After my initial enthusiasm with the 30 Days of Lists project, I was reading through some blogs and realised how much it annoyed me when blogs were simply memes, and I realised that I actually unsubscribed from a couple taking part in this because I was fed up of the lack of content, and constant lists. SO, I do still like it, but will append them on the end of other entries, so hopefully it won’t get too irritating…and with that, list 2!
Things I’m Good At
I’m not good at praising myself – appraisals are a nightmare, with me looking at what my boss has written, going “really?” ;), but here goes:
- baking. I love baking, and love baking for others :)
- embroidery/cross stitch
- knitting/crochet
- reading. I can read at epic speeds.
- Scrabble. Not quite up to James’ talent levels, but I can hold my own
- cooking – not so much fancy stuff, but the day to day stuff you eat for tea after work
- navigating round London’s public transport. Not so good at street level.
- finding stuff to do for free/cheap! I love London and it’s free museums, and TV recordings, and random stuff to do!
- learning stuff. I actually tend to pick stuff up quite quickly, but I wish employers would accept this instead of experience :(
It is so true that experience, even bad experience, counts for more than ability to learn in an employers eyes. I used to work at a place that said that attitude was more important than experience but then all the interview questions were about experience. Cannot win.
Hah! Kindred spirit. I have the EXACT SAME TOTE. Bought it for myself at the Rob Ryan shop at Colombia Road. LOVE Rob Ryan. Do you read the Wee Birdy blog too? She used to live in London but is now in Australia and I usually love anything she writes about.
