Just Wishing & Hoping & Thinking & Praying
I guess it's safe to say I'm mildly obsessed with work right now. By "mildly" I mean "totally." And by work I mean some other job than the one I actually have because it is sure to be more lucrative, glamorous, and down right rewarding. So, I've complied the following list of well-I'll-be-ain't-that-the-darndest-thing jobs. And because I want to savor the dirty shenanigans I imagine these "professions" entail, I'm only including the job titles. Ready, set, GO:
Muppet stunt coordinator
Laughter therapist
Master sniffer
Taffy Puller
Chicken sexer
Wrinkle Chaser
Cowpuncher
Brain picker
Fantasy broker
Queen producer
Upsetter
Hooker Inspector
Rubbish Auditor
For the record, any job that involves muppets instantly earns my seal of approval. Brains? Not so much.

Clean out Vivienne Westwood in My Galliano Gown
I'm not one for writing multiple posts in a single day. But I almost passed out reading this.
Kid, you're making me look bad.
Kid, you're making me look bad.
I'm a Loser Baby so Why Don't You Kill Me
It's official. I am pathetic.
The very first job that catches my eye this morning highlights all that is wrong with my life. I was blind but now I see. And, frankly, I want to be blind again.
WANTED: Admin Assistant for Publishing Co - 35k
That is an annual salary of $35,000 to start which is only $6000 less than what I earn. Correction: I mean earned prior to the total screw that shall not be named. $35,000. To. Start.
I have a Master's Degree. I have YEARS of experience. And I am barely making more money than an assistant? Seriously?
I suppose I should thank Craigslist for my opening eyes. But I really just want to punch it instead.

My Man Wants To Potty All The Time
Imagine my horror to come home and find my husband reading this on the Internet. The man had NOTHING better to do then read an article about a potty training boot camp!?! Oh how the mighty have fallen.
But just so he doesn't feel like I'm a disinterested, know-it-all, I read the article too. Low and behold, I find this is yet another missed career opportunity. It seems the Potty Whisper charges $250 for a session which means if she works with ten toddlers a week she pulls in a cool $2500. Well done, Potty Whisper, well done. I have GOT to figure out how to put my natural talents to work and get a gig like this.
