Internet Island Topic Post #33: Working, Playing, and Living

I’ve mentioned this before. As the months pass, it gets incredibly difficult not repeating myself. I’ve done it slyly, and done it without realizing it. However, I really like my idea for this month’s topic, don’t think I’ve seen these topics before, and I’m deliberately trying not to “ask questions”. Xanga is overwhelmed with questions these days. The purpose of the prompts here on Internet Island have always been to spark the imagination, and hopefully serve as a jumping off point for visiting other blogs you might not have noticed before and developing new friendships. Last month, I took some of the Islanders’ advice and listed only one topic with three subtopics. Three is a nice round number. (That’s an intended joke for any of you mathematicians out there.) The topic generated a lot of response. I also want to try and time these so they don’t fall on dates when Featured Grownups and Kween of the Queens post topics, cause a lot of us are members of all three blogrings. Well, without further ado, here are this month’s three subtopics:

33.1 Working

33.2 Playing

Take a Chance: I’m not talkin’ about Vegas. Chances are you’ve taken a big chance sometime in your life, be it short or long, and when you decided to take that chance, something told you there was a very large risk involved, yet you took the chance anyway, and lived to tell the tale. Tell it to us.

33.3 Living

Life Resume: I’m sure we all know that the term resume usually refers to a document listing our qualifications when we apply for a new job or position. What would your “resume” for life look like. List your qualifications for being yourself, on or off the job, in business, social circles, or alone. Apply for the job of being yourself.
You can write however and whatever you please, of course, but here are some resume guidelines if you’d like.

The main parts of a resume are:
Objectives, achievements, experience, education, skills, and of course the requisite “references available upon request.” Free resume format from about.com:

The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the posting period.  If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well.
