I have to pick a dream job
 
WorkingArrangements says I have to come up with a dream job next time I come in - despite having no dream job, and any 'dream job' would be highly unrealistic considering a general lack of abilities or skills or education or the intelligence or motivation or dedication that'd be required for anything not mundane.
And then we're going to just magically get me into it apparently.

Seem to have very strange idea that regardless of being actually able to do something or not I'm supposed to just go out and do some random job and hey presto I'm a master at it; or the always infuriating 'you'll work your way up!' a concept I fail to grasp and no one seems to be able to explain.
And to what exactly, senior fruit picker?

I shouldn't have jumped the gun.

You're Australian. Make it your life's mission to kick the shit out of Ricky Ponting. I will personally transport a prize from the prize trolley to you if you do.

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.
Samir: So what did you say?
Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.
Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.
Samir: You know what I would do if I had a million dollars? I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...
Michael Bolton: Samir, you're missing the point. The point of the exercise is that you're supposed to figure out what you would want to do if...

Michael Bolton: "PC Load Letter"? What the fuck does that mean?

tell them that you want their job.

be sure to tell them that you don't want to do what they do, you just really want their specific job.

good luck and godspeed.

Glice 10.06.2009 02:05 PM

Ha. Some things just stick, especially in relation to the Aussies. Which is obviously a backhanded compliment, because I can't be bothered to dislike SA that much.

I'll probably never forgive Pakistan either mind you.

Edit: directed towards the big quasar.

i would not want to deal drugs for a living....way too stressful. but working at a record store would be ideal, of course.

My ideal job would be "community organizer"...as vague and retardly idealistic as that sounds.

You should go full-time. It is silly to break a law for such petty incentives as to smoke for free, which what most 'part-time' weed dealers do.. if you are just smoking for free why risk getting busted? Selling is selling, go hard or go home! ".. his last breath a lesson I straight possess like jewels stay thugged out keep it movin'.."

Up yo game or jump up out the game, before the game jumps up on you.. ;)
