T.W.O.
I'm a rock star right now.
I'm not going to go as far to say these are dream jobs, maybe not even the best choices for a career, but jobs. In my field. Which I think at this point with the company closing and all is good enough for the time being.
One of them is actually a part-time sales job...I would be an independent rep (which is fine because all of my health benefits are covered by PH anyway), create my own hours (a plus so I can hang out with my Tiger more), BUT it's less money. 50% less to be exact...HOWEVER...my life has a different set of priorities than it used to. I can't believe I'm saying this, but making less money, but having a higher quality of life (not traveling, more time with Tiger) is worth it to me. I believe it's a fair trade off.
If, however, the part time opportunity is really a waste of time and I won't be making shit for my efforts, and I have to get a full time job, I want it to be a good career move, not just another job.
And we all know the difference between a career and a job.
I've put some long hours in trying to decide what would be the best move for me. Here are some of the options I've come up with:
Chef
Pros
Doing something I love
Get to buy kick ass knives
Excuse to eat all day
necessary visits to local farmers markets
Cons
No experience
no schooling
All nights and weekend
possibility of losing a finger with said knives
Secret Agent
Pros
Make LOTS of money
Have the ability to kill someone with my bare hands
Kick ass weapons
International travel
Cons
work nights
constant lying
guilty conscience
IT Person
Pros
High demand job
solid pay
reasonable hours
spy on other employees Internet use
stare at all the online porn I can imagine without worry about getting caught
Cons
Don't speak java developer, SAP, Oracle, .Net, CSS, etc...
Don't speak Hindi
I'm not a Mac or a PC
no patience for stupid people
Professional Blogger
Pros
Already have a blog with domain name and everything
Cons
Um...that means I would actually have to blog again.
Ugh! I hate looking for a new job. At least I can rock a Lady Gaga.
Maybe she'll hire me as a double.
**which could fit in the category of Spy...maybe secret agent.

That Lady Gaga costume is kick ass!
I'm right there with you on the job hunt. I'm so bored w/ my job but job searching is the WORST. So I'll probably just end up staying here and sucking it up. Blah.
I CAN believe your trade off for a better quality of life and spending more time with Tiger...spending time with your baby is the most precious thing in the world, isn't it? My lil boy will be 3 in January, I cherish every single moment I am home with him and hate the fact that he has to be at daycare from 7:30-5:30 cause I HAVE to work full time.
Cool costume!!!
And I'm sure most people in IT don't actually know any of that stuff anyway . . . at least I doubt most of the IT people in MY company do...
I would love to be a chef except the all nights and weekends thing kind of killed that desire a bit.
LOVE that you rocked the bubble Gaga outfit.
And when you're a chef, please cook for me?
I'm crossing my fingers for you that the right opportunity pops up!
You're back! I've been so bad on my blogging duties as well (writing and reading others' blogs). I'll try to read your again on a regular basis! Also, cool costume!
i wanna take a ride on your disco stick.
I would like to be a chef minus the hot kitchen and standing all the time. So I guess secret agent is the right thing for me.
haha love that you went with that lady gaga costume, amazing.
and i would love to be a professional blogger, i'm just waiting for someone to pay me already :)
