Careers

[(Anonymous)]

If I had not been a teacher, I think I would have been a writer (speech writer, specifically, or YA author).

What about you all?
What is your current career and what would have been if not for that?

Re: Careers

[morieris]

It's hard to answer this because many people change careers over the course of their lives multiple times.

Currently, I'm writing email blasts, but I was trained in putting together computer networks.

Re: Careers

[kallanda_lee]

Ha, I tried being a writer, but now studying to be a teacher (though mixed feelings there).

I think if I started ALL over again, I'd do something completely different. Like a blacksmith or leatherworker - interestingly there IS a market for that.

Re: Careers

[(Anonymous)]

I wanted to be a pediatrician when I was a kid. Then I wanted to be a psychic (lol) and now I’d like to be an author. Currently, I’m a student teacher, but I still write and would like to publish a book one day.

Re: Careers

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I'm a writer right now. Writing doesn't really pay the bills unless you can build up an editing client base.

I'd love to go back into fashion design. I mean, if I could go back and start again, I would push back against my parents more and go "are you trying to set me up for success or are you trying to control me through money?" Because I lost a lot of time going to the wrong school (tiny Christian thing and they were paying so they had conditions.)

Or, I'd go into game design. what... I .. originally wanted. Oh well.

Re: Careers

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I'm unemployed, but all the paid work I've ever managed to pick up has been in kitchens. Unemployed kitchen hand? Wow, that's even sadder than just 'unemployed'.
I wanted to be a teacher, but I dropped out of uni because

Re: Careers

[epicurean]

Public Relations (I dunno how to say it in english) but work in something completely unrelated (administration).

Honestly, I would have loved getting into art or animation. Or any form where I can get to be creative. Sadly that doesn't pay the bills so I work in something I'm not much into. Gotta eat, they say. And I don't hate my job, but I'm not passionate about it either.

Re: Careers

[philstar22]

Currently unemployed, but looking to be an immigration attorney. If I couldn't be an immigration attorney, I guess my next choice would be public defender. My strongest desire is to be plugged in where people need representation the most, to help people get access to the system. So representing people who can't afford an attorney and who wouldn't have one if I wasn't representing them would be another way of doing that.

If I wasn't an attorney at all, I'm not sure. The one thing I can think of would be something like a social worker maybe? Again a job where I could help people who need it most. Or basically any random job at a non-profit. I'd honestly be happy as a secretary at a nonprofit helping immigrants. I just want to make a difference and help people.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm currently in an administrative position in a steel mill. It's boring but secure.

Next September, I'm starting a two-year program to get my paralegal certification. A lawyer was one of my 'childhood dream jobs' but at this point, I think I'm too old for full law school, so I'm taking a different path into the legal world. I'd like to work in a public defender's office or for the government as opposed to a big law firm or corporation but who knows what the future holds.

Re: Careers

[(Anonymous)]

I'm kind of bitter and stuck in the office setting, which is exactly where I never wanted to be. But honestly, unless my entire upbringing was different, and I was encouraged to make the proper connections (or at least allowed to) I don't think things would be better, and could possibly be worse. As much as I hate the office setting, I'm lucky to be employed at all.

I'm an energy trader.

If I was starting over, I would either work at the seaport, with logistics, or I would be a dentist!

Christmas Music

[(Anonymous)]

Love it? Hate it?
What are your favorite Christmas songs?
Also, I LOVE cool/unexpected covers of traditional Christmas songs. Got any to reccomend?

Re: Christmas Music

[kallanda_lee]

I do love it! I even performed Christmas songs with a choir, in another life.

I don't have a solid fave. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is pretty high on my list, because it's one of the ones I sang. I feel the music really helps me get into the spirit.

Re: Christmas Music

[(Anonymous)]

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm
Where the people would come
To dance under sparkling lights
Bundled up in their mittens and coats
And the cider would flow
And I just wanna be there tonight

-- Christmas Tree Farm, Taylor Swift. (And yes, she grew up on a Christmas Tree Farm.)

Otherwise, I really love Shakin' Stevens Merry Christmas Everyone and Martina McBride's Do You Hear What I Hear?

Re: Christmas Music

[(Anonymous)]

NO Christmas until Friday IMO!!!!!

Re: Christmas Music

[(Anonymous)]

I hate a lot of Christmas music, because I was raised by choristers, and there is a lot of garbage out there.
Actual Christmas songs I like: Carol of the Bells, Silent Night, Il est Né, Carol of the Birds (but good luck finding a decent recording), The Rebel Jesus, Gaudete
More broadly Christmassy stuff, inc. comic songs: White Wine in the Sun,
St. Stephen's Day Murders... those are the only ones I can think of right now.

Re: Christmas Music

[(Anonymous)]

Love Christmas music. Made a CD of it for my dad one year. He cried. For a few years we volunteered for Thanksgiving and since dad plays banjo/guitar, I'd sing Christmas music while people ate. Those were actually more relaxing holidays than family ones. So, good memories for him.

But right now not until after Thanksgiving.

I have little rules. No snow until after my bday (beginning of month) no Christmas music/decor until after Thanksgiving. Just... for my sanity.

Hey, That's Me!

Have you ever seen a character in film or television or even in literature that you felt was totally you? Like eerily or at least meaningfully similar to you? Who was it? In what way?

What is your favorite skincare product (or routine) and why?

[kallanda_lee]

I have sort of gotten into it during the pandemic.

Here we go again

My dash is full of Destiel again because Dean apparently told Cas, “Me too”, after Cas said he loved him in the Spanish dub and I’m just ???

OP Commenter < Secret Makers

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry for my late reply (of course I seem to always miss the day my secret is posted!) but I wanted to thank the brilliant secret maker who made my BOTB's secret that was just posted yesterday! <3

I also gave a few late replies to those kind enough to comment! So- yeah! Just thought I'd let you guys know! <3
