Y'all, it has been an interesting month, to say the least. After that horrible dream about having to fire my appliances, guess what? I went in to work to discover that they were giving Marjean the old heave-ho. I must be one of them psychics, 'cause it was just like my dream when they told me that my due to expenses, my role would be ending. I cried a bit, peed a little, then cried some more. Who's going to hold this place together if it's not me?
Then, I got to thinkin'. And I know what you're thinkin'...anything that gets Marjean to thinkin' is bound to be trouble. Like the time I decided that the Piccadilly Cafeteria didn't know how to cook cornbread the right way and I stormed the kitchen with a gallon of buttermilk and a can of Crisco. But that's another blog for another day.
Now, I've always tried to be one of those optimists, you know? The kind of people who see the cup is half-full instead of half-empty. Heck, I think it really depends on what the cup is full of, don't you? If it's iced tea, that's all fine and dandy, but what if it's one of those specimen cups you get at the doctor? Lawd!
So anyway, I got to thinkin' that this may be a blessin' in disguise. Sure, I have spent my career pursuing the Administrative Arts and Secretarial Sciences, but is it really what I'm cut out to do? I had to wonder.
So, I visited a real-live Career Counselor and took a series of tests designed to help you figure out what your true calling in life is. And y'all, it was so liberatin' and eye openin'. Even Mr. Figgins the Career Counselor said that in all his years at the Job Placement Center, he'd never seen the computer spit out so many potential careers for somebody.
Based on my unique profile, interests and abilities, here are a few career options that the computer said I should pursue:

- Rodeo Clown
- Hostess at Denney's
- Home Health Nurse - Sponge Bath Specialist
- Chicken Farmer
- Middle School Cafeteria Lunch Lady
- Podiatrist's Assistant - Corn & Bunion Counselor
- 911 Operator
Y'all, I was just tickled at all the possibilities that I had never before considered! Given my love for animals, cooking, feet and helping people, these jobs just seemed to make sense. I am anxious to get started on whatever will be my next step in the world!
So what do y'all think I should do? Cast your vote over there to your left and let me know where you see my very special talents could be best utilized.
Until next time y'all....if there is a next time.

Marjean,
Seeing as how you love Miss Paula Deen, I hear the Piggly Wiggly is looking for a Pork Cracklin' demonstrator. You know those nice ladies at the grocery store that give you samples? I think you'd be great at that. You can pretend like you're on Paula's show and talk to the crowd!
Marjean, you would be Perfect as an appliance repair inspector! You have this knack of relating to an appliance on an Existential level. No one else I know can dream about toasters, washers & dryers, dishwashers and microwaves like you do. Then -- y'all can have your own TV show - MARJEAN'S HOME APPLIANCE REPAIR and talk about your life! Oh and then, you can bring on your family, maybe have Roy come on the show and renew your weddin' vows, bring on the kids and have them lern. Just like Paula! You'd be a natch'ral in front of the camera!
Marjean, I too share an affinity for the podiatrical arts and I feel very strongly that you should pursue a career as a corn and bunion counselor. By reading your blogs I can just tell that you are the sort of person that can tackle the delicate issues of proper foot care with a no nonsense take no prisoners approach, like that Dr. House on the TV but hopefully with less need for self-medication. I wish you well in your career hunt I know that you will be a great success at what ever you set your hand to.
