do it, somehow, I am sure :D

Yeah, the one thing with hanging anything on doors is that if it's too heavy, it will warp your hinges ---> squeaking or worse.

Shoe hell pits have their own charm :)

I do agree that writing self-assessments are the hardest things on earth! think fmjs' way does sound correct!

solution for shoes: get rid of 'em =)

[jaa6]
