I got an interview in York for a week on Monday. That's 4 days before we move.
Good news though!
Well all you silly folkes have been doing this carrer thingy what-not and for one in my life I decided that, as memes go, it's quite an eye opener...well, comparistively. It doesn't, for example, ask me what my favourite cake is. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE CAKE IS!...
Ah, but that's a rant for another time.
Ok, here we go

Ok, here we go
1. Actor - Go out and be an actor! Never mind that it's the hardest profession to make any money in!
2. Comedian - Sucks to a certain hatted individual - an internet robot finds me funnier than you!
3. Casting Director
4. Critic - I could be a critic. I am fairly critical of this list alone!
5. Print Journalist
6. Musician - I can't actually play any instruments very well, but what the hey!
7. Translator - Nor can I confidently speak a forgein language
8. Market Research Analyst - No one want's your stuff. Tough break. that's £30,000 please.
9. Composer - Nor do I have any idea how music works.
10. Writer - Hurray! Number 10 isn't bad!
11. Special Effects Technician - Sweeeeet. I could make dragons fight aliens!
12. Director of Photography
13. Professor - I assume that just involves wearing a pair of round glasses and apearing on Horizon every so often.
14. Set Designer
15. Costume Designer - You guys can have really puffy orange sleeves and like a top hat and cane...oh, and a necklace that's made of milk bottle tops...What do you mean it's set in 1965?
16. Desktop Publisher
17. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrartor - It never actually asked me if I could draw, if I liked drawing or if I had any inclination towards pictures of any kind.
18. Computer Trainer
19. Animator - Stop it
20. Website Designer
21. ESL Teacher
22. Foreign Language Instructor
23. Sport Psycologist Consultant
24. Graphic Designer
25. Computer Animator - Look, I can't draw...
26. Music Teacher / Instructor
27. Library Techician - Ah, something I've actually put some thought into.
28. Artist - I SAID I CAN'T DRAW, DAMMIT!
29. Dispatcher - Like an assassin? AWESOME!
30. Medical Illustrator - Now you're just being stupid.
31. Psychologist
32. Public Relations Specialist - I could do that. my catchphrase would be: 'get over it and fuck off'
33. Activist - WHAT DO WE WANT? NO MORE...uh...bears? No...LACK OF BEARS! - I don't think activism is for me.
34. Political Aide
35. Communications Specialist
36. Technical Writer - Ace. People could jibe me with quips like 'So you're TECHNICALLY a writer'...ho-ho!
37. Dental Assistant - I have teeth - that's a qualification, right?
38. Fashion Designer - I decree that people should stop wearing retared clothes from the eighties.
39. Tour Guide - On your left you see some stuff, cool huh? It's hella old or something, I don't know.
40. Librarian - Ta Da! The job I'm getting an interview for - number forty. well we got there eventually
As you can see from this I am made of win and sucess. You will obviously all be eating my successful and glittery dust whenI am famous for being a famous actor or comedian maybe...maybe writer.
I'm glad 'writer' is up there but it has to be the most simplistic set of careers test results I've ever had.
"You are a creative person - that means you should definitely try and do something creative maybe...like a musician?"
Still, it was pretty antertaining (that's entertaining for ants...not really, it's just a typo) so I guess it was worth it.

2?!?
Are you sure you don't want to be a Sport Psychologist Consultant?
Re: 2?!?
It has been praying on my mind all day. Maybe I do want to...help sports...think...
What the hell does a sport psychologist consultant do anyway?
I do understand these things are useful to some people (personally I've never found them to be any use at all) but to reccomend to someone that they should become a composer or an actor because they filled out a questionnaire irks me a bit. It completley ignores the fact that you actually be extremely talented or extremely lucky (respectively) to succeed in either of those things.
I don't think careers tests, very generally speaking, are for artistically creative people - simply because it's very difficult to make a 'career', in the traditional sense, out of being something like a comedian/writer/musician.
