Every so often I like to dream about what I would do, if I could do anything.
I don't mean "anything" like when you're a kid and you wish you had super powers and could fly or shot laser beams from your eyes. (Although I would be one of the first to sign up for super powers, if I could.) I mean "anything" in a more realistic sense, as in any job or career.
There are a lot of things I'm interested in, and would love to try my hand at. Some are just whims, that I'd want to try for a year. For example, I think it would be fun to be an interior decorator. I'd love the chance to put together fabulous rooms, using paint colors, furniture and decor. Or be a florist and work with an array of flowers to make beautiful arrangements. I also would like to go to cosmetology school so I could learn cutting techniques and how to mix and apply perfect hair color.
Others are more serious, things I think I would like to do long-term. One of them is being an editor at one of my favorite magazines, and do things like brain storming ideas, interviewing and writing full-time. The other is being a travel journalist, so I could visit all the little corners of the world and write about them, but get paid to do so.
If you could just jump into a job, anything you were interested in doing--even for a short amount of time--what would you do?

Oh, I could come up with a few things. :) My lame dorky desire would be to be an actress. Maybe pick up a long-term guest role on The Office. :)
Or I think it would be cool to do screenplays for books that are becoming movies. I think I would be pretty good at making sure the essence of the book came out through the script.
Or I would be a full-time reader. ! I suppose that would have to go along with something like being a book reviewer for an online journal or something, but I would just read full-time. Read in bed. Read in my favorite chair. Read outside. Read while on the elliptical machine. Ah. That would be the life!
