It's Friday. You Ain't Got No Job

Didn’t they already make this movie?

It’s Friday. My second to last Friday here in my current job. I am really going to miss how cush this place is. Our generous vacation time and made up holidays. Our post office, medical center, cafeteria and convienience store. Coming to work and walking through exhibits and galleries. Sigh. I will never have bosses and coworkers this great again, I’m 99% sure of it.

For a moment last night I felt like I didn’t even want to work in this field anymore. I don’t want to play.

I’ll not LIKE you anyMORE.

Ugh. I should have stayed in Real Estate. Except for my discomfort with selling things. This was my M.O. ...

We’re standing in the front yard.

lady: “Can you hear the trains from here?”

me: “Sometimes, if the wind is right. Don’t you like the sound of trains?”

The lady makes a face. I don’t like her anymore but must not let her know this.

Oh well. I have wanted to be so much. Like, I can or could once completely visualize doing the following: G.O. (work at Club Med as a silk painting teacher and windsurfing instructor), Writer of children’s books and smut novellas, Real Estate Agent, Editor, Librarian, Researcher, Surgeon, Sharp Shooter (special ops), Physicist, and Web Programmer.

I think I’d also like to be a ballerina and a cowgirl when I grow up.

  1. Yes, they have made that movie as well as “The Last Samurai”. I believe it was called “Dances With Wolves”!

  5. Ha ha I wanted to be a plumber when I was five.  I went around wearing a Winnie-the-Pooh apron and carrying a plunger.

  7. For a while I really thought I could be an Olympic gymnast.  Not that I was training or anything, but I thought about for a while.

  8. Funny, when I was 12, I really thought I had a shot at becoming a pro tennis player and grow up to be just like Jennifer Capriati.  Funny.

  11. Yup, I went to school at Marquette University in Milwaukee.  You got it right.

    The “funniness” (I guess) of it is that I wanted to go to a 4-year university (which I actually DID end up going to that school) to be a waitress, out of all things.

  15. Who didn’t want to be a ballerina?  My sister really was.  She danced for the Royal Ballet in London until she hurt back so severely she couldn’t dance professionally anymore.  I was soo envious of her when I was little.

  18. I was a an expert rifleman in the USMC (sharpshooter is actually second rate, followed by marksman . . . go figure).  Never fired at anything other than paper.  One of those jobs you find it hard to believe you get paid for! (I guess that sentiment might be different in the real world-combat)
