Off the Grid - Week Two Top Ten Goals

After taking a couple of skills, satisfaction and entrepreneurial assessment tests that might have been better crafted as Cosmo quizzes, it appears I have the ambitions and aptitudes of a 19th century civil servant. That can't be right. I'm deeply customer service-oriented and creative in my approach to problem solving.

And anyway, don't most people want to work in supportive environments where the occasional pesky mood swing won't matter much one way or the other? 

In an effort to see the glass as half full (and doesn't that really depend on what's in the glass and when the bar is closing?), I've switched this series (sadly not fictional, though thanks, Chickory, for thinking I worked as an apartment manager) from the victimized "Life as a Statistic" to one of my goals "Life off the grid." Though how I'm going to grow much more than kale in my sunny high-rise, I don't know. Maybe one small hen???
