Okay, sorry for the lack of posts lately. For my loyal readers I know you have been missing me (mostly because you voice your complaints directly to me!). So, if you haven't heard I am still not working! I was offered the job in April, but am a prisoner t0 HR and paperwork. A realistic worst case scenario is that I won't start working until late September! Ridiculous! So, this has made me think of other jobs that I could get in the meantime because as much as I joke about my goal was to be a lady of leisure...I am kinda bored! So, here is what I came up with so far....
1. Starbucks Barista -
Reasons it would be cool : I love Starbucks, and I would especially love free coffee while I was working! Also, I would love to be able to write my Barista recommendations on the board each day.
Reasons it won't work : For the amount of money that I would be paid I don't know if I could deal with all the crazy people with drawling from caffeine with their 5 minute long order. (in rich white person voice...ah, yea...I'll have a grande skim 3 shot 140 degree sugar-free iced caramel macchiato...and a scone) I mean seriously, if you need to take a breath in the middle of your order...you are too freakin' controlling! So, I think somewhere in between rolling my eyes, sighing, and saying "huh" I would be fired. I'll be honest, when I order I do say...grande non-fat no-whip iced mocha, which may at first seem controlling (me...controlling...never!) but it is really just to save them the time of asking....do you want whip cream? It is just me trying to help my barista!
2. Dog walker -
Reasons it would be cool : Dogs are cute and you actually get paid $15 for a 20 minute walk per dog and you only have to go out of the house 3 times a day! Not too shabby. Plus you would have the added bonus of being about to check out other people's apartments without them being home. I wouldn't miss too much tv and yet feel like I was doing something.
Reasons it won't work : I have a hard enough time picking up my own dog's poo without sticking my finger in it. Therefore, I don't think that I would be able to walk multiple dogs at the same time. 'Nuff said.
3. Open a cupcake cafe -
Reasons it would be cool : I heart cupcake cafes, they are just so cute! My favorite is Crumb...check it out. What would be more fun then making yummy cupcakes and decorating them into little beautiful cups of sugar.
Reasons it won't work : Yea, I can't decorate cupcakes! Not helpful in this field of work. Who am I kidding.
4. TMZ reporter -
Reasons it would be cool : For those of you that are either over 40 or have a life and don't know what TMZ is, it is basically paparazzi following famous people. It was originally on the Internet only (http://www.tmz.com/) but is now a 30 minute TV show (on Fox...check it out!) and has paparazzi follow and videotape celebrities while asking them questions. I love celebrity following and asking questions, I would be perfect!
Reasons it won't work : You actually need to know where the celebrities are at, and I don't have those kind of connections...yet!
Any other ideas for me? Let me know.
