It seems this, whatever it is, insists on one symptom at a time. It's in my head now, and it's just not comfortable. Yesterday I was feeling pretty good, actually. I cleaned my house while listening to/watching the football game, getting more done in the first than the second half, since the second half was actually pretty exciting. To no avail, though. I am so very tired of losing to Iowa State.

It must have zapped everything out of me, because the only thing I could manage to do today was lounge on the couch and read. Even television was too much stimulation.

And last on the bandwagon, as usual:

Rules:
1. Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top twenty results.


1. Money Manager
2. Certified Public Accountant
3. Research Analyst (Financial)
4. Customs Broker
5. Purchaser
6. Auditor
7. Insurance Underwriter
8. Personal Financial Planner
9. Bookkeeper
10.Electronics Engineering Tech
11.Electrical Engineering Tech
12.Avionics Tech
13.Optical / Ophthalmic Lab Technician
14.Industrial Engineering Tech
15.Logistics Specialist
16.Motorcycle Mechanic
17.Mechanical Engineering Tech
18.Engineering Tech
19.Automobile Mechanic
20.Diesel Mechanic

I took this once before and got a lot more things like tilesetter, plumber, mechanic, electrician. Now for the second time around, those spots are all filled with engineering stuff. I'll leave that to my brother.

So did I get the results I did because I do them, or do I do them because of my aptitude?

Josh insisted I stay home from tkd on Friday night so I wouldn't get any worse. It was probably a good idea, but I wanted to go.

I'm pretty much amazed by your Career Counseling results, because I can see you doing (and doing well) everything on your list. Either I need to answer the questions more honestly than I thought I did, or I need to be more open to questions I shut down out right by not giving them a high enough priority. How do you feel about your results?

Get better soon. Sickness sucks! *hugs and air kisses* (What with the germs and all.*wink*)

That's the closest career match I've seen, I think. Good to see you're working in your ideal career environment!

I hope you feel better soon. I agree; sickness SUCKS.
