I admit to nothing

Just because everybody on my flist and my friends flists was doing it, didn't mean I had to do it too. Besides: I am quite happy with my job, so there was really no point for that 'career-meme' that's doing the rounds. Except that at the end of this week I had a blow up about some client who thought he could just ignore my work and let someone else get all the honours and I was seriously considering finding another line of work. So I did it.
That careermeme:
1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top ten results.
Okay, that was helpful. Since I still prefer to keep the specifics of my professional life away from my journal life I'm not gonna post the results. Because as it turns out I've been making my money for the past ten years with exactly what I want to do. In my top ten my job ended up on number one -combined with number 7- and all the suggestions in between are my hobbies, so that's that, I suppose. I guess I need to find a way to deal with stupid clients. Because I can't think of anything else I'd want to do for the rest of my life.
But because of the above mentioned incident, this weekend my mind has been out of control. I can't turn off thinking about it, because I'm deeply insulted and fucking angry. It could have something to do with pms, but let's not blame the hormones for overreacting, because it was truely worthy getting upset about. I've decided to ask the boss on Monday exactly what was said and if he at least defended my work to the client. I've been so dissapointed in him lately. /job related rant.
On with a meme that's way more fun and just as revealing:
Stolen from

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you
I was gonna post another meme, but I still have to upload the pictures I collected (see quirk 7 *g*) Instead I will finish this post of blah with links to all the other places I've set up camp in. Not because I think lj will implode, but because some of my friends and favorite communities have moved there.
I now not only have a hide away in Greatest Journal, but I've also staked a claim at Insane Journal (because having a Dutch blog, personal picture-corner, parkingplace for my artwork, moviereview-section, myspace, hyve, Cupid-profile and an experimental website next to this live journal aren't enough;) You're welcome to join me there.

- I have to walk around when brushing my teeth. Because just standing above the sink and staring in the mirror for three minutes gets quite boring.
- I always need to have the last say. Not only in conversations or discussions, but also in online comments. I know it's a very annoying thing to do and I'm trying to stop. So feel free to let me know when I'm doing it again:)
- I hate people who whistle. It's the most irritating sound in the world. Seriously. Don't do it near me, if you want to live.
- As I get older, my short time memory is fading away. This morning I was on my way to get a belt from my closet. Before I reached the door to my bedroom I had already forgotten what I was going to do
- I don't shave my legs. Because hairless legs are not feminine, but childlike. In my opinion.
- I forget to count when doing excercises My mind starts to wander, making it impossible to finish the required series of excercises.
- I still fail at homework It's not so bad when I don't finish my own to-do-list, but it's rather embarrassing when others ask me to do stuff for them and I keep postponing it like I did with schoolwork in the old days.

Date: 2007-09-20 03:53 pm (UTC)Oooo, go you! I have refrained from doing it so far, because I'm pretty sure my current place of employment is as far from my dream job as they come, and I would like to not be depressed :p. I'll do it at some point though, I'm sure. I'm a sheep that way.
I always need to have the last say
I'm pretty sure you don't always succeed in doing that, LJ-wise, because I'm exactly the same *g*.
*continues with the dutifully checking of the flist, and the taking of pictures of the Flat*
