I try really hard to keep from making this a totally complaining blog for a few reasons:
1) Who likes a Debbie Downer?
2) What I would like to complain about could be read by someone and get me in trouble, especially when it pertains to my job
However, this week, apart from The Stellar Boss (aka Dad) and the fact that we think alike, this week at work has been H-E-double hockey sticks. My other boss who shall remain nickname-less… well, he sucks. That’s the best way to explain it. And I know I have a great job, great benefits, so much future potential and oddly while I was in Houston I discovered I’m much more passionate about our little family business than I thought so I doubt I’ll leave.
But on weeks like this I dream of the jobs I wish I had. Here they are:
* Full-time Nanny. I don’t care if it’s for a famous baseball player or for my favorite kid (Little Man). I love kids, I love the jobs involved with it, I love being a nanny.
* Wedding Planner. Seriously. I know that being a bridesmaid seven times doesn’t qualify you to plan weddings, but I’ve learned a lot. And apart from the day you have a kid, it seems this is the right up there in the top five best days of your life so aside from the bridezillas and stress, it would be great to have a job revolving around love.
* Dog Shelter Owner. It would probably have to be a dog shelter farm or something as I would never, ever put a dog to sleep but as much as I love kids, I love dogs too. They deserve love, nurturing, a comfy couch and a good home.
* Cruise Ship Director. It’s the event planner in me. I don’t see anything wrong with being on a boat, with the ocean surrounding you, traveling from one palm tree filled destination to the next. Maybe the small quarters and constant boat rocking, but I could handle that.
* Personal Shopper. Combining two interests: clothes + people. Enough said.
* My reach dream job: Press Secretary for the White House. When I was hooked on The West Wing, I envied Alison Janney. I wanted to be her.
* My reach dream job #2: lobbyist for a non-profit group serving children.
* Date planner/matchmaker. While there are a fair amount of dating services, they don’t tell you what do after you get the date. Where to go, what to do, appropriate attire, presents (if applicable) and etc. I have assisted many of my guy friends in planning dates going so far as to make the reservations for them mostly because they are clueless.
I suppose that if I decide to jump ship, several of those jobs are within my reach. I guess it’s all about taking a leap of faith and going for it…
What would you do if you could have any job you wanted?
