Career Cruising

From Miss Chez Shoes comes the following meme:

1. Go to Career Cruising
2. login: nycareers, password: landmark
3. Take the Career Matchmaker quiz and list the top 10 responses

Here's my top 10:

1. Fashion Designer
2. Sign Maker
3. Animator
4. Desktop Publisher
5. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator
6. Costume Designer
7. Makeup Artist
8. Graphic Designer
9. Artist
10. Computer Animator

It's actually not that bad. My actual job is listed as #8. I find #7 pretty amusing seeing as how I don't wear make-up, but I suppose that doesn't mean I couldn't put it on other people...

The first time I tried it, it thought I should be either a fashion designer, a public policy analyst, or an air traffic controller. Huh.

I re-took it just before you posted, and wound up with a whole lot of writing/pundit/political stuff. Nothing tech-support related. Given that this week is the ten-year anniversary of my career in the tech sector (and the end of any and all political-science-type aspirations), I find this deeply Alanis-ironic.

I think "Alanis-ironic" should be a new term. For when things aren't truly ironic but have that sort of ironic aura about them. Like my company announcing that they're being sold exactly one week after I sign the offer letter. Not REALLY ironic, but Alanis-ironic.

I think Roo or ML could comment better than I could, but I believe I nicked the term from that long-ago realm of the Friends Zone. I would say exactly HOW long ago but I think it might make me stick my head in the oven. ;]
