I'm not worried much about the test; It's just that I'm kind of burned out working in IT, and I sort of want to change careers, but I have no idea what I want to do, and the idea of me being ossified in a civil service job is making me wonder if I want to go through with it.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Oh, yeah, part of the VIP Zappos oath I had to take was to not tell people about VIP Zappos until it is too late for them to use it.

I feel you. I am a bit stuck in my current job situation and have been contemplating becoming an heirloom apple farmer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Harrumph.

I totally feel that. Every three years, I decide I need to Do Something Different, and instead I just get the same job again, but at a new place, so it takes another three years to remember I want to Do Something Different.
Needless to say, right now I am procrastinating the shit out of a task I don't feel like doing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I want to do something different, but I don't know what. That is a bit of a problem.

Dammit, now I have to, like, seriously consider my career and life choices and stuff now.
Ha ha, I know, right? There's nothing like suddenly having to decide what you want to do when you grow up when you already are a grown up.

Because books.
Everything different that I'd like to do requires going back to school. Which is fine, except for cost and time, and needing to actually make an income *now*.

Yeah, that's my problem. Hence getting the same job over and over again. Now I have a shitload of experience in it!

It's also weird to be looking at college programs while your kid is looking at them, you know?
