Qualities of your dream job I have a little therapy assignment, which is to start a list of the qualities of my ideal job. It's an interesting exercise because I'm discovering some things which I actually value higher that I thought or used to. Here's what I have so far (no particular order): close to home allows daily contact with animals/nature moderate daily physical activity fun, supportive environment, with co workers I can be friends with. 11 am - 7 pm work schedule reasonable flexibility with vacation time pay scale similar to my current one drug & health benefits (or allows me to afford my own) a place where I'm appreciated and encouraged. If you could just conjure up your dream job out of a wish list, what would your list look like?

about the same but ad, has enough to do that time flies by

I dunno, I try to spend my time being profoundly grateful for the job I have and the life I have. I am very, very fortunate.

cape, what exactly do you do?? I've figured out you work for Verizon, but doing what? If I may be so bold to ask.

shhh no one knows what I do , including me! Think, power out at your house, you pick up your land line and the power company! Just like the commercial! My job is to be sure our batteries and generators will satrt and carry dial tone. Well sort of in a nut shell

you're a service technician when you can find the time

sounds ok to me, my other title:Creative Writer

I have my dream job aside from pay and location. Thanks to your post, it got me brainstorming about the possibility of working remotely - making my dream of living in the Orient and traveling Central/South America an attainable reality.
