Post your DREAM JOB

[MrScorpio]

I'd be a club DJ running the European Circuit. You'd call me DJ MacScorpio.

London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Copenhagen, Ibiza and Monaco.
That's the first month. Then Prague, Helsinki, Barcelona, Budapest, Cannes...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science

now I just need to get a few more degrees...

[wurzel]

1. retirement! n/t

[H2O Man]

22. Yep. Being retired has advantages.

My working friends resent Sunday nights. I love them.

[Liberal Veteran]

2. I wanna be Serena Sabak, world's sexiest psychic from Weekly World News

She's always on the run exorcising demons and casting good luck charms on poor white trash.

And she gets paid for it!

Here's an example of her good work:

Dear Serena: You've got to help me before I go crazy -- or get killed. I recently moved into an old house I picked up for a song because it needs a lot of work and it's situated behind an old graveyard. Everything was fine at first. But then I started hearing screams and moans at night that I'm sure are coming from the graveyard. One time I walked outside to investigate and saw what looked like hundreds of zombies carrying torches in a big circle around my house. I fired my shotgun at them and they disappeared. But I have a gut feeling they'll be back -- and this time they'll burn down my house with me in it. I hope you don't think I'm crazy, Serena. Please help me -- before it's too late. -- Worried in Baton Rouge

Dear Worried: Everything will be fine if you follow my instructions to the letter. First, purchase a big box of rock salt and spread the crystals in a circle around your house. Second, buy pine or juniper incense and burn a few cones as close as possible to your front door. Third, clip my photograph out of this week's paper and take it into the cemetery by light of day. As you enter the graveyard, shout: "In the name of Serena Sabak, I forbid you to enter the land of the living!" As you finish speaking, raise my photo high over your head and then drop it, letting it drift to the ground. As it does, turn and walk back to your house. You'll be safe from then on.

[Book Lover]

61. If you get to be Serena, I get to be Ed Anger!

Cuz I'm plenty mad already!

Seriously, though, my dream job would be setting up a printing/art shop; I'd do a little printing and sewing/binding in the morning, a little wood engraving in the afternoon, a hot cup of tea by my side at all times... Sigh.

[KamaAina]

70. Sorry, Bob Boudelang's got that one sewed up

Separated at birth, those two!

[Book Lover]

72. Damn!

Then I guess I'll just have to shoot for staff reporter :-)

[bluestateguy]

3. White House Chief of Staff

[tridim]

I'd like to do the same job as the guys on Mythbusters

They have the best job in the world.

I've always wanted to do movie special effects, both analog and digital. Some day.

[NewHampshireDem]

4. Sweet gig!

Are you really into that music, or do you just like the idea of that scene?

My dream job: Phantom restaurant reviewer. Get paid to eat? Sign me up!

[MrScorpio]

8. I love the music

I actually spent some time in Europe and I miss the times I went clubbing.

The pic is from one of my fave groups, 4 Hero.

[NewHampshireDem]

10. I would never have guessed ...

Not that I know you well ... or really at all ... but, well, cool.

I really get into techno/house/club music myself. I'll have to look for some 4 Hero and check it out!

[MrScorpio]

13. Download iTunes , if you don't have it. That's a start

Check out some of the radio stations as well

[NewHampshireDem]

14. Yeah ... I have iTunes for my iPod ...

which itself has about 7 gigs of electronica on it ...

I usually tend toward Paul Oakenfold, but lately I've been into Aprhodite, Squarepusher, and any other drum 'n' bass I can get my hands on.

[MrScorpio]

21. My net is spread is a little wider

Drum -n-bass, Acid Jazz, Trip Hip, Hip Hop, Acid Lounge, Electro-Jazz, Brazilian, Electro-Samba, Jazz Funk, on and on and on...

[NewHampshireDem]

26. You'll have to send me a copy of your iTunes playlist ...

I'm always looking for new good music. Though I've been into techno/electronica for about 10 years now, there is soooo much out there it is hard to keep up ... especially since my lifestyle isn't exactly compatible with being part of the club scene.

I'd send my playlist, but I'm in the middle of moving my music from one machine to another so all my files are off my computer right now.

[MrScorpio]

28. I sent you a message. Reply with your email

eom

[MrScorpio]

35. I had to do a little mailbox cleaning

the list is sent

[NewHampshireDem]

38. Thanks! I look forward to exploring it! eom

[Shoeempress]

5. Paris Restaurant Reviewer based in NYC. Ooh Lala

[NewHampshireDem]

6. You live here in NH ... what are some of your favorite area eateries?

?

[Shoeempress]

9. Cafe Mirabelle in Portsmouth, La Provencal

in Portsmouth, Rick's Cafe in Kingston, Colosseum, in Salem.

