2. What do you like most about your job?
It requires creativ... The intellectual challenge... I feel good about the contribution I... okay, free Coke.

3. What do you like least about your job?
It's full-time, and thus interferes with my life.

4. When you have a bad day at work it's usually because _____...
...someone's lack of planning becomes my emergency.

5. What other career(s) are you interested in?
Just about the only ones I have NO interest in are sales, politics, or courtroom law. I'm just not into power over others* or coercion of any stripe. The rest I could see myself enjoying.

Astronaut. Aerobatic pilot, either teaching or in airshows. Making baby-blanket quilts. Fiction writer. Line editor or copyeditor. Financial coach (advice: quit spending lots of money on financial advice). Pastry chef.

That's this week. Many others are on the back burner.

I do, although I'm much more keen on starting projects than finishing them. Baby-blanket quilts are the perfect size for me to finish.

I have one such which has been waiting to be bound for quite a while. Quilting is one of those things I find much more compelling in groups.
