What's Your Ideal Career?

Your Career Type: Artistic

You are expressive, original, and independent.

Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.

You would make an excellent:

Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor
Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer
Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer
Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor

The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary. 



Sounds great, but I have absolutely no musical or artistic talents.  Dancer?  Sure, when they need one that has two left feet.  DJ?  I really don't like constantly loud music.  Clothes designer?  Maybe for Walmart or a thrift store Actor?  Nah, I'm not progressive enough for Hollywood.

They did get it right on bank teller or secretary, although I'd rather be the latter than the former. All that money would be too much temptation and when I worked jobs at the register I seldom had it balance out at the end of the day.  I can type like a big dog , but that would get boring doing it all day and I'd probably tell my boss to stuff it after he...or she...sent me out for a tall, non-fat latte with caramel drizzle and then chewed me out because I forgot to specify it to be 120 degrees just like he/she always has them.

All the Live-Long Day

Rail and tie-replacing machine.  Fascinating.

You Don't Know Me, Do You?

Got this rather ironic spam in the junk file folder just now:


Like I said, they don't know me.  I don't think I'm a douche, but I'm definitely a time-waster.  In fact, it's probably one of the things I do best.

This calls for a song, my life story:

Trivia That Melts in Your Head

What does M&M stand for?  From Wiki:

Forrest Mars, Sr., son of the founder of the Mars Company Frank C. Mars, copied the idea for the candy in the 1930s during the Spanish Civil War when he saw soldiers eating chocolate pellets called Smarties, with a hard shell of tempered chocolate surrounding the inside, preventing the candies from melting. The two "Ms" represent the names of Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R. Murrie, who had a 20 percent share in the product.
