Current jobs/ ideal jobs

[Taco-Calamitous]

Currently, I am unemployed. Anyone who knows what being unemployed is like will tell you that it is, in fact, the ideal job.

Personally, I have to disagree. While there is a lot of freedom involved-in that you are not obligated to go somewhere to do something that may or may not be unpleasant to you at a specific time-there are also restrictions in that you are not being paid, and therefore cannot buy things you would like or need. Plus, when I am not working for long periods of time, I often get anxious or bored, and don't know what to do with myself. I'm sure you have your music or something to occupy your time with though, eh? Or do you feed off inspiration, which isn't always apparent?

Anyhoo, my "current job" is a "Substitute Janitor," and occasionally a "Substitute Kitchen Aide" for the school district. Some weeks I get a lot of work, and other weeks I don't get shit; last week, I only worked one day. I'm hoping to get a full time job at one of the schools in the near future, but that is not my "ideal job..."

My "ideal job" would be one to do with writing in some form or another. Perhaps a journalist or a published author (although they say you always need a second job as an author.) Or perhaps a writer for a comic book, TV show, movie, or something. At least that's what I want right now. I'd also like to be lead singer for a band, and failing that, perhaps back up singer whilst playing some instrument that I have to learn first (the last instrument I dabbled with was a bass last Summer.) My eventual dream for retirement, though, is to own some kind of small shop in some small coastal town, with some trustworthy people to run it, so I don't have to do much real work. Anyhoo...

How can you get bored? All you need is a penis, lubricant, and a personal computer with internet access.

In reality, I spend most of my time trying to work on my thesis. I figure I can finish it while I am still in undergraduate school, and then get a job to pay for graduate school and not die over a lack of hours in the day to do it all.

You could also catch up on art. Or use a penis, lubricant, and a personal computer with internet access.
