[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lucia (Lucy) [/quote] [b]You are naturally thin and love to wear high heels[/b], but feel conspicuous if you do so, so you [b]wear mainly flats[/b]. [b]You live [/b]in DC [b]close to a metro[/b]. [b]You had Lucy when you were between 35-37.[/b] [b] You attended prenatal yoga classes and childbirth education classes. [/b] You work in middle management in an international development organization after getting your MPH (this was after a stint in the peace corps) and your DH is GS-14 at one of the agencies, bringing your joint HHI to just around $200k. Against your better judgment, you will have a second child (Henry), and you will decide to quit your job because DH's pays more and you were frankly bored of reviewing program plans and grant proposals at work, but you didn't want to take on the international travel needed to move up. But this will be a mistake, because staying at home with two kids is more taxing that you thought, and DH doesn't pitch in as much as he should. After the kids are in elementary school you will try to go back to work, but it will be difficult to find a job because your professional connections have grown stale. So you stay home and move out to the suburbs around time for middle school. You join the PTA. A scandal arises regarding arsenic-tainted soil on the local playing field. You lead the charge against the coverup perpetrated by the county and the school district, demanding accountability. Reinvigorated, you leverage your new connections to a position on the local city council. You realize you still have great legs for a 40-something, so you start wearing heels again and putting your hair up. After turning around the city's woeful budgetary status and skillfully navigating between business development and environmental interests, you capture the attention of local Democratic representatives, who ask you to run for state assembly. To your surprise, you win. You spend the next ten years building on your reputation as an environmentalist sensitive to business needs who can balance the need for development with the need to protect the wildlife. At the end of your three terms in office, facing Lucy and Henry's college tuition bills, you go to work for a K street consulting firm lobbying for giant oil companies, where you leverage your environmental credibility to water down environmental reforms, and become rich. You then retire to Aspen. THE END. [/quote] Very impressive! [/quote]
