What would you say it is that you do here?
Yo, no more Appreciation Weeks for a while. Ladies Appreciation Week and People Appreciation Week have passed. It is nice to do something like that because it gives my blog a theme. Something this wonderful blog of mine lacks. I guess that's not surprising considering my life lacks direction too.
I will be 32 in a couple months and the only skills I have are swimming, speaks French, typing, the ability to make some people laugh, and a Masters in AltTabing. This is me going against the grain. (I told myself I wouldn't blog about work, but it's on vague terms.) I get the feeling it's time for me to move on and shake either this desk job or all of them completely. Six years ago I told myself no more food service jobs. Now I feel like my ship has sailed as far as office jobs go. I love writing this blog and all, but I apparently I have too much time on my hands especially if I get excited about the number of comments on my blog. I am giving myself this entire year to try and figure out if I need to go back to school, start my own business, or just a general career path change. There's got to be a job out there for me that will challenge me and allow me to be my oddball self. Below are some jobs I thought would be perfect for me over the years.
*sport mascot: like the San Diego chicken or Mariner Moose
*voiceover work for tv or radio: cartoons or animal noises
*small business owner: restaurant or map/travel store
*guide: lead tours of France
*National Park Ranger: forestry days
*French teacher
*a John: no need to explain
*professional baseball player: after making all-star team when I was 13
*a model: naive young college days and yes I have a cheesy portfolio
*an actor: naive young college days, but I would be one dimensional like the tilted head guy in The O.C.
*talk show host
*self-made millionaire by creating cool gadgets sold only on late night tv
*work for Lego somehow
Update: new locker combo to memorize. 9-39-29. It's a rather easy one to commit to memory. Some dude at the gym freaked me out stating my current lock is easy to vandalize. That would suck if that happened because I would hate for anyone to find my porn stash and throwing stars, a.k.a. my crime fighting kit. I can't leave them at home so they travel with me. Yeah, the gym may be inappropriate, but it makes for some great conversation with my gym pals and gives me a larger amount of personal space.