Also, here's a warning, Never ever go to The Pond view in Kingston. We asked for Grey Goose Vodka, and we got an anti-French Rant followed by an anti-semitic rant and then they turned on Faux news, and this was before we even got seated for dinner. We paid for our drinks and RAN out never to return and promising to tell everyone about this experience.

[NewHampshireDem]

19. I've never been to The Pond View myself ... always looked a little shady

But I've been to the rest you listed, except for Rick's.

I usually prefer to go to the Brewery in Portsmouth. We went to Antony Alberto's in the spring--it was excellent and I would highly recommend it myself if you're looking for a nice place to celebrate a special occassion.

[Shoeempress]

23. Forgot the Brewery, love it too. Never heard of Antony Albertos,

where is it? As you can tell eating is VERY important to me.

[NewHampshireDem]

30. Anthony Alberto's

http://www.anthonyalbertos.com/

It is next to the Cere's bakery on Penhallow Street. It's down in the basement, but the room is actually quite nice. It has *hands down* the best service in Portsmouth. The food is outstanding, of course. I believe Phantom Gourmet had it as the best Italian in NH, though it is not Italian in the same way as the Coliseum.

Dinner for 2 would probably cost about &75-$100 if you had three courses and wine or drinks.

One caveat: I thought the wine list was terribly overpriced. It has some impressive selections (not quite as extensive as the Kingston 1686 House) but their more common wines were, IMHO, about $10-$15 per bottle more than they should be.

[Shoeempress]

33. Menu looks scrumptious, we will check it out, Thanks for the

recommendation. We've only lived here a year, and are still finding our way to all the really good places.

[NewHampshireDem]

34. Too be honest, you'd be hard pressed to find a bad meal in Portsmouth

as long as you stuck to the downtown area, that is. However, the best Chinese and sushi are at Taipei and Tokyo out in the Marshall's plaza. They also have a restaurant in Exeter and one in Bedford. The Exeter one is actually Penang and Tokyo, and they have Malaysian food as well. The Bedford restaurant is just Chinese and Japanese, but it has a more extensive menu.

I also hear Crescent City Bistro in Dover is really good. They have a rum bar. I haven't been myself, but friends recommend it. :)

I really like CJ's on Elm Street in Manchester for Tex-Mex. If you go there you have to have the fish taco.

As you can see, eating out is important to me too! :)

[Shoeempress]

37. We've been to Penang and Tokyo, and had Dim Sum, Still better

in Boston, but the evening menu looked good. We'll have to go back. Thanks for the other recommendations, and once the election is over, our volunteering is done and Kerry is safely ensconced in the White House, we'll go back to eating out and try them.

[maxanne]

46. I worked there

In 1992 when it was Anthony's Al Dente.

I'll never forget wrestling with the antique copper espresso machine. Ai yi yi!!

It's good to hear that the tradition of fine food continues there.

[hyphenate]

67. I don't live in NH

but there used to be a restaurant near Concord called The Cat and Fiddle. It used to be excellent, but that was some years ago.....

[Calm Like A Bomb]

7. I want to be the mover...

that gets to pack up the Shrub's stuff and move it out of our White House.

:headbang:

[DemoTex]

11. Pack him light ...

He won't need much in federal prison.

[Calm Like A Bomb]

17. I'll pack accordingly:

Just Pickles's cosmetics case. That way he's guaranteed to look "real purty" for his new playmates.

I might even send extra just in case Ken Lay wants to join him. :evilgrin:

[DemoTex]

32. Be kind and pack the KY.

We aren't, after all, sadistic like he is.

[Shoeempress]

24. LOL. Please root through his stuff and find out who "outed" Plame.

[Nimrod]

12. Kept Boy

I hear it's not bad duty if you can get it. :)

[GingerSnaps]

54. Do you look like a young Brad Pitt?

:evilgrin:

[southernleftylady]

15. Running my own bakery! :) nt

[luaneryder]

16. Being of aid and comfort to the dying

That may sound morbid to many, but giving to those in need is the most awesome reward I have ever received. I can't think of any better dream job!

[medeak]

20. no it's great....

and you don't need a job to volunteer for hospice care. Have bonded with people you couldn't in any other way...

[bigwillq]

18. I already have it!

As a sports writer.

But I would love to be a screenwriter or a movie director.

[medeak]

25. wine taster

nt

[LWolf]

27. ok

A small elementary school...say 350 students, that feed into a small middle school, that feeds into a small high school, in a small community.

A progressive schoolboard and site administrator. Small class sizes, adequate physical infrastructure. Paid PE, Art, and Music teachers. Paid planning time. Paid time to meet with each and every family at least 5 times a year. A 190 day school year, with a 2 week fall, winter, and spring break. Full support services; psychologist, tutors, special ed, GATE, etc. available during the professional day.

An excellent, well-stocked library as the center of the school.

Schedules, calendars, programs, curriculum delivery, staffing, rosters, etc. decided on by the teaching staff and parents as partners. Administrators as facilitators of their decisions.

