Sounds like your yen and yang is out of balance.

Apparently he is the author of the funniest joke of all time:
Two hunters are out in the woods in New Jersey when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps 'My friend is dead! What can I do?' The operator says: 'Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says 'OK, now what?'

He's the author of thousands of the funniest jokes of forever.
I had the chance to meet him, many years ago, on a trip to Oz, but other priorities (which were really nowhere near as important to me) took precedence.
He died, soon after, so that chance could never be repeated. I could have had a private meeting with a true genius, but passed on it.
Talk about "Regrets, I've had a few".

Just got off the phone with the DVLA, allegedly I should get the form today/tomorrow but the 5-10 days is just in case the post is playing up...
... then they ask me ...
... "Have you filled in this other form? No? Don't worry I'll send you one."
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I really, really, really feel sad for you. Have some chocolate.

At this point one has to wonder how close is the DVLA office and do they have a metal detector at the door?

Ask for the form that documents the fact that you don't like to fill out forms...

Nagy, please reconsider; you are far too young to opt for euthanasia; please tear-up that Death Voluntary License Agreement, now. You are loved, and valued, by so many here. Your oscillations between the antipodes of the bell-curve of the sobriety-drunk continuum provide a valuable benchmark for those of us stumbling around the mean, the median, and the mode.
You can call me and talk this over if you wish; please have your credit-card information ready. Be assured you are not alone in feeling this way.
cheers, Bill

I just wonder: is there any job post out there in the multiverse that actually omits the bizarre requirement of "being able to work in a fast-paced environment"? Is that really and honestly regarded as a good thing? Also, is the widespread abuse of empty catchy phrases like this one that make them lose their meaning, or is it that they never had one to start with?

Some environments are more fast paced that others; some require the ability to be able to react quickly. Case in point: I was up in the middle of the night with allergies - sneezing and what not. As I didn't want to disturb my wife, I went to the living room.
My cell phone received a text message: a high priority ticket had been logged from work for a system - no data was being shown. Normally, tickets are medium priority unless manually elevated. So, I looked at the ticket, opened my laptop and fixed the issue.
I wasn't the team member on call, but I saw the issue and decided to react. As a team, if the issue is not resolved in a timely manner, we all get hit with a performance failure.
So.. this was 'fast paced', but, generally, it's an easy going environment.
Having said that, if you are looking, what field/general area and what region?
