Florist
one morning, having been yelled at by GP/clients/secretary about different shit, and reading a brief from opposing counsel that I needed to respond, which task was making me nausous; I realized I needed to buy flowers for my daughter's dance recital that night. so I go into this florist- they have such a peaceful lifestyle. Almost everyone they see are happy. funerals a drag? No, the funeral homes come to them, not the bereaved, or they are phone ordered.

Anyway, it seemed such a nice contrast to my job, that morning. I'm sure the $$$ are a little lower.

If funds were no issue, I'd run an organization that would take injured greyhounds off the track, rehabilitate them physically, prepare them for life as a pet, and then facilitate their adoption.

If I could do it without working too hard, and the results would always be good, I'd be some kind of super duper pediatric surgeon.

But really, based on what I know, I think I'd like to be a law professor (if I never had to write...).

Mostly, I think I'd like to try Mega-Millions Powerball lottery winner on as a career for a while.

I've heard a good scam is to figure out where the winning ticket was sold and pretend it fell out of your purse.

That is a very difficult question. There are so many things I like to do that if I could turn all of them into a job, it would be ideal. I suppose if I had to narrow it down I would be either a fashion designer or the GM of a hockey team with unlimited budget and nice, no-pay-attention owner - hell, maybe I would just own the team if I had lots and lots of money. Actually, owner would be better - then I would have more time for my hobbies.

My friend was an architect for six years and now she is a medical resident. When people ask her why she changed careers she says that she always wanted to be an architect *and* a doctor. She seems to think it is very natural to not have to pick just one career to have. She's a bit of a brainiac though.

I was thinking that Bridget Wilson Sampras, former beauty pageant person and actress in a bad French Stewart movie had the life. RIches, mild fame, fabulous house, didnt need to work, nannies, endless shopping, world travel and best seats jn the house for the best tennis events.

If I was guaranteed being a top ranked tennnis player, then I would go withthat if I could be assured I woudlnt look like Jana Novotna and I could end up in a Bridget Wilson scenario. Maybe a steffi graf type situatin. without the german stoicism of course.

I didn't EMAIL her a second time. Both times I CALLED and left phone messages. The reason I left the "let me know you're OK" phone message was a bit devious on my part. On our first lengthy date, she had told me about a guy she dated for awhile who she was getting serious with, and how they would spend weekends together and talk every day. Then he disappeared without a word to her. She told me after she didn't hear from him for awhile she called and left him a message asking him to contact her, since she was "genuinely concerned" about him. My phone message was giving her a taste of her own medicine, which I didn't think was so bad when she did it.
A taste of her own medicine? She told you about when some guy completely blew her off. Then she completely blew you off. And you wanted to point out that you realized she completely blew you off and you thought you were giving her a taste of her own medicine? That's the stupidest thing I've heard so far this year.

Actually, she may have been a model, because I think they were saying photos of her were getting to be 3 years old, and no one was taking new ones because she looked so worn. It was saying that the 28 year old star had just had a lot of plasitc surgery because her hard partying had left her looking 40...that she was known for her nice natural tatas, but gotten implants because gravity had already taken its toll. They may have also said that she hadn't been landing a lot of work lately because she had looked so old and worn for her age. Does anyone have any idea who this is?


Thanks, dude, for any help.

This is a noble and important job, but I just don't think I could take the "down side" of working with dying children. It makes me depressed just thinking about it. It takes a special kind of person to be able to do that -- and I'm definitely not that person.

I'd break down too often.

She seemed to be happy with the guy with the good build, bald head and fucked up beard lines. She kissed him. If he keeps his mouth shut, he'll have a better chance of not blowing it. He looked way too happy when she kissed him.

But, since he has a good build (although he's short), it doesn't bode well for him when the guys with really good builds (and shaving practices) arrive. He'll be tossed aside like that pathetic Anon.

The Anon isn't (very) new blood. And if you're referring to NW Native, he got much kinder treatment than most of us did as newbies (and than Taxwonk gets now). I still can't think of my own hazing without welling up. Pardon me while I take a moment.

Portraitist. Joy of painting, rich patrons, no real boss.

Come to think of it, animal portraitist. I've seen several advertised in "Bark." It would be sweet to be paid to play with dogs all day.
