'Core competencies' poll

I got this from some article whose name I forgot. I was wondering 'core competencies' were, really. So, I asked the search engine, and this was one of the answers.

I made a whole series of questions from that article. If I can find it, I can post it as a poll. I may make a poll asking if any of these 'core competencies' play any role in your job. Not just paying full-time gigs, but part-time, volunteering, and any long-term projects involving other people. Like say, marriages, house ownership, or parenting :).

It is also normal to feel that I fit almost none of these standards, right?

My tweets

• Tue, 14:02: Every word is a package that few people bother opening. Perhaps because at first, there are only more words. Then images, sounds, senses
• Tue, 14:23: Even when trying to get down to the base, I still have to use words so others understand me. For example, this morning
• Tue, 14:26: I focused on finding out more of a game backstory, digging even if nothing is planted. I thought of time it would take to 'publish' notes
• Tue, 14:29: Open, cut and paste, publish, done, right? Ah, but what if it is one wall of text? I need to break it up, add some clarification.
• Tue, 14:32: Links need more text, so people don't think I am tricking them. Tags so I can organize them later. Or do I organize them in a seperate doc?
• Tue, 14:35: Advice bounces. People will find out dirt about you, but you must have a good front. The only guarantee of someone reading is quality
• Tue, 14:36: Millions of people think what they say is important, but get tuned out. If I'm one of them, why say anything?
• Tue, 14:40: Maybe people have online lives they hide from clients & bosses. Yet, we are to build an 'online brand'. Something to show off when fired
• Tue, 14:44: If I strive for balance and wholeness, the split in how I communicate & play can't stay. Yet, it's expected, until the day I'm found out
• Tue, 14:50: It includes past writings. My friends joke about them, but I'm afraid that is only sort to get attention. Website, for 1, needs revising

To do for website

I will need to remove "From Jesus with Love" since I am out of touch with collaborator and haven't done anything new.

"A Little Death"? Well, I have no idea if I want to continue with that. I haven't touched it in years, I lost interest, and I feel bad that I did not want to incorporate the changes the illustrator said were necessary. I like to think I am adaptable, so I feel bad about it. At the same time, it is not just my work.

Birch Circle is still stalled, but in my head.

Then there is the 'self for employers/clients' and 'self for friends' split. I do not want to make anyone a target for lawsuits or make them feel uncomfortable. Some of what I did and what I link to is NSFW, and others are just not 'serious' enough for business. Yet, I did put effort and time in them, and can I say it, I am proud. I am proud of my original fiction as I am about the crackfic, and as proud of my fiction as well as my classes in natural language processing.

Oh, and add classwork from the natural language processing course. Not sure about the programs, though. They just don't run, and I have no idea if it will do terrible things to computer systems if they do run. Not because I put logic bombs deliberately, but because of Murphy's Law.

I also have a rant on why Murphy's Law is why the humanities are valuable for scientists, programmers and engineers to learn. Mathematicians are exempt, since their field is that ancient. :)
