A post and response from Radio Paradise:
I was asked what I do...

Change diapers (size 7 and below)
Cook dinners (lunches, too. Breakfasts that involve CAKE!)
Read online editions of Salon, NYTimes, LATimes, HuffPost
Take too many pictures of my kids and cats and food that I cook
Take my blue-lipped daughter to the ER in the middle of a Saturday night.
Balance a chequebook, but only under duress
Blog when I'm especially uninteresting
Verbally abuse the psychopoodle, at least once a day
Swear to avoid punctuation on most days
Fret over an upcoming phone interview
Is there a career test or job posting matching the above abilities? Dang, blew the oath against punctuation!!
And the reply, from Zep:
Change diapers: Clean up messes by subordinates.
Cook dinners: Entertain potential clients.
Read online editions of newspapers: Research competition, keep skills current.
Take too many pictures: Excellent documentation skills.
Take daughter to ER: Responds quickly to urgent crises 24x7.
Balance a checkbook: Accounting and financial skills.
Blog: Documentation, corporate communications.
Verbal abuse: Managerial talent in the making!
Swearing and oaths: Pledges of fealty to company missions.
Fret over interviews: Careful attention to detail, presentation, appearance.
Damn shame companies don't hire more MOMS.
I'd missed Zep's reply to you. Thanks for posting it here!
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck in the job hunt. :)
