"One Thousand Days of Procrastination" by purplepeggie
After reading the fifth question on the career quiz, Line realizes that this is not going well. "From a scale of 'strongly dislike' to 'strongly like', rate your affinity for building kitchen cabinets." She circles 'strongly dislike' and moves her pencil down to the next item, then pauses. Yes, she knows next to nothing about carpentry, but it sounds decent... in theory. Building things with her own two paws, good honest work. But does liking the concept count as "having an affinity"? She circles 'neutral' and moves to the next item. "From a scale of 'strongly dislike' to 'strongly like', rate your affinity for studying ways to reduce water pollution." Line circles 'dislike', then feels guilty. If someone had to do it and no one else wanted to, she'd volunteer to do it, wouldn't she? Maybe it'd be fun, charting the turbidity of Terror Mountain's bodies of water. She erases 'dislike' and circles 'neutral'. The Chocolate Vandagyre scans the answers she's put down so far. Of the six items she's circled, all of them are 'neutral' except 'buy and sell stocks and bonds', for which she's put 'dislike'. She tries not to dwell on that for too long, afraid that she might change that answer, too. Line sinks her head onto her paw. What kind of career can the school suggest for her if the only thing they know about her — the only thing she knows about herself — is that she doesn't want the life of Nigel the Chia? "Ten minutes left, everyone!" Mrs. Lupern calls out.
