10 Reasons Why NASA Would Never Hire Me

  • I have a hard time doing basic math sometimes.
  • I don’t do precise measurements. I eyeball everything instead.
  • The thought of going into space gives me nightmares.
  • I’d insist their shuttles and satellites “look pretty” instead of be functional.
  • I’ve never worked with Linux before. Plus, command line stuff scares me.
  • I can code, to a degree, but I’m not a technical person.
  • In high school it was a struggle to maintain a B in my science classes. Don’t ask me about my high school Geometry grade…
  • I’m too much of a smart ass. (“Shit, the rocket blew up.” “WHAT?” “PSYCHE!”).
  • I’d never make it past the physical endurance training and tests. I’m too much of a sloth.
  • I like stuff blowing up too much.

How Frumpy Middle-Aged Women are Like Washed Up Rock Stars

Random conversation between Mack and I as we drove to the airport. I’m sure this will offend someone, but have a sense of humor at the stereotypes.

  • Frizzy hair due to a lifetime spent dying, curling, and otherwise damaging their hair.
  • Messy, smeared make-up reminiscent of their glory days.
  • Desperate need to be accepted and loved.
  • Wish to be back in their glory youth and often act as though they were still in their twenties.
  • Spandex.
  • Surrounded by some sort of groupies (cats or management staff) who are there as their “yes men”.
  • Loud and obnoxious so that they are the center of attention.
  • Wild, starved look in their eyes.

Lies my brothers convinced me were true

Though they might deny it. Here are only a few of the whoppers I believed when I was younger:

  • Smokey (the cat) would walk down to the grocery store, take off his fur, and smoke crack.
  • Before I was born, Noah put on his super-man cape and tried “flying” and fell into the bushes. It was claimed our parents couldn’t find him for three days.
  • The family that was walking towards our hotel room in Vermont was going to steal said hotel room thus I had to hide under the bed.
  • The parents found (name of sibling here) in a dumpster.
  • Mom ran away and joined the circus to escape me.
  • The raccoon on the roof was going to break through the glass window and murder me if I fell asleep.
  • Freddy Krueger was going to get me when I sleep.
  • That I wouldn’t get in trouble when Adam positioned me in front of Noah’s room with my middle finger raised.
  • No Doubt wrote “Just a Girl” about Noah.
