In my post for "One Time By Accident" I said... "too many to list..." and that is true... But someone sent me a PM to list at least one funny and I couldn't really think of one...
Well I was out shopping with my husband tonight and he brought up one of my more idiotic moments..
So I knew I had to come write about it here...
Warning... It''s kind of gross and really embarassing..
A few years ago, before I got pregnant, I had to go to the gynecologist for my yearly checkup. So I'm sitting there all buck naked wearing that stupid paper gown and freezing my tushy off. Well I'm always afraid of smelling... ya know... in a certain place when I go to the doctor, so I noticed some wet naps on the counter, the kind in a pop up container right? Anyways I get up and grab one and ya know.. clean myself just in case. About 3 seconds later, I started burning down there like you would not believe. I was on fire and it was burning so bad I almost cried. That's when I noticed that the wet naps on the counter weren't hygienic body wipes but those Clorox counter bleach wipes for cleaning your house. I had to get up on the counter and rinse myself off in the sink, deathly afraid someone was gonna walk in... thank god no one did.
Needless to say.... I will never live that down...
So that's the stupidest most embarassing thing I have ever done.

Then I seriously salute you  My ex boyfriend (music teacher) tried to teach me that once, and told me it was the reason for his sudden premature hairloss. Most things I can pick up within a few minutes, but percussion things, no way. It's like my body just refuses to do anything repetative or rhythmical

I'm not great at it at all; my husband and dog will attest to that. At one time i was banned from banging it when he was around  But once he got his accordian things are now even. Now the poor dog has to be put outside before i "play" it - it just makes him nervous.

My chorus has labled me as "Rythmically Challenged" b/c it's a known fact that I cannot sing and clap on beat. Either i screw the song up or i just don't clap!
And because i'm like 5'9....i HAVE to be in the front so my chorus teacher can not only hear me but so the other kids can see.....well you get the picture of me looking really embarrassed while we were singing Bridge Over Troubled Water and @ the end is where people can clap...well i couldn't clap....again the Challengedness popped up when i had to snap on beat and we all couldn't do it so my teacher (whom i love dearly and embarrasses me good naturedly) had all the females snap so the guys (and me) could all sing Workin' On The Railroad (i've been working on the railroad...all the live long day etc)
We were all excited when i actually did clap on beat in our huge Southern Baptist song Music Down In My Soul where we had be like those (and i'm not being racist or anything here) black choirs that sound amazing and it sounds fun.... I did manange it though.
sorry if i bored you guys but i really do identify with the whole..the whole body refusing rhythm. |

My degree is as aclassical anthropologist, specialization in American Southwest archaeology.
Jobs I've actually held: Park Ranger, Mortgage Loan Closer, Land Title closing assistant, Document Preparation tech for a Mortgage Law firm - I could not only read a land survey, I could tell the surveyor how to do it. But alas, unless you want to teach or you win the lottery, you can volunteer for lots of stuff but NO one will pay you to do what you love ('cause they can always get starving college student for peanuts and retirees for free). Good luck (if you can swing it, enjoy it!).

My degree was nearly in Egyptology, but at the last minute for some unknown reason I decided to switch to law (think I was drunk at the time or something )
I can't say anything about people giving jobs to starving students though as I've just landed a job at Scottish TV on that basis Since I'm hoping to combine my current degree with my other in stage management, I'm hoping this is my 'foot-in-the-door'. (Of course it was nothing to do with the fact that my neighbour is head of the department there and got me the job. No, not at all.  )
My record is having four jobs within three months I think, and my parents despair. They've both worked in the same job for 30+ years, and that's the way they reckon things should be. Personally I still haven't found anything I'd want to do for 30+ years. Except maybe become an author... but then I'd have to learn to write properly...

Thanks for dashing my hopes, Yavanie. J/K I knew when I changed my major to History that I would have two career options; professor, curator. I'm hoping for the latter. But, I added Political Science double major in there, so maybe I can get a relatively interesting job in Washington D.C.
