What do you want to do when you leave your current job Allan?
My response: I’ve been working since I was 16 I’ve done enough is apparently not valid.
So considering my ‘career’ (ahem) – a long period in Cartography (map making for those not fluid in French) firstly with the Government and secondly in the private sector. The later period literally making millions for the owner who is one of the biggest fuckwits I’ve ever met. Cartography has been followed by my current career in Insurance.
It occurs to me that I’ve spent most of my adult life pissing people off.
Mapping by nature, though in theory a wonderful product helping humanity, in reality just causes untold arguments. If you have ever been in a relationship you have experienced the ‘how can you not read that map’ argument – heck even the cell phone maps cause arguments – just recently I caught myself telling the voice on the phone that ‘I cannot turn left as there is yet another friggen set of friggen roadworks you stupid @#%$!. On the positive side it is now a small touch screen most people hurl abuse at not your family or loved one.
Paper maps – dead ducks now – good for wiping ones arse when caught short on a road trip but otherwise a dinosaur. Note to self – good move exiting afore mentioned fuckwits employment.
Insurance – yeah it’s a given I’ll be pissing off someone despite my noble intentions to assist them. I do work with some of the nicest people I have met though :-)
So what next? There must be a market for wine tasters surely?
Alternatively pick a company that caused arguments – parking infringements? Council? IRD? Airport baggage collector? Stripper? (he’ll be pissed off when she comes home covered in baby oil….) Real Estate? (nah – I’m too honest).
Feel free to post your suggestion
