Saturday, May 21, 2005 AD The Inner Know-It-All in Each of Us I like this post on the Top 10 Things Everyone Thinks They Can Do. I italicized the ones I claim:
10. Write song lyrics (This is the hardest one for me to joke about, because I really do think I can do this, and yet I also have great doubts about my ability to do this.)
9. Design a website (As long as you don't want anything technically current.)
8. Write a children's book (Not unless it was one of those toddler board books. I could probably write ten pages on color -- "Red Blue Yellow Green Orange White Brown Pink Purple Black" -- or on animals -- "Dog Cat Horse..." -- you get the picture.)
7. Write movie reviews (Whenever I try to write about a movie or a book, I usually preface my remarks with a disclaimer that I don't know how to write about film or literature.)
6. Be a comedian (Well I am officially the funniest chick at my workplace.)
5. Design a church service (Happily, if I did, it'd look a lot like CREC's, so I can stay out of trouble there.)
4. Work in sports (Hahahahahahaha!)
3. Write Top 10 lists (I had one published in ETC.)
2. Write a book (I'm sure I've got one in me somewhere.)
I guess that gives me a know-it-all score of 7/10. How 'bout you?
I would add one to the list: Everyone thinks they can be a graphic designer and a copyeditor. Oh how many times I've bit my tongue when I've wanted to say to colleagues, "Leave me alone and let me do my job because you are not good at it!" Can you think of other additions?
