Especially future employers.
- I have the sleep needs of a 5-year-old. 9 hours in the night at least, with some quiet/dozing time in the afternoon on occasion.
- I’m not a morning person. I’m damn serious about that.
- I eat slowly and a lot. I’m not overweight at all but I need to eat. A lot. And regularly. 4 or 5 times a day. It takes 5 minutes to shower in the morning but it takes 20 to finish breakfast.
- It’s better for everyone if I pick my clothes the night before. Seriously, it’s better.
- Leave me alone. I work best on my own. I can be very extroverted and sociable and “an efficient team worker”, I can work in a crazy hype for an extended period of time, but I need alone time for immersion and recovery.
- I’m not lonely. I know it’s hard to believe I’m fine on my own, but my social needs are not exaggerated.
- I enjoy commute. I like traveling to and fro, reading on my iPod, listening to music, grabbing a free newspaper, watching people… I do a lot of my thinking on the subway.
- I like frequent travels. Not enthusiastic about long flights though.
- I enjoy cooking and cleaning and doing the dishes as a way of winding down after intellectual work.
- I enjoy meticulous and repetitive work that others have been putting off for months. (Eh, meghanagain.)
- I NEED to have something creative in my job, on the other hand. At least I need to be part of the support team for something creative like a book.
- I drink an improbable amount of water.
- I reread emails about 5 (ok, make that 10) times before sending off. I have literary inclinations and am fastidious about expressing myself elegantly.
- No coffee.
