Copy That

I want to be a private investigator. I decided that last night. Actually I've thought about it before when I've been investigating something on my own, but didn't think that was the line of work I wanted to pursue at the time. I've been watching a lot of White Collar on USA, and besides having an unbelievabley attractive main character, its always lively and interesting. Of course, most fans of shows like CSI or Law and Order want a piece of the game, at some point. But really, do they have the skills like I do? I'm good at snooping around, being stealthy and keeping my presence to a minimum, picking up on tiny details and connecting them to situations and people, and using crafty ways to get into places or extracting information from my peers. I never let an investigation go until I have checked all the possible outcomes to find the solution, I can take on different personas and blend into any crowd, and my ethics can be bent now and then. I also have a very sharp memory that applies to all senses and can be triggered at any moment; one might call it photographic. So all of these points combined adds up to my new life calling - being a spy. I would much rather be tailing a suspect or taking on another identity to extract some vital information than driving to work and sitting in an office. Granted, I get to do some research and investigation of confidential matters in my current position, but could you imagine the real thing? Well, I could never be an FBI special agent; I already checked into that. My vision is horrible without corrective lenses, and I have a condition that could at some point hinder my performance. Outside of that, I wonder where one might become a secret agent spy, besides learning by oneself. Maybe I could just be a clerk in the FBI and eventually have an agent fall in love with me. That might be more plausible, though probably not as fun.
