Future employment prospects

So I'm the luckiest girl ever. My sweet friend Shannen has agreed to give me some editing work while I'm in England! It won't be a whole lot, maybe two projects a month of 15-20 hours each. But hey, that's perfect, on account of sometimes I won't be able to work because I'll be in Belgium eating chocolate and practicing all kinds of French on good-looking non-smoker men.

Savvymom says I need to be sure to only spend that money on things like travel and shoes. She's right. Otherwise I might be tempted to do something stupid like pay off my student loans early or add to my retirement account.

I found one of those quizzes online that HR departments supposedly give to potential hires. And in celebration of my upcoming job, I figured it would be fun to take it. Feel free to play along, but don't blame me if you find out for the first time that you're a sociopath or similar.

Now for my results! I forgot to add up the points, so I'll just go with the description that seems closest.

Points that Nemesis got: You are an attractive and vivacious woman whose ovaries are not drying out at all. Your intelligence and wit is not intimidating to men--indeed, it attracts them, especially British men. You would be best suited for a career in library science, professional bossing, or royalty. And your niece Savannah loves you the best. Also your hair is nice. Go celebrate with a flourless chocolate torte!
