Did anyone else take the Morrisby test when they were at school? (A 4 hour long test that told you what your career should be.) I just found the report for mine (taken about half my lifetime ago) and these were the careers it suggested would suit me:

1. Chemistry (research)
2. Civil Service - scientific office
3. Polymer science
4. Textile technologist
5. Engineering - chemical
6. Systems analysis (computers)
7. Computer programming
8. Chemistry (industrial)
9. Architecture
10. Engineering - civil
11. Insurance - underwriter/broker
12. Advertising executive

I wonder what it would suggest if I took it again now.
Sometimes during lectures, we're given career talks from random companies. Potential careers seem to involve:

1. Stability testing of gravestones.
2. Reviewing parachute folding procedures.
3. Useability of tampon instruction leaflets.
4. Playing Wii sports.
5. Watching people through one-way mirrors.

Monday's class trip involved the latter. After that, tiredness and hunger gave way to paranoia and me wondering whether the street I was walking up (Archway Road) mostly consisted of one-way mirrors. Every shop window displaying a reflection and even postboxes painted with potentially one-way postbox red and pavements in one-way grey, I wondered about. Perhaps this is the first stage in acquiring the super power to see through walls?

[livejournal.com profile] gevurah has suggested I wear a mask made of a one-way mirror.

At the weekend, I saw a 950 year old tree, walked across the beach in California, drove a boat past reeds, herons, moorhens and windmills, saw the sunrise and the trees covered in mist, and wandered around the cobbled streets of Norwich. Then we looked into the water and saw a very vivid reflection of a bridge and wandered where that bridge led to (somewhere different entirely to where the real bridge led to).