A garden area outside each classroom door.

No whole-school, district, state, or federal testing; classroom assessments chosen and implemented by the classroom teacher for the purpose of informing instruction.

An individualized curriculum.

No letter grades. Alternate forms of scoring and reporting.

A whole-school focus on nurturing and supporting the growth and development of the whole child.

No classroom interruptions...phone calls, announcements, etc.

Paid well enough to buy a home in the local area and live comfortably.

All expenses come out of the school's budget, not mine.

I get to choose the sort of professional development I need to grow professionally.

Rich teaching resources available.

All styles of learning and teaching honored.

I could go on, but this is enough to start. Somebody let John Kerry know, ok? :eyes:

[Philosophy]

29. Reclusive writer with cult-like following

Like Stephen King.

I actually have been writing a book for months now, but I keep procrastinating and convincing myself that people will think it sucks.

[DiverDave]

31. Scuba Instructor

I was one on Maui for 8 years, I would like to retire to my sailboat and teach/charter in a warm, island environment.

Hence the nick...

[RebelOne]

36. Actually, I have my dream job.

But I'm not receiving my dream salary.

[mbee]

39. Political strategist for the Kerry Campaign because they aren't coming

on strong enough. Seriously, they need a committee of citizens from across the country to give them constant feedback and advice for their consideration. An example, this morning the Kerry person on with George Stepanapolous (spelling?) talked about the job losses under Bush, but failed to bring up the Bush policy to eliminate overtime that goes into effect tomorrow. It would have been a good time to say Bush doesn't care about American workers.

[The Straight Story]

40. Test out sexy clones for sexual functionality

Quality Control :)

My other dream job, writer and inventor. Working on both. Just bought a home and am fixing up the computer lab so I have space to do some electronics and OS writing/tinkering.

My favorite job - being a dad to my little girl. Nothing quite like it really. Wonderful, stressful, and a bundle of emotions all wrapped up into it all.

I like anything to do with research, from government to math learning new things is exciting and keeps me going. Maybe being a night time radio talk show host akin to Bell.

So many jobs, so little time...

[drdigi420]

41. I'd be the head flogger at the Bush-Flogging Permanant Museum

[B Calm]

42. Managing the family fortune

and spending most of my time having my bare butt swatted with palm leaves by half naked hula girls!

[Lori Price CLG]

43. Homeland Security director so I could stop Bush's next attack...

...either that or I wish I was the media pool's audio engineer for the Iowa caucuses, so that Howard Dean's 'scream' could have been heard within its actual context, and not distorted by the microphone type that was used. :)

Lori Price

[stavka]

44. Interstate Lottery Winner

With Millions I could have the only job that matters, "A relevant participant in US society"

Everybody else must band together and hire a representative of one sort or another.

[AlFrankenFan]

45. A Senator or a writer...

and I'm only 14 so I still have time.

[tandot]

47. I'd love to investigate Republican scum bags and expose their illegal and

hypocritical behavior.

If I could get paid for that, I'd love it.

[murray hill farm]

48. Wellll.....

First I would like to spend my working years in teaching and as a private practice psychotherapist...and then retire to a tranquil island in the Mexican caribbean...oh wait...that is what i did. Ha!

[pinniped]

57. I'd play my electric violin with a rock band...

[MrScorpio]

58. I have a new "Wish I could" job.

Headslapper Upsider

"I have doubts that Kerry truly earned his medals."

SLAP!!! Buy a clue, will ya!!

"You know those other swift vets were out there with Kerry. Maybe there's something to what they have to say."

SLAP!!! Put down the fuckin' kool aid

"Bush didn't put these guys up to it. They're doing it by themselves."

SLAP!!! I can't hear you... Rove's dick is in your mouth

"Hey, it's on TV!!!"

SLAP, SLAP, SLAP!!!! Do you believe everything you see on TV?

[Endangered Specie]

59. Porno Camera Operator.

of most any film or television away from Hollywood. Hollywood is too hot and too political, and I worked in it for long enough.

New England, Toronto, Vancouver, New York, etc. would be the best venues.

Science fiction, preferably, with a lot more work in series television.

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

68. Congressman or president!

Allright, let's keep 'em perky and pointy for the next scene! :)

[Mojambo]

71. This is going to sound exceedingly stupid

But I was watching America's Funniest Home Videos the other night (Ya I know, but sometimes I'm high and I just watch it)

Anyway, they had this series of clips from a video camera that was mounted behind the counter at some type of store. (There were glass cases so I suppose they sold jewelery)

The storefront was a giant clear window with a glass door.

All day long people were seen walking head first into the clear glass window. Afterward one of the workers there would go and windex the window clean so the next person would walk right into it again.

It was fucking hilarious and my dream job is to work in THAT store.

[bearfan454]

73. Getting paid a lot to post on DU.

That would be cool.
