Metier

métier

\ met-YAY; MET-yay \  , noun;

1.An occupation; a profession.

2.An area in which one excels; an occupation for which one is especially well suited.

 

The sad truth about life is that our metier is never what we wish it to be. One might hope to be an astronaut, a Scientist, or a professional athlete, but usually ends up as a janitor, and not even a good one at that. We can assume God has a sense of humor so long as we accept that sometimes we are the butt of the joke.
