I need a Career or a Carer

I seriously have no idea what I'm supposed to do! I really need to get an idea in my head before I fall into an admin job at some huge company.

Ideally I want to do something creative that pays very well and only takes up a minimum amount of my time. Any ideas? When I did the questionaire at this site it told me I should be an actress. Unfortunately they neglected to include the question, "Can you act?" to which I would replied, "NO!". Why isn't life more simple? It really makes me question the whole feminist movement - I would have been perfectly happy to marry some lad from down the street, have a couple of kids and then spend my days wrangling clothes and saving up ration stamps. But no, I have to have a career, support myself and be an independent woman. Fuck that.

Oh wait, I do have a career - gin harpy.

I really need to rethink my career as I work in retail and last time I checked that has nothing to do with Human Biology! I’m thinking maybe addition for shipwrecked 2007 with the prize money; use that to movie to LA then meet some rich celebrities that can make me a star! Fancy joining me on this little adventure??

Okay maybe you could sleep with someone really rich you can be creative and it could pay very well + it could take a minimum amount of time!

Britpop I had been sober for 6 months, just taking a break, and it blew! I am now back on the sauce woohoo and loving it let me tell ya.

OK just had to share my gin soaked joy with ya!!
Oh and I have a new poem up at IHJ.

6 months sober? How do people do it! I'll go check out your poem - I hope you wrote it when you were drunk.

Thanks for the career advice, nrw. Your plan sounds great - have you applied yet? Could you live without a proper bathroom?

Nothing Really Matters said...

No not applied yet maybe if they had a bathroom on the Island!

Why not try getting your admin job and then spending the rest of your life pretending to people that you have some kind of master plan. It's worked beautifully for me. I've spent five years since graduating doing it. You split the time up with moments of clarity where you see the dire fringes of a plan to get out. You then invariably get drunk and forget about it.

What about scathing commentary on the social hierarchy of Gyllenfandom....while writing the great novel of the 21st century? I think you're admirably suited!

Or, you could just get drunk.

All such great ideas, folks. My dad wants me to join the police because they have - wait for it - a really great pension plan! Thats all the 'rents care about, pension plans and job security. They're so working class!

Uhmm, I've been meaning to ask this for quite some time now... What exactly is a Gin Harpy??

Please enlighten a poor Swede! ;-)

Nothing Really Matters said...

Oh dahling I'm so marrying some rich old lady!

I wish my parents had cared about pension plans and job security instead of Sobranie, golf and Bells Scotch...

A gin harpy is a bitter yet devastatingly attractive woman who drinks gin and bitches about people.

I have no idea what I'm going to do either - I majored in Theology, I work at a publishing company....

But I married a devastatingly handsome and successful NYC lawyer. And now I spend most of my time slacking off at my job and drinking wine. It's fabulous.

Miffed67 said...

@marcia, can I have your life?

britpop, you'd be fabulous at a Publishing house...ever give that a thought?

"My dad wants me to join the police"

Has your dad met you?

I also think you'd best not work anywhere with computers as you'd be fired in your first week for blogging during office hours. Not that I don't like your blogging, but I'm thinking of you holding down a job in order to buy gin and shoes.

Ah, I see! Thanks for explaining dear! :-)

britpopbaby said...

I know! He keeps throwing all kinds of stuff at me like, "What about working for Bentley?", "What about recruitment - you get a company car?"

I daren't mention our American adventures idea.

Nothing Really Matters said...

I wanna hear more of this American adventures idea.

Miffed67 said...

I wanna hear more of this American adventures idea.

Me, too!

Anneka and I were going to persuade the BBC...hang on, I'll write a post about it, it's a pretty long story.
