What career should you have had...

http://www.buzzfeed.com/ashleyperez/what-career-should-you-have


You got: Vice President

You are a doer, you know how to get things done. You’re half analytical, half big thinker, which is what makes you so valuable to any team. You love a good challenge, and are excited by possibility. Go get ‘em, tiger because at this point you’re pretty much unstoppable. Other occupations: engineer.

Welcome back allthesses.

Remember this is a world where copilots might get phased out by some cost-cutting airlines.
On the other hand I think in the US every sixth VP became President.
And one guy even became pres by the VP route without ever being voted in by anybody. :eek:

Sometimes people do wake up and smell the coffee though. This has been part of my own mid-life crisis. When you're in your teens, 20s and thirties, you are invincible and those suffering from such afflictions are often seen as old. Then you get to 40s and 50s and it is not so far away and you can decide not to be a passenger. The last year or so I've worked much harder at eating well and exercising more. I'm late coming to this conclusion, but better late than never.

Me too.

I've spent the lasst 6 weeks exercising daily and being careful what I eat.

I can see that I have toned up a bit and have more energy, but the scales haven't moved. Possibly I have gained muscle and lost fat, if you believe that muscle is heavier than fat, if you believe that.

That's a particularly silly one, for me, anyway!

You got: Humanitarian

You are a giver, a justice seeker. You spend more time thinking about others than yourself, and more than anything just want what you’re doing to help someone in some way. Essentially, you is kind, you is smart, you is important. Other occupations: social worker, judge

You got: Designer

You are an artist, creative juices are oozing out of you. You’d make just as good of a designer as you would an architect, as long as you get to create something. You live your life like Michelangelo, constantly looking for the sculpture within the stone. Other occupations: architect, editor.

Me three

I had whooping cough, which lasts for 3 months and pretty much floors you, Christmas and new year and had put weight on.

I decided to start looking after myself, cut out sugar, chocolate and any fast foods and just eat healthy foods. It wasn't any diet, but more a lifestyle change.

More than a year has past and I'm really enjoying eating healthy and don't ever want to change back. I don't mind the odd thing on holiday or special occasion, but I draw the line at that.
I go to the gym three times a week and I'm enjoying that too, but it's more the healthy eating that matters IMO.


You were not too late viva. You were the perfect age to make it a permanent lifestyle change.

I would write more but it is late because
(1) DD2 and DS have their birthdays tomorrow so cake is baked, presents are wrapped, bicycle is assembled etc
(2) Since an outage mid Jan our internet has been carp. Today's fun seemed to be that something happened to the router, all the wired port connections seem to have failed and the wireless is only working again having pressed the 'need a pin to get to it' reset button and then reset all the settings back from their defaults. This means I am now on the dodgy signal bit of the wifi and all the STBs are not working and I can't put a new book on my Nook etc

And it is now 60 minutes after I had planned to be sleeping.

I got this one too!

Nikkster

Apparently I should be an astronaut...

Generali

Many oily fishes are available in Aus, both local and imported.

I just can't see why Mrs Generali will change her lifestyle in the same way that her parents haven't changed theirs. I think it gets files under 'too difficult'.

You got: Writer

You are a maker. Creative from the day you were born, you spend most of your time thinking about the world you live in. You are open to new ideas and value beauty and originality more than most. We both know you’re not really the office type, so give yourself some room to create. Other occupations: director, producer, advertiser.

Well that was a surprise for me! :rotfl:
