what should I be when I grow up?

An online career test is making the rounds of the internets, so I thought I would take it. I think the results are rather interesting.... (in fact, I'm thinking if this teaching thing doesn't work out, maybe I should investigate career option 8!). Interested in doing the test yourself?

When I took a similar test in high school a hundred years ago, one of my top best fit careers was "toll taker". Just think where I could be today if I'd just pursued that:)

So 1,3 and 4 make sense but where did #2 come from? I'll report on my results when I get the chance to take it.

you might make a good pet groomer if all else fails.

PS. When ARE you gonna come up to the big cities? We're waiting (and we have a guest bed now, if you wanna spend the night.)

ok, I hate to break it to you, but the craziness gets crazier! There'll be some ebb and flow, but the first semester will be the slowest, I promise.

A late October/early November road trip should work for us! Looking forward to it (tentatively, of course).
