What I should be when I "Grow Up"

Well. According to blogthings.com I should be “In the Military”.
[with apologies to my kids who actually are or have been in the Military]
This is what I get for fooling around on the internet when I ought to be cleaning out the spare bedroom enough for the grandkids to fit in there. We just found out that Jason got the job here in NY, so instead of living 9 hours south, they will now live a mere 2 hours north. We could not be more thrilled, but in the course of moving, they will need to stay here a bit and I will be watching the grands for them which means this room must once and for all, be put to rights.

But instead of doing that, I followed a link from somewhere and ended up at a site that will analyse my future according to which image appeals to me the most. It may have looked like I was just wasting time, but not really because I have been wondering what to do with the rest of my life.

You Should Be in the Military[do what, now?]

< -----this is the image I liked that says "Military". To me it says 60's psychedelic, LSD induced high school art project. [not that I would know anything about that]

You are driven, focused, and an extremely hard worker. [yes, we know this by how clean my spare bedroom is.]
And while you can be ruthless in getting what you want, [especially if it is chocolate or Fritos] you also have a compassionate side. [I do love puppies and kitties]
You are able to balance your own desires with the needs of others. [so long as they do what I say]
You’ll do almost anything to get the job done, [except actually do the job of course] but you’re not willing to step on any one’s toes. [do not get your toes in my way to begin with and we will get along just fine]

You do best when you:
– Are working with others [I usually don’t even like “others” all that much, actually]
– Are in a fast paced environment [yup, fast paced, that’s me all right]

You would also be a good CEO [this I might like because it involves telling other people what to do and I do SO love telling other people what to do] or school principal. [this is like a joke, right?]

Go ahead – find out what you should be when you grow up and then come back and tell us about it, ok? I will be cleaning the spare bedroom sitting here, drinking coffee in a fast paced environment, focusing on cleaning the spare bedroom.

    I’m a little scared to take this test. I’ll try it later on when I’m feeling braver.

  2. Susan says:

    O.k. I am going to take the test even though I am suppossed to be getting the kids ready for the library.

  3. Susan says:

    O.k. I did it and it said I should be a Social worker. I t talked about how caring an d good at taking care of others you are. At the end it said you could also be a philanthropist or a stay at home parent. Which is what I am. Yeah that was fun.

  4. Ness says:

    It said I should be a mechanic. I’m orderly and patient and all those good mechanical qualities.

    I could almost see that EXCEPT I would have to DEPEND on parts distributors to SEND the right parts in a TIMELY fashion, deal with customers who thought I was doing the work for free even though I called them and told them the amount for fixing their vehicle…no thanks, I’ll stay as a work at home partime medical transcriptionist.

  5. Tammy says:

    Well who can argue with the results of such a highly detailed and scientific analysis as this?

    I should be a mechanic. Actually it sounds just like me… as long as I wouldn’t have to fix anything or think 3 dimensionally.

  6. Pennies In My Pocket says:

    I’m tempted to take the test!

    So glad I wondered onto your blog…this is hilarious! Oh and “You are able to balance your own desires with the needs of others. [so long as they do what I say]” — CRACKING ME UP!

    Oh and … about your comment about the mixer on my last post…I KNOW! I want the red lipstick colored one!!! I don’t even need it, I just want it cuz it’s pretty! hahahaha

    My jaw is dropping ……. how does blogthings know you so well … dead ringer ….I’d be checking for hidden cameras. Put the CEO and the military career together and I think that makes you the head of Joint Chief of Staff or something like that…. at least a General. Don’t forget your roots when you’re up there.

    That’s good news about Jason & Ellyn and kids!

    I’ll be looking forward to the soon to be posted picture ……. your’e beautiful! (I think blogthings.com forgot to metion that, so I guess they dont’ know everything!)

    I love this!
    I will blog on it later and link to you.

  10. Amy says:

    Well that didn’t take me very long. Here is my post.

    Thanks everyone – it is truly astounding how accurately they can predict for us, based on just one little picture. But then, I guess that means there are only 8 occupations necessary to the smooth functioning of contemporary society. We are missing quite a few of them if everyone is reporting their results though.

  12. Weezee says:

    Hey I should be Dr. and right now I should be running errands.
    Do you think a Dr. is a far cry from a dog trainer? We both diagnose things and then people go home and do whatever want. HHHmmmmm. Oh geesh just kidding!

  13. Ellyn says:

    Jason and I should both doctors. We really should be packing our stuff but instead I am taking silly tests.

  14. Jenni says:

    Oooh, I love these things. I’ll have to check it out.

  15. suchsimplepleasures says:

    a social worker!!! i should be a social worker…funny, i have 5 kids so, i kind of am!!!
    thanks for posting that link. it’s fun to take those tests!!!
    have a great night and good luck cleaning out the spare bedroom…

  16. dlyn says:

    You can’t help yourself Ellyn – it is hereditary.

    suchsimplepleasures – good luck with what now? am I supposed to be doing something?

    and yes weezee – docotrs are exactly the same as dog trainers. truly – would I lie to you?

  17. Nekked Lizard Lady says:

    Hmmm, says I should be a social worker. Well, I am a worker, sometimes a work-aholic, but I’m sure not social. I never do these things right. ;)

  18. Diesel says:

    I could totally be in the military. Unless you have to get up early, have a sense of direction, or follow instructions.

  19. saved by jen says:

    i’m glad you stopped by. i learned that i should be a social worker or a stay at home mom. =) both dream jobs. but the pay for the SAHM is much better. =D unfortunately it will have to wait a few years while my bf completes his law degree and a few other of my moneymaking plans pan out.
