Awesome

Disclaimer: I apologize to those who do not watch How I Met Your Mother..as some of this will make little sense.  In addition, if you do not watch HIMYM...you should :)

Do you ever wish life really was like a sitcom?  If so, what would your sitcom be?  I think that mine would be a conglomeration of a few…most likely depending on the day.  I would love the sarcastic humor found on Seinfeld and the comedic coworkers like Jim and Pam of the office yet today I ask the question because I am interviewing for jobs and the response I wish that I could have when describing myself comes from the oh so eloquent Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother.  This sitcom in particular would be legend…wait for it….airy to join as the friends featured are the right mixture of serious and sarcastic, they spend countless nights solving life’s problems over beer and the live in New York City.  I mean come on, it isn’t exactly a hard sell.  That is beside the point though.  Barney Stinson played by Neil Patrick Harris (who is particularly awesome anyway) once created a video resume complete with 3D graphics, archery, boat tricks and a whole lot of awesome.  As I submit my resume over and over again I can’t do it without thinking about a world where fire features really could get you a job and where my response of “I’m Allison…and I’m awesome” would be enough.  It seems so much more complete than simply stating education and professional experience, blah blah blah.  So today, as I submit boring resume after boring resume I leave you with the awesome-ness that is HIMYM.  It will make you want to show up at MacLaren’s and ask them to let you join the group.  Allison Mosby…it has a nice ring right
