He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it
I have just been forced to complete a Jackson Vocational Interest Survey for my counselling course. It wasn’t really about the results but more to teach us how to evaluate the scores. Anyway, to my horror I have discovered that my true vocation apparently lies in encyclopaedia writing…yup, this little test thinks that I should be the one who is able to sum up major wars, or political figures in 150 words or less…this little 289 question test obviously has no idea who it is referring to…because not only am I long winded but I also have a habit of changing history to suit myself or my mood…like the history lesson I gave to this poor French man who was on a tour bus with me in Jamaica who now thinks that Jamaica was founded by King Harland Marley on a Sunday when he went out for a leisurely 3 hour boat tour around Grand Cayman but unfortunately the weather started getting rough and his tiny ship was tossed and if it wasn’t for the courage of his fearless crew his ship would have been lost…but, thankfully, his ship took ground on the shore of that uncharted isle and with no phone, no light or no motor car he forced to remain there. Although they didn’t have luxury, they had pot, and life was good…of course at the time I was translating what the tour guide was saying for him into French…and I may have just asked him for a beer, and if I could go to the bathroom…I’m not too sure…’cuz it is a bit fuzzy…Jamaican rum and all.
My second bestest job apparently is a dictionary writer…which as you all know, and goes without need of explanation, is a huge joke.
But I only got those two job recommendations because they didn’t list Go-Go dancing as an occupation.
