I’m hoping to leave my current job in January if things don’t improve, which I’m sure they won’t because bad jobs usually don’t. This is a secret plan, so I don’t actually have to find a new job, I could just stick with the crap one I have if I don’t find something better.
Although it’s generally not in my nature, I’ve decided to experiment with the idea of extreme optimism by contacting any company or organization I can think of and inquiring about positions that would be way over the top dream jobs for me. Even if they don’t really exist or they do exist but are not open at this time.
I know it’s weird, but just thinking up the idea today made me feel better about my current situation so I’m going for it.
I’d love any ideas to add to my list, here’s what I have so far:
Personal Assistant to Mr. Clooney
House Manager at Carnegie Hall
Receptionist at The White House
Shoe Department Buyer for Barney’s New York
Tour Manager for The Rolling Stones
Ice Cream Taster, Ben & Jerry’s
Staff writer for a tabloid Magazine
English Only Tour guide at the Louvre
Wardrobe Fitter on Hawaii Five-O
