Jobs I'll never do....

Some things I have learned about myself have lead me to know that I will never do the following jobs.

1. Any kind of surgery. I'm not at all queasy and in fact I got to watch my sister-in-law's C-section. It was very cool. However, the operating table is no place for someone who is not a perfectionist. I like to get the general idea, but get a little bogged down in minute details.

2. Those people who stand and hold road signs. This job would be torture to me. To have to stand in the same spot and not be able to do things at once. One thing I inherited from my father is the ability to do several things at the same time. We tease him that he reads, watches TV, listens to the radio and takes a nap at the same time. Perhaps if I could listen to good books on tape or something to make it productive time it would be better. I think those people should be able to have a little stool or something. They do get paid well, but I would go out of my mind! I don't even blow dry my hair unless I have a book in front of me. (OK, *if* I blow dry my hair. :-))

3. A photographer. I haven't given up on this one totally yet, but it is time I came to the conclusion, No, it isn't just that I don't have a good camera. It is me! I do want to improve in this skill....and then get an expensive camera. :-)

4. An aerobics instructor. I would say, "OK, ladies, that's enough for today. You've worked hard enough" about 20 minutes into the class. I work out because I want to stay in shape and healthy, but I don't have that inner drive that some people talk about.

If you haven't checked out mental multivitamin recommend a dose. Scroll down to her post yesterday (titled I think) to read what I wish I could write. She always manages to put into words much of what I think about learning and home educating! I'll probably never be a writer either, but I like to read good ones!
