Flip a coin!

Do I want to own a bakery/sandwich shop or do I want to be a disgruntled accounting schmuck again? Ugh, I can't make up my mind! Could someone out there just tell me what to do? Ever since I buried my dream of being a nurse along with any hopes of being a major lottery winner, back behind the house with the many beloved deceased pets...I don't know what to do! In fact, now that I think about that, maybe I should go dig a hole and put something from nursing school in it to face the fact that it is a dead dream and put it behind me. Maybe I will dig up gold! More than likely I will dig up the cable and James and I will have to sit here all weekend looking at each other. Forget that idea! He would kill me with his bare hands if there is a 24 hour Monk special on so I better leave that shovel alone. It's time to move forward though, so I need to make a decision and fairly quickly.

I have made a baby step, I have applied for about 23 jobs that I have no real interest in and told myself that if I don't even so much as get an interview this week, that I would consider buying the sandwich shop. I have been baking everything from cinnamon rolls to cupcakes, to cookies, to pies this past week seeing what creations I could come up with. If I bake one more thing this week, James is going to have to put double doors in the house in order for me to get in or out!

For those of you reading this that don't know me, I would like to take the next 231 hours listing all the places that I have worked and believe it or not, I have only been fired from one. It was the temporary job when I was 17 at the Hickory Farms Christmas store. Wow, now there was a career! The following are in no particular order:

Dairy Queen
Kansas Bar Association
BRB
WRHS
Chinese Rat Kitchen (I can't remember the name of the place but this name is close enough)
Tommy Oil
Sirloin Stockade
Hickory Farms
Fashion Conspiracy
Sarco (my sisters favorite....)
Miller Mart
City of Topeka Parks and Rec
Goodyear
Cardinal Brands
St Francis Hospital
Vickers Gas Station (summer of 1978, I actually pumped gasoline and checked oil)
Some check proofing company...can't remember name
Commerce Bank
Fidelity Bank
Confetti
Dickersons
22 Ivy Lane
Save More Foods
Dillons (twice)
Sak n Save
USD 501
Dr Gilham, DDS
Bryan Travel Agency
International Tours
Travel agency in Lawrence, KS (don't remember the name)
KB Toys
Boy Scouts of America (#1 worst job ever)
Volume Shoe (twice)

I am sure there are more places but....obviously my resume exceeds the pages of War and Peace.

I get bored very easily. There has only been a few jobs that have kept me busy for 8 straight hours and when they don't, I want to quit. So I do. I need a job that is fast and furious, I want to stay busy, pick up my paycheck on Friday and go home and do it all over the next week.

Maybe someone can help me pick my next career, these are the things I love:

baking
graveyards
dogs
swimming
diet coke
coloring
jewelry or anything sparkly
dolphins

So, any ideas? Years ago I applied for a job writing headstones to give people ideas what to put on them. What a strange job. I am not sure what kind of training you need for this, nor do I think there is a class at the local university that teaches this but I am guessing that my Dairy Queen training wasn't enough to even get me in for an interview.

Anyone know anyone needing a writer that has no experience but full of bitterness and stupid stories? I tell you, I would excel at this!

Strange ideas are always right on the verge of spilling out of my head to no avail. A guy makes billy bob teeth and makes millions, someone names a rock and makes billions, someone cuts a piece of coil, calls it a Slinky and makes gazillions....why? Why am I not among these "genius" marketing freaks? In the past I have always prided myself in Christmas gift construction. All the way from "Barbies Bar and Pole Dancing Truck Stop", "Heathers Trailer Court Play Set" (that came with accessories ranging from WIC vouchers to packs of Marlboro's), last years was "Seizure Care Bear", and the famous "Easy Bake Meth Lab". Of course the meth lab was an idea that I got from someone else but my accessories were way better! I tried to make the "My Little Pony glue factory" but was unable to find the correct used Fisher Price car garage at the Goodwill. Maybe this year I can score one. I do have an outstanding idea for a piggy bank but I am not sure if the world is ready for it yet. Oh well.

So you can see my dilemma. HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!! Please place your votes now...do I get the bakery? or the schmuck job?
