Embracing the Lister Within

So, I've always been a list maker. It is true. However, this is a truth I've only recently come to accept. And by accept I mean, actually let myself use to help me remember to do things and increase my productivity. But the funny thing is, despite this being a recent sort of self revelation, I've been making lists forever.

Recently, I was going through and organizing my old notebooks (deciding what should be kept and what should just be chucked) and I came across several lists that I'd written over the last few years.

Here's one that I found most entertaining: my rather eclectic job history. (Sadly, I haven't got any pictures to spice it up) But you may learn something you didn't know previously:

Huh. I tried applying at a DQ once for summer work. They told me that training me would cost too much for such a short time. Is it really that complicated? This is a fabulous list. I also notice that there's a bit of a list on the bottom of of the Story of Sylvester.
