It is official! I received my employment packet via UPS this morning. While I have two weeks until I start my new job, there are so many decisions to make (if you know me, you know I hate decision). Besides figuring out health insurance, I get the wonderful task of deciding on extra deductions such as, accidental death and dismemberment, life insurance, flex-medical account, transportation, vision, dental, and much more.
Oh! The truly difficult part is that I have to write a blurb about myself that includes previous work experience, information about my new role at Company, hobbies, talents and any other interesting facts I would like to share, to help Company employees (approx. 500 at this office, plus all the world-wide employees) get to know me. I am dumbfounded as to what I should write. Unfortunately, Husband is the one with all the hobbies and talents. I just try to stay as busy as possible so I don’t think about how boring I truly I am. So here is my thought… I have two weeks to develop some hobbies and interesting talents. HELP!!!!!

My name is ****, but my friends and the local law enforcement in my hometown call me "Hot Lips." When I'm not in the office, I enjoy taxidermy, strip poker, and square dancing. In addition to my extensive academic credentials, I am also versed in the practice of Santaria and serve my community as a priestess.
Wife, make a list of things you like to do...you have hobbies! Theatre!!! Duh! see there is one! Oh yeah and seeing as your best friend is a english professor in training, I am sure she would be able to look over/make suggestions for you!

Linda J: Wow, you sure nailed Wife. I'm sure that would be the exact description of everyone who knows her.
See? It's all about the spin. I shoulda gone into marketing. Or politics.
D: very true. Wife does have lots of exciting things she could write about. She probably should take full advantage of the English professor in training though.
Linda J: yes, I agree. You are a master of the art of spinning. If I ever need a PR person, I'm looking to you.
