What's your Ideal Job?

[IronMonster]

My ideal job would be doing what I do now but not having to worry about getting paid to do it. If I won the lotto I would keep doing what I do but tell 90% of the people who want me to do it to get bent.

You do have a cool job. It's kind of a dream hobby for me.

As a younger man I had the desire to purse my commercial pilots license which would have been awesome, except the ex thought it too dangerous. Then I turned down a full time firefighting gig that I would have been retired from already. The ex did not want me doing 24 / 48 shifts. Then I wanted to finish up my ag engineering degree at OSU, but they ex did not want to move to Corvallis for a year. Wonder why she was an ex ?? I left hundreds of thousands on the table because of that.

I enjoyed my construction business greatly and made good money until 09 and my illness finished that. I still do some part time work, but really my desire is to spend more time fishing, gardening, travelling, and seeing the beauty of the Northwest.

The bullsh*t head games, manipulation, lying, deceptions and azz kissing that is required in today's corporate and business world is way beyond me. The millennials can have it all as far as I am concerned.

Have you considered turning to crime?

Drug dealer, pimp, online scam artist, and bank robber all come to mind.

I'd be lying if I said No, but as easily as it is would be for me to kick someone's rear if needed - I wouldn't feel good about stealing from or hurting people who don't deserve it.

And ain't nobody gonna pay to see me nekkid hangin on a pole

I didn't work at all in 2009 so you picked a good time to be ill.
And as far as your last paragraph , my thoughts exactly when I retired.

I'm a design engineer, and that is the way my brain works. I would love to get in with the design teams on some firearm/outdoor related company. I've been thinking about trying to jump ship and head that way for a while.

Military now, looking forward to retirement. Then maybe pickup something part time like Cabelas, or the post office

What would be/is your ideal job?

Beer tester and porn viewer working in a brewery in the country right next to a pretty trout stream....I love the smell of beer brewing.


Seriously Joe...wait, that was serious MMMMMbeer.

Joe, I urge you to start learning all you can about the variants of Lyme disease. NOT ALL of them can be detected with testing. As a fella who gets out hunting and fishing you are a prime candidate and if fatigue is one of your symptoms, then I'd say BINGO. The ticks are smaller than we are use to seeing back in the day. They are the size of a pencil lead diameter or even smaller. They don't always leave the classic "bullseye" and of the 4 major new tickborne illnesses, doctors both don't look for them, but cannot test for at least 2 of them. Cavet: I am not a doctor nor am I smart enough to even play one on the internet, but I'm serious on this. I know for a fact that Lyme can be had where it isn't noted on the official map locating the spread. I know someone who got it Yosemite before it was suppose to be there.It;s been in the NW for a while, and the cases aren't too numerous, but as noted in the CDC report, they estimate that Minnesota has 3 times more cases than reported.

I'll look into it and ask my doctor about possible tests.

As always, Thanks for the info and advice.

I really wish I knew. It's sorta been a lifetime curse. I've always been envious of the person that "just knew" they wanted to be a doctor, lawyer...even a ski bum. Some type of inner calling to be something. Me? I've never been able to figure that out. So far I've ended up in corporate America and I can't say that ever enjoyed any of the jobs I've had. Maybe one day I'll figure out what I want be when I grow up.

I was going to say, I'm a newborn with no credibility here, but everything you described sounds like Lyme disease.

As for me? Back to restoring muscle cars or assemble a small race shop.
Though retirement sounds good... I'm a corporate goon now, and for the foreseeable future (I'm 37)

I once sliced my left thumb open pretty good so I drove to the nearest ER and the doc stitched the tendon back together and then the skin. The doc was a cool guy in his 30s. A couple weeks later I went to his private practice in Oregon City to get the stitches removed there were pics of hotties on the walls. On the waiting room table were bound picture books like you see in hair salons filled with examples. You could choose huge hangers, Pam Anderson perfect half melons, natural looking Cs, etc. I'm not sure how long I waited cause I must have lost track of time, it wasn't a bad waiting room experience. If I was a med student deciding my specialty I'd probably choose to be a breast doctor too.
