I want a new job with benefits. Health insurance, you ask? Pish-posh. I want the benefits like the right to a daily shower with hot water, whether I need one or not. I want to be able to sleep a full 6 hours at night without being awakened 20 minutes before the alarm clock goes off to be asked, “What time is it?” I want to be able to have a “lunch break” where I can actually get more than one forkful of food into my mouth before someone else asks me to serve them seconds. I want it all.
I’m thinking that a career in firefighting might be a good choice for me. I got tons of training in how to get people someplace safely in record speeds by being told 12 minutes before soccer practice starts that I was unknowingly volunteered to drive the carpool. I’m also pretty good with bandaids and antiseptic, so maybe I could train to be an EMT. I break up fist fights between teenage boys at least three times a day. Perhaps an official on a nuclear disarmament team? Peace talks? Referee for a football club in Liverpool? Or maybe rodeo clown…but clowns creep me out.

Oh, and check out my friend, Nuala Reilly’s webpage for great reading material at this LINK. She’s awesome.
You know what… my best job was a chicken slaughter for a local farm. I could let out my aggression, Shower And bring home dinner. (granted we did get tired of chicken) but turkey season was awesome. lol
