What would you quit your job for?

Blogged by nidrajiva as Jacking jill - My first blog — nidrajiva Fri 12 Nov 2004 9:29 am

Today is an off for us, but I am working to compensate for the off I took yesterday. I took the elevator (instead of the usual stairs), and heard this announcment just as I was exiting….”Third Floor….Thank You for using Kone Elevators”. HA! HA! HA! What is this? Suggestive programming? Imagine hearing this everyday and then growing to becoming brand loyal to Kone Elevators. I find it very amusing.

On a different note, my work place is extremely quiet at the moment. Apart from a few keyboards being hit at furiously here and there, I can’t hear much. Very peaceful. Very nice. I was just wondering how much I like slience. Or let me put it another way. I don’t like noise that distracts. Now I know no one does, but I seem to be overly sensitive to it. And in my cateogary of noise, you can throw in nagging housewives, whining aunties, angry uncles, bitching neighbours, irresponsible drivers/riders, incompetent politicans…..oh my god…looks like I don’t like anything around me.

I love the vastness of empty space. I love greenary. I love sunny beaches (with bikini clad women). I love the sight of the Himalayas (although I haven’t seen it in mud and stone). With this fantastic state of mind, I’d like to list 10 jobs I’d love to quit my present one for.

I’d love to quit my job to:

1) Work as a cameraman for Discovery Channel
2) Be a traveller for Lonely Planet
3) Be a guide at the Himalayas
4) Work with animals at some National Park
5) Be a chef at some vegitarian restaurant by the seaside {I know I won’t have good business :)}
6) Be a roadie…..and have fun with groupies..
7) Be a wildlife photographer 8) Be a Yoga instructor
9) Be a biker and travel around the country on a Harley Davidson
10) Stand on the shoulder of gaints (go figure!)
