someone telling me what to do. My weakness is probably that I do not
like to leave things unfinished, and have a hard time moving on when
things are left undecided.

when my daughter is out on her own (she is only 2 and 1/2 now) I want
to be able start a business of my own, pertaining to either baking or
aquariums (my two biggest passions). I do not think I would need
extensive training. I'm already very familiar with computers and
Microsoft Office applications, and I'm a very fast learner. I would
describe myself as a very laid-back person who is easy to get along
with, who is also very persistant when I know what I want.

a little, and I actually have a text book to help me do that (I took
a college course for Microcomputer Applications, passing with an A).
I understand about privacy and code of conduct, that certain things
are not to be discussed outside of work. I do not know my typing
speed but I would say I am a fairly fast typer.
