I'm here and here I stay. I was in the top 3 but didn't make it to the final 1. My applying for another job that is. I'm okay with that because I really do like it here, the other job related to something I used to work on with government grants and funding. The position was a full time specialist which I have the training for but so did a couple of other people apparently. There aren't many other places I would like to go, for one thing I hate starting over and for another I like what I do and who I work with. I would enjoy the other job also and it comes with about the same pay but with benefits that I don't have here. Luckily my husband has good benefits but I would enjoy a contributed 401k, life insurance, paid holidays, paid sick leave... well anything paid ya know. On the up side, I don't have to start over and be the new girl right now.
I still don't know what my dream job is. Sometimes I think I would like it to be one where I could sleep in but I know me and I know that I would just become lazy. I would like one that gave me a little activity aside from swivelling left and right in my chair and turning 180 degrees to look at my co-worker when I talk to her. Sometimes I think I would like to work part time, only 3 days a week, actually that would be nice wouldn't it? I used to work in a pub (that was a long time ago), my nights and days were backwards, it was fun for a while but it wears you out and makes it hard to function sometimes as a parent. For a while I thought it would be nice to have a part time day/office job and waitress a couple nights a week to stay in shape. Shouldn't someone pay me to stay in shape? Why the heck not? The truth is, I don't have a clue what I want to be when I grow up. Retired with money is my ultimate goal, I wish there was a shortcut.
Question:
1. What is your ideal dream job?
Answer: If I only knew. Perhaps a professional wine taster.

I got your perfect job C. A part time professional basketball scout with the LA Lakers, A PR lady for the Rap industry and mattress tester for Sleep Eze. What do ya think?
That seems like a tight schedule SH, I thought you wanted me to come and manage your office? I would love to scout basketball players, or even stalk them. PR? I'm a bit shy for that but maybe. Mattress tester, that really is right up my alley huh. I do need a nap ya know.

I think I am doing mine at the moment... giving backstage tours around the National Theatre in London and watching all the plays there for free!
I dunno how to set up a blog C, I'm dumber'n a box of hammers huh? My son's comin' up from Atlanta today. He says you can program a computer to do anything! I'm gonna get him to program mine to cut the grass and sit and listen to Da Moose while she biotches about me drinkin' and smokin' and stuff!
That's perfect Newbie. I think it's just in my personality to always want more but I just always get different. I am happy with what I'm doing now, I guess I have to try everything I can once. That would be wonderful working around the theater and having the chance to see the performances.
