My true talent, and the dance with Ms. Universe
Your true talent is numerical ability:
You’re great with numbers, whether you enjoy math or not. Your results show that you’re not only good at calculations, you are much better than most people at understanding how to use numbers to your advantage.
How do we know that’s your true talent? While you were taking the test, we calculated your responses to each test question and rated your skills in 5 areas. You scored highest on numerical ability.
People like you manage their personal finances with ease. In the work world, your numeric skill can help you in a variety of ways. Because so many other people have trouble understanding numbers and figures, you really have an opportunity to shine and use this talent to your advantage.
Ok, perhaps I can give this stupid test the credit of properly analyzing my affluency for numbers … after all, how many people actually troubleshoot their cashflow totals with If / then statements to completely encompass the possibile results of missing data? But personal finances? With ease?
… With ease, MY ASS!
It seems as though the difficulties with my finances never end, with Ms. Universe (see previous entry for the explanation on this one) constantly being her ever fickle and responsive self. About the time I figured I was starting to get everything in order and started to explore the possibilities of how to treat the carpal tunnel (sans surgery, preferably) and complete my education so I can teach, lo and behold …
Canada Student Loan, minimum payment $411.00, due in 7 days.
and so, Ms. Universe has taken the shape of the Federal Government, with a 21-dildogun salute aimed straight at my ass … I swear some days if I opened my mouth I’d projectile a purple monster from the force of the continuous reamings.
*narrowing eyes* December 2004, I killed the first Credit Card, and September 9th the second met the same fate … this battle may be long, but I will win it in time. I’m just too damn good not to, and I have students to teach on my horizons.
To you, Ms. Universe, I say this … do your worst.
