Employmentally Challenged

I am reinvented! Well, on paper, anyway.

I have transformed myself from "Avian Ecologist" to a slightly less majestic, yet modern, in-demand "Business Professional."

Impossible, you say?

Nay! Anything is possible for the well-crafted résumé!




Now that I'm a Business Professional, let's get started on all those business office applications!

First application: Bank Teller

OK, but first...

Shadow needs his tummy scratched... who can resist that face? Who's a good boy?!

I should check if these plants need watering... and re-potting...

I should probably get started on dinner. I'm feeling like fresh hand-rolled ravioli with home-made ricotta...

Oh man, it's getting late now. I'll work on this application tomorrow...
Holy moly, I just can't get myself to finish this application. Something imperative keeps coming up. It must be my subconscious crying out,
"Noooooooooooooo!!!"
I've had a gut reaction to applying for the other business office jobs as well:

Selling office supplies? Strikes me as reminiscent of Dunder Mifflin without the amusing antics, and there is certainly nothing amusing about the pay. Let's file that application away for later, just in case. 

Insurance sales... ack, just kill me now! I don't need my subconscious to tell me I'm not cut out for that.

So, now what?!

Hmmm....

...Aha!

I am reinvented!

I have transformed myself into "Educator." Yes, I like the sound of that much better than 'business blah blah blah'. The local principal is encouraging me to try my hand at substitute teaching. Not as heroic as full-on teacher, but still undoubtedly courageous. I'm taking my application and newer-and-improveder résumé to the superintendent next week.

This looks like a good tactical approach for the first day:



Wish me luck!

  2. You'd be a great substitute!

    I swear I procrastinate just like you do.
