I woke up this morning ready to start applying for more jobs. I went through various positions and I think after the 10th job application and the 10th time of writing the same stuff about my education and work experience and saying that I am over the age 18 yrs etc, I found a position to sell insurance. Now this is not the most ideal sounding position but honestly I can sell anything and make it fun. I love to sell. So I was eager to apply for this position. I know it will pay good money. I get through the entire application process and receive that confirmation email. I open the email and it says, you have to complete a short 60 minute (60 MINUTES, sorry but that is not short) questionnaire. Now normally when I see these things I think, its aptitude questions. Nope...it's all math.
NOw math was no my strong subject in school...it was my worst subject. Anyone who knows me, knows how much math has been a big fat negative in my life. When I finished my last math class in undergrad Sophomore year, I thought "hurray done forever". My degrees, both Bachelors and Masters have nothing to do with real math.
This whole thing has me beyond stressed out. I know it is perfectly possible to sell successfully without having to do advanced mathematics...so this is just crap.
I don't think I did well....so I think I can count that position out of my future career goals.
On a lighter note, I have been watching "Amazing Wedding Cakes" on WE and now I want to learn to decorate cakes for a hobby....now I have to find a class to teach me.
Ryan and I had our first attempt at Web Cam chatting yesterday and it went very well...It made me super duper happy to see his adorable face again after a whole week! Hopefully he will book a surprise flight to come see me in March or early April..HINT hint nudge nudge ;-)

I love your subtle hints!! :) I don't understand why you need all the math to be an insurance agent but maybe randal can enlighten us... love you
I know of a lady that does classes...she did my wedding cake and it was gorgeous. She was actually on the ultimate cake off. Her name is SHARON ZAMBITO, here is her site www.sugaredproductions.com. I'm not sure how much she charges for her class, but she was very reasonable for my cake purchase. Her cake website is sharonssugarshack.com, my wedding cake is actually on her wedding gallery...i think it's the last one...it's the 4 tier with green and white flowers with the white ribbon around it and broach on the bow of the white ribbon. You should really look into it, you won't be disapointed. I fully intend on taking some classes when I have the money. Tell her that Meagan sent you.
Awesome Meagan! She is coming to a convention in August. I think im gonna check it out. I saw ur cake! It was soo nice...was it really expensive?
