Testtrack

Now where will this road take me?

Helpful hint - it has absolutely nothing to do with me stuffing my face in this birthday cake… although that would be more fun :)

But in all seriousness, I cannot express how much I appreciate Evan never getting upset with me about not having a job yet, as well as State athletics allowing me to work part-time.  With our up-coming move to Plymouth, I just get so darn excited… but than reality hits.  I don't have a job.  My superiors tell me that I shouldn't be picking a job in this economy.  My heart tells me to wait… wait until I am excited and proud to say what I do.  

These past couple of days we were at our cousins' four-year-old son's funeral.  Between the tears and grieving, we mingled with family and friends.  Many asked me 'now what are you doing?'  I would reply that I just completed my master's in December.  I do have to giggle on how many different areas I had potentially 'received' my degree in - nursing, teaching, etc.!  Somedays I really do wish I had become an engineer, nurse, teacher, or banker because I really cannot place a finger on what my absolute dream job would be.  

I just love life.  I love to turn negatives into positives and see the light in every dark situation.  I love the naive public and the off-the-wall statements they make.  I love how those statements drive me to learn more about the topic from other angles and than form my personal opinion.  I love the joy of an awkward conversation and completely melt with the idea of coming home to Evan and making him laugh.  I love making mistakes because I know that I tried something new and learned.  I love chained together sticky-notes with massive to-do lists.  I love squinting my eyes, cocking my head to the side and thinking of a new way to approach a situation.  I love talking and writing whether it is creative or scholarly.  I love talking to massive groups and getting the feeling I'm going to vomit on the microphone - there is no other way to get an adrenaline rush!!  I love waiting for a customer to erupt and than playing my weird mental game - 'How fast can you make them happy?!'  I love being the bringer of happiness.  

That is my perfect career description and duty.  

Positive attitudes, opinionated, research driven, sense of humor, risk taking, goal driven, creative, communications, dynamic, intergenerational and cultural interaction.

Now folks, please tell me how to write that in an expressive cover letter without sounding like a complete loony or hopeless dreamer.
