OT math and degrees

[Guest guest]

all y'all messed up - I took a theology degree -

and haven't had to take a math class since high

school. tee-hee.

 

Only scare I had was when I was " qualified " (sic)

in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. I had to

pass a test on psychometrics. By that time, I

had experience in validating tests for courses I

designed, so with some horse sense, I was able to

pass.

 

So some advice: If you are math-phobic, and

don't need a real degree, try theology ;-).

No, no, Kathleen. *I* am the biggest b**** in

the Bay Area. Ask my kids. I was once voted

" Meanest Mom on the block, but makes great

cookies " . (That was in Salinas.)

 

Ask my staff. (Colleagues transfer people to me

so I can fire 'em.)

 

I am a flaming introvert, with reasonable

extrovert skills (I fell into this training

career when the ex-DH refused to pay child

support and it was the ONLY job I could get 22

years ago where I could manage with only

irregular moonlighting to support 3 kids alone).

So now I manage 50 people who work hard not to

make me cranky!

 

Actually, the really competent ones love me, cuz

I leave them alone to excel and get them lots of

rewards. The ones with potential love me cuz

I'll coach 'em. The incompetent ones hate, and

even sue, me cuz I take away their right to have

a cushy job without producing worthwhile results.

 

 

All this is, of course, IMVVHO.

 

The theology degree? I didn't have to take math,

and could excuse my refusal to do linear theology

or linear anything (the German stuff) and other

weirdness by cultivating a reputation as a

mystic.

 

I had almost flunked my high school freshman

algebra course - the teacher had been my

next-door neighbor and despised my brother and

me. He threw chalk at me and made fun of me.

Boy, did I love school that year! And can't

imagine why I refused to ever take another math

class! I guess, after 30 years, I could get

over it, eh?

 

Oh, oh, and if I only knew then about the powers

of rosemary as a study aid!! (Like how I brought

that on-topic??)
