Police rebuff Bush protesters PORTLAND, Oregon (CNN) -- As President Bush travels to a series of campaign stops in California on Friday, he leaves behind the aftermath of protest that turned violent on Thursday in Portland, Oregon.
Friday Five
1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not?
Registration coordinator for the grad school at my university. At this point in my life, I'll take it. It's got plenty of opportunites to advance and it's more money than I thought I'd be making with degrees in anthropology, philosophy and religious studies. I've got my foot in the door and when I finally get that masters I'll be working at both the administrative and faculty level - so while it's not what I intended when I first started out - I'm happy with where I am.
2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
I'd be a full-time writer - both fiction and non-fiction. I hope to be writing articles for journals soon as well.
3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?
My mother is an accountant/bookkeeper and my dad was a foreman for the steele industry before steele died in the US. Neither of them influenced my career - except maybe to get out of my hometown because it was dead.
4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
No - I've not wanted a family so far, but if I did I'm in an ideal place to start one and not worry about my job or school.
5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
There's no answer to this question - there are many jobs out there that seem easy and are really tough and vice versa - this type of thing depends a lot on the envirement and co-workers/bosses/etc. . . That said, I think the easiest job in the world is to be a director at a university. Apparently the requirement is to know absolutely nothing about the university policies and to give into student demands when faced with any sort of conflict. Directors are the "France" of universities. Toughest job is probably to be an activist - the person faces the wrath of the State and is at risk 24/7 of losing their civil liberties.
