Am I Competent? Probably Not.

So, this week I have my annual competency fair!  Which means I go to work for two hours to get asked a bunch of questions about old people and nursing homes and the likes.  I know, sounds exhilarating right?  This is in fact, a new development at the nursing home...probably been around for a few years, unlike our residents. (BAZING!)

However, my plans on passing this so called "test" are looking smaller and smaller.  Primarily because I A.) lack the motivation to try to study it even though we get paid for the two hours that we do study and B.) because I am having trouble remembering my grammar and junk.  Sure, grammar and junk both have nothing to do with this test, but I feel in order to be competent, I need to be well-rounded.

One of my friends (read her blog here http://www.emilyfrancko.blogspot.com/) (SHAMELESS PLUGS) has been chatting with me regularly on the Facebook.  I don't know if it's because I type faster than I think or if it's because I haven't taken an English class since senior year of high school, but I have been EFFING UP MY GRAMMAR LIKE A BOSS (metaphor?)  Examples:

• Your instead of You're
• Their instead of There instead of They're
• Right instead of Write
• Left instead of Right
• Beluga Whale instead of Narwhal
• Waka Waka instead of Eh Eh
• Economics instead of Accounting
• Accounting instead of Polish
• Polish instead of English

So you see?  My life is in shambles all because of my grammar.  And it's all the English Language's Fault.  Polish is so much easier.  No articles.  No confusion about possession.  No anything else that makes English hard.

I got a wee bit carried away here.  I'll wind this up with "I think I want to purposely fail the competency fair just to be called incompetent."

You'res Truly,
Brian
