Your Perfect Job

[styvisor]

I was just wondering what everybodies perfect job(s) would be....

My perfect job would be something to do with me not being in an office enviroment anymore. That's why I've sent off for some information about doing a garden design course, so if I get onto and complete it I can work outside all year round, which would be nice.

Failing that I would like to open a Rock club right in the centre of Cardiff, something to rival all the non-rock clubs

Hey Styvisor,

I too work in an office environment - I don't actually have a problem with the job or my colleagues, but I'm probably in the wrong job as I'm a creative sort of person, yet I deal with maths on a daily basis...........so, I think I'd like to be a writer/poet........

Hope you are successful in gaining a place on the garden design course!

A rock club sounds cool!

Hey Clara,

Reading through my topic I sort of made out that I really despise my job, which I do to a degree, but I should have said that I'd been doing the same sort of job for the past six and a half years. I even feel like I have become a robot <_<

But the friends I have made there are the sort of friends which your going to know for years to come whatever happens . They have also got me through any trouble I have/had B) .

Also cheers for the encouragement for both my ventures.... But I'm still waiting for the paper work to arrive for the garden design, and enrollment starts tonight for the course :huh: :ph34r: I probably have more chance of opening a Rock Club....

Btw, can I assume that your Rock fan

Sty,

I'll listen to any decent music, mate! What do you listen to?

Hey Clara,

I listen to Metal mostly (Heavy/Black/Death), but also like bands such as the Kodo Drummers (Japan), Enya, some Classical, some types of chillout music, Bluegrass, The Dubliners, James, Stone Roses, 60's music, 70's Rock, and a few others (I'll only bore you if I went on ).

A couple of bands that you should keep an ear out for, are a band called Angel' in Heavy Syrup and Kadura. They hail from Japan, and play psychedilic rock. Very nice to chill out/relax/fall asleep to to B)

One thing which really pisses me off though is all these manufactured bands, which are formed just to make some corporation a load of cash :angry: .

Hey Sty,

I listen to mostly 60s and 70s music, although I'm not averse to listening to any modern stuff. Blues, soul, R&B, folk, chillout etc. Amongst other groups, I'm very into Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground and also Janis Joplin but I also listen to psychedelia. I agree with you about the manufactured pop acts - I detest them. It's ridiculous that people will go to concerts and pay money to see people who cannot sing or play instruments and have not truly attempted to hone their craft by touring etc., before they are famous. The songs all sound the same with the same pappy lyrics. Grrr!! :angry:

well i dont even have a job right now but what i would like to be is a writer.

At this moment I work in the financing business. It sounds really boring, and I can acknowledge that. I really would like to do something with computers as my real job. I am relatively new as computers are concerned. I think I know enough about computers now, to make it my profession. I hope I will work in this sector within 3 years or so. Now it is really difficult in the computer business. But hell if you do not try it then you will never make your dreams come true, that's for sure.

Hi Kris,

I envy writers. They really can imagine things all day and create something from that. I mean, I have so many idea's and want to write them down. But unfortunately I am not patient enough to be a writer. Kris, have you already written some work?

[styvisor]

Hey Syd,

Why don't you go for a computer techie job now... You have the proof to show the interviewers what you've achieved so far with this site and www.ez-film.com. Whats the worse they can say anyway B)

I always get ideas just before I fall asleep, and always tell myself that I'll remember it in the morning, but for one reason or another I never get around to writing it down :unsure: . I'm probably a rich man in a different dimension now <_< Ah well...

Hi Sty,

I really want to! The only thing that holds me is the security of a steady job. But I am on the verge of letting my old profession go and choose my new one. The step that I have to take is always a difficult one, but I am sure I will do it. I just do not know when.

You also work in the office. So, you know how it can be sometimes. I do not want to do this all of my life.

Yep, writing down is the problem for me also. But well maybe we can start a writers forum here.

hey Sydney i have written lots of things i have just never gotten them published after all im only 15 :-p

Well, I think that age does not mean a lot. Some people are very creative when they are young. I even think that getting older can become a handicap as creativity is concerned.

Totally agree with you on that one Syd. I use to have lots of amazing and weird ideas to develop things when I was younger. But now I only have one developing idea a year (If I'm lucky ). Let this be a lesson to all you youngsters that drink and drugs don't work B)

[styvisor]

Did you manage to get on that garden design course, Sty?

Hi Clara,

Unfortunately not, due to me being underqualified for the course (you needed a level 3 NVQ or equilavent). I think it was just a passing phase as well, so for now I'm still thinking of ways to get out of my current job....

Other jobs I have thought of in the past couple of months have included working in the merchant navy, tv/film extra (about £70 a day plus), and a few other things as well, but these were also pipe dreams as well. The only thing which has'nt diminished though is opening the Rock Club B) .

Cheers and beers from Wales,

my perfect job would be one that gives me the money to dont have to worry about financial issues, and also where i have the time to spend the (hard earned?) money in the more pleasent ways. traveling arround, knowing people from arround the world..

I agree with sty that an office is the less adecuate place for happines, i have tryed that option before and now I KNOW that is not a very good option for me unless i want to live an economicaly safe but depresing life.

maybe i go to sweeden.. i would love to.
