My Ever-Ever Expanding Resume (Gabrielle)

I keep talking about this resume I should write someday. You know, something that lists my skills and positions in life. Aunt, nanny, storyteller, playground equipment, pro-bono toy surgeon, cook, baker, goof-ball and so on. Well, I found another skill just lying around. Or perhaps I should say I found a constructive use for a habit. I am a confirmed label-picker. Any label I see is a label that wants to come off. I’m not compulsive. I am actually a kind and helpful person in assisting the label in leaving its current place. This, shall we say, tendency of mine has led to some, um, friction, if you will, between my family and I in the past, but yesterday we found a constructive use for it. I went over to our house-to-be and used my powers of label picking to rip up flooring. It was very satisfying. Crystal had been working on it, but her skills at label picking are not as practiced as mine. So I think I will add “Label-Picker” to my ever expanding resume.

    There were many times as a QC Tech that Joshua had to peel labels off bottles of dressing to correct an error. There would be a whole crowd of people just peeling labels for hours.

    There really could be a career in this for you. ;o)

    Better to be a label picker than a nose picker. ; -)

    I am reminded of one of my Dad’s favorite “quotes”:

    You can pick your friends.

    You can pick your nose.

    But you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
