Dream Jobs

I had a conversation with Jeff yesterday, and I literally can't stop thinking about it, even today on my day off.  He was showing me pictures of his basement that he's had to redo because of water damage a few weeks ago.  It is unbelievable what he has accomplished, and I simply told him he's in the wrong business and that he should be in remodeling for a living, not just because he's good, but because he loves it.

He admitted, it would be his dream job.

And then he asked me what my dream job would be....

And I didn't have an answer, because the things I love to do, simply don't pay right now.  So for me, the words dream and job simply don't mix.

But if they did, I think the only thing I would change is my job.  The one thing I do actually get money for would be gone.  Adios, nada, zip. And then I would have all the time I wanted to write to you, and finish stories, and not worry about numbers, revenues, and budgets.

In the past eight years, my job has changed me, some good, and some not so good.  I find that while I have learned a lot, it has also taken away a lot of my creativity and (for lack of a better word) happiness.  I simply don't love it anymore and that makes me sad.

So what's a girl to do?

Well, I have to believe that I'm here for more than the betterment of skating in the Lansing area, so I will keep plugging along on the real dream job.  I have to find myself at Biggby more and work less.

I want to write.
I want to create something that changes people's lives for the better.
And I want to travel.

A girl can dream can't she?  What would your dream job be?
