Not fair! I feel left out I don't see schizphrenic, paranoid delusional, hyperactive, coffee junkie in there anywhere! Boo!
I still remember my guidance counselor asking me what I wanted to do with my life.
I told her "I'd like to be an obsessive dyslexic fatass who stays up all night getting drunk and eating hot pockets."
Wow cool, I'm really not alone in the world..I have found a home with fellow dysfuctionals..(tear)
Ha
SEOing your own web properties becomes very enticing after watching how well you can perform for your clients.
I've got all of those...except overweight and dyslexic. Yes, I'm even left handed.
This post is scary - 8/10 for me, not left handed or over weight. I don't know if I am officially dislexic, but i sure as hell make a lot of typos on IM. I have been obsessive all of my life, addictive personality my dad says. Finishing tasks - I started work on my very basic new website last October, still not finished. I did O.K. in school 5 c's at GCSE, but I am defnitely an under achiever, I dropped out of college after less then 5 months because I had coursework due. I had over 20 different jobs before I settled down as an SEO, I was sacked from serveral. It is 6.15 am here in the UK, I have been up since 3. I like my vodka. Odd - yep. My diet consists mainly of meat and potatoe pie, sausage, bacon and egg and pizza.
Any one say insomnia, compulsive, scifi fan? well... is all of the above... to an extent except for the left hand thing....
1. Are SEOs really dyslexic? Or are they just targetting misspelled keywords?
2. I'm a righty, but use a knife and fork like a southpaw. Does that count?
3. Obsessive? Yeah alright, you've got me there.
4. If I can't finish a task it's usually because I've found something more interesting/rewarding to do. Or seen something shiny.
5. Well, I dropped out of Uni after the second year of an architecture degree, so yeah, tick that box.
6. Hopeless at being an employee? You sound like my old boss.
7. Work-work during the day, more SEO-work at night, so yeah.
8. I can't remember the last time I got drunk. (Insert punchline here)
9. I was a fat kid, but skinny as a rake now.
10. Odd? Wibble.
11. If coffee and cigarettes for breakfast counts as a bad diet, then yeah.
Hmm, 7 definites, with a couple that could go either way. Still, I'm only just starting out, so I suppose there's still time to tick the rest of the boxes.
I agree with you in my case also except on 3 points
dyslexics - dyspraxic. close enough?
left handed - yep
obsessive - only about the important stuff. it is just that others often disagree about what is important ;)
can’t finish a task - it isn't that I can't finish, its just many projects are still mid-analysis. they'll get one day. probably. hopefully
school sucked - yep. Uni wasn't a lot better. Stopped when I realised my Psychology and Computing degree was really a PSYCHOLOGY (& little bit of computing) degree.
gladly let bosses know exactly how and why they suck - yep
night owls - daytime planning, night time working, dawn sleeping
heavy drinkers - I don't touch beer, cider, whiskey, lager, gin etc. I'm assuming vodka, water, juice, vodka, coke and vodka are ok? ;)
over weight - I certainly don't feel the cold, come winter time...
odd - ?
bad diets - only if I'm cooking. My wife cooks good meals, I only cook when the food comes in a nice box telling me how long to cook at what temperature. I can co-ordinate 5/6 items to all finish at the same time, with correct tweaking of original minutes & temperatures; however I don't know how long to boil pasta, fry meat or bake potatoes...
Final score - 8 or 9/10, with a ? on odd...
