[Ansteorra] opinion

[Tina Michael]

  You never can tell when it will come in handy.

  When I interviewed with my current employer I had mentioned that I was a
part of a historical reenactment group and that I made costumes and waas an
accomplished seamstress and that was one of the reasons I was so detail
oriented. Little did I know the woman I was interviewing with also was an
accomplished seamstress and made very intricate quilts in her spare time
away from work. We had a nice chat about projects we had in the wings and I
got the job.
