Oh fine then. Everyone else is doing it. I might as well. I'm sure you're all dying to know this:

7 Things I Have Wanted to Be:

1. Artist
2. Astronaut
3. President
4. Dianne Fossey (before she was shot)
5. Olympic gymnast, figure skater, cyclist, rower (at different points in my life)
6. thin and pretty
7. smarter (normal brain, not Asperger's/face-blind)

7 Things I Have Actually Been

1. Professional cleaner of moldy test-tubes
2. Professional counter of boiled fish larvae
3. Professional rock-shoveller
4. Professional truck-driver
5. Licenced pesticide applicator
6. Substitute teacher
7. Director of Development and Marketing for a professional theatre company


quite the resume, no? And that's less than half my employment history. And I'm not even 30 yet!

Licensed pesticide applicator, eh? I trust that's better than the unlicensed, risky kind...

I think that most women feel a certain amount of sisterhood with Fossey..I mean who among you has not documented the habits of great big hairy bipedal beasts who sit around for 12 hours a day eating and passing gas (in between naps) all the while secretly planning a takeover of the alpha male's harem and territory?

I have nothing to add to this post. But Hi yourself! I've been reading your blog for ages, actually, but only recently reared my head. Like the Loch Ness Monster. Rargh!

Moominmama said...

wow. sound effects. i managed to inspire a "rargh!" and no less than three "huzzahs!" in one post. well done me.

lorna: not much. the licencing test can be passed by anyone who can spell their name correctly and promise to wear rubber gloves like a good ickle applicator.
