Things you do but can't really put down

[dufflover]

I'm not really sure if you'd call it a hobby (the point is though it's something you're happy to put time into), but I like doing "simple multimedia" stuff like taking existing images and turning them into...well...whatever I need them for, like desktop themes/icons, wallpapers, custom CD/DVD labels, cropping/editing for Pazaak menu backgrounds, etc.

But the problem is that I'm not very advanced at it like some movie studio or photo touchup person, nor am I an artist who draws anything (pen or computer).

So what could you call this...if anything?

 

Similarly, I like planning/building games a lot like building houses in Sims 2, or a transport network in Transport Tycoon, or even just how I organise my desk at home .

 

I guess my vocabulary isn't very big to include BS excuse words like "Custodial Engineer" (janitor)

It's been a long time since I've written a resume, but I'd probably call that a 'working knowledge of (insert graphic program you use here).'

 

Something along those lines, anyway - except with a more spiffy sounding spin I guess? Graphic image editor in your spare time?

The one thing I wish I could put down on my resume is...

 

I can hold my right foot with my left hand in front of me and jump through it with my left leg. I can also do it holding the opposite foot. I'd like to thank Kid n' Play for this talent.

I CAN DO THAT TOO! I can also lay flat on the ground on my back, and then lift my lower body and kick up landing on my feet! :cool:

It's a hobby / interest, so (unless you are trying to pitch for a film editor's job) you can just be honest. Multimedia editing for a hobby.

Similarly, I like planning/building games a lot like building houses in Sims 2, or a transport network in Transport Tycoon, or even just how I organise my desk at home  .

That's organisational / structural modelling. Just like someone who builds working models of aircraft, only your modelling (a building, a basic ecosystem, whatever) in a virtual environment.

No need to ... employers will either:

1. notice it and ask you wtf?
   
2. notice it and decide that you are hiding something;
   
3. ignore it because they have already decided to hire/pass on you based on the first few paragraphs of your curriculum vitae

I learnt it for a bit too... crap instrument. As long as you weren't abused with it Baley it can't have been that bad.

The trouble with the recorder is it's way to advanced for novice musicians. A C scale flageolet is far more appropriate.

Yesterday I met a woman who could put her ankles behind her head... I asked her to marry me, but she refused.

I give excellent oral sex...

I feel the workplace is far too segregated. More men should be allowed to sleep their way to the top.

In that case, I wouldn't mind working with Vicky Lloyd.
