In which i have no “cup of tea”
I was hanging out this morning (Saturday that is) and talking to Kevin when he informed me that he had to go into work. Now, lately this has been the norm but still, I wanted to ask him about it.
Me: what do you have to do there?
Kevin: I have about 10 projects going on
Me: perhaps I could help
Kevin: doubtful
Me: tell me about one of the projects
So Kevin launches into this explanation about conveyors and how he’s basically drawing up a flow chart of where pieces of wood go to which equipment system and how once he has it all drawn up he has to do all the engineering for it and then give it to the programmers to program.
Me: oh
Kevin: so what do you think?
Me: I don’t really think that’s “my cup of tea”
Kevin: your “cup of tea?”
Me: yeah, when I used to have to do flow charts I would do the program and then when I had figured it out and I was done then I’d do the flow chart
Kevin: you were probably that person who wrote down the outline after you wrote the paper
Me: basically
Kevin: so Lynn, what do you think your “cup of tea” is?
Me: hmmm… I’m not sure if I actually have a “cup of tea”
Kevin: so you’re basically unemployable and useless which we knew
Me: well I’m really good at some things
Kevin: … for example?
Me: I’m amazing at pep talks and I’m really good at dealing with medical situations
Kevin: yeah … not sure that’s a job description
Me: I can do certain aspects of a lot of jobs
Kevin: also not really helpful
Me: well, I suppose it’s good that you can do your own job without my help then
Kevin: yes, I agree
So there you are! I have absolutely NO CUP OF TEA? How about you guys? What’s your “cup of tea?”

Hmmm…writing things and making terrible drawings to go along with them (aka my blog)
Mayor Gia recently posted..History of the Gettysburg Address
Hmmm, what’s my cup of tea? Can I replace the tea with wine?
You are a “Jill-of-all trades, Master-of-none” just like me!
I have absolutely no cup of tea or life to speak of!
So you get a job giving pep talks (yes people get employed that way) specifically about raising a kid with Asperger’s. You. Will. Be. Rich. And fast.
Hahaha…pep talks ARE my speciality
So a pile of finished canvases
how about a simple facebook page of Lynn’s Gallery (put Link on daily blog)
You have a large room with great light — setup a camera station and photograph them all
EVERY weekday load one photo of a painting (sign the paintings if you haven’t)
label photo with title (ok you could name them “painting one” etc over thinking isn’t a requirement)
put a price on it (if you don’t know how to figure this out I know of a formula for this)
DO NOT frame them or if you do, set it as an extra charge — a lot of people want to frame in their own style AND w/o a frame shipping is less.
Make sure you make the shipping the responsibility of the buyer (remember this is what ebay does) — setup with a local shipping/mailing shop
Don’t think again about this –except to get all the canvases uploaded — then months later when you have a painting that hasn’t sold donate to a charity auction
You are enough of a blog celebrity to expect a following
You will sell some
And remember keep it SIMPLE
Wow…what a great comment. I think I’ll try that…and “blog celebrity???” hahahahahaha
My cup of tea is telling jokes and getting people off topic. Seriously, if there’s a boring board meeting or brunch, I’m a perfect remedy.
Other than that, I fall down a lot. So, I’d say that I’m a “Professional Tester of Gravity.”
