Dear Overlord + Team Super Awesome:
On this, the 23rd day of June, 2014, I hereby submit the requested list of my lamentable skills to you and yours for consideration for member status in T$A. Firstly, let it be known that I am a novice cyclist. Actually, I have little to no knowledge of the sport of cycling – but i did just buy an R1000 Cannondale road bike – so, um, like, does that count for anything? Also: although, this might seem like a stupid, idiotic and far-fetched notion, I thought T$A would be the ideal entry point for me, the trouble with lisa, in which to immerse myself in the wonderful world of cycling. I mean, why not just start at the bottom, you know? (And by bottom, I mean a team of super-skilled weirdos)
Since I am a newbie and since I understand this particular value proposition may be not that great for T$A (as it is my assumption you most likely prefer more knowledgeable, advanced members), I propose you review my limited, paltry, pathetic, list ‘o skills and perhaps consider me (if after your conscientious review you deem me worthy to go on to the next phase), as an apprentice member of your most elite squad; a serf, a peasant, someone to facilitate the needs of the other uber elite members. Said apprenticeship would last until either of two things happen: 1) I decide that cycling is not for me, or 2) you decide that cycling is not for me. Really, this could be a win/win situation for both parties as I am quite affable and take almost nothing (excepting oral hygiene) seriously. And so, all this being said and true, I abjectly give to you my skill set (in no particular order):
1) Moderately hard worker/somewhat trainable. (hard skill)
2) Appropriate usage of my sardonic sense of humor – often handy in stressful, shitty situations. (soft skill)
3) Not bad w/ a twitter account or writing (I hold a degree in public relations, I think). (hard skill)
4) Not too much of a jank. (is this a skill?)
5) Motivated + magical. (soft skill)
And there you have it. Thank you kindly for your careful consideration. I look very forward to hearing back from you.
Best regards blah blah blah,
lisa
PS: Or can I just have a shirt
