Lefecious

Skills/knowledge:

Call center manager - 5 years experience managing in an office environment, so if anyone has any questions on gossipy cubicle-heads then ask me. Also if you have questions about how a boss really has disciplinary discussions with employees then I'm your man. I've also fired a bunch of people so I know how that's done in the real world.

Job Interviews - I've interviewed over 500 people in the past couple years, so I know a great deal on how job interviews are conducted, how people are selected, what questions are asked, and what questions are illegal to ask.

Martial Arts, but especially Mixed Martial Arts competition like the Ultimate Fighting Championship. - I am an expert on the UFC and the history of the sport of MMA in general.

Ummm... skills? Asking a bit much from me, tbh :wink:

I'm more of a 'life experience' kinda girl - despite my age, I've got enough experience for about three lifetimes by now.
I've got a lot of experience with mental health problems and how the NHS system mistre... sorry, treats psychiatric patients, I've had two children (my first at 18, so I got teen pregnancy in there too!) and have had to go through a custody battle for my eldest (and lost). There's a load more stuff, but I don't know how helpful it'd be...
I've got family to exploit too! :D My brother's a pharmacist, so I can get info on medicines, dosages, etc. from him, my dad was in the army as a medic in the Falklands war, and was on the Sir Galahad when it was bombed, and my mum's Chinese Malay, so I have a wealth of knowledge on Chinese folklore, customs & language at my disposal too.
I'm big on Celtic mythology, and how it has been assimilated into other folklore, and I spent about a year as a Falconer, so I know quite a bit about various birds of prey too...

Not much else I'm good for, other than moral support :wink:

Isn't Tagalog very similar to Malay?

Yes. Even some of the words for certain items are the same.

Finally got round to updating the first post, only took me 6 months or so.

Leceferous... ever concidered writing an MMA movie? I know it'd be a pain without turning it into a Rocky-esque picture, but it could be cool.

WendyAleina
Special Skill thats introduced by this post: Doing artworks. Wallpapers/Banners/Icons. I ace at that shit.
Contact info: If you send me a PM you can have my e-mail-adress to figure out with what kind of special graphic I can help out with.

I was doing a wallpaper out of fun for myself (concentrating on a musician I dig at the moment) a few days ago and realized that its incredible and wasnt a problem at all to do for me. I used to make wallpapers or icons for friends, too - so, let me know if this skill is needed.
<b>-'°~We'll carry on. And though you're dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on.~°'-</b>
My publications can be purchased <a href="http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fStoreID=1542030"> here</a>. They're in german.
