Delusions of Grandeur

I needed to keep track of all the training I've received at work - and other educational pursuits - to put together a list that screams 'A.D.D.' But damn I'm trained and educated up the wazoo. No wonder I've been feeling underutilized lately:

My Peace Corps training group also voted me as "Most Likely to be the Benevolent Ruler of a Third World Nation." All this plus ten years of blogging and new media experience, and they still won't let me start a Twitter account for the agency to notify the public of what's goin' on. Go figure.
