Recently I sat down to figure out what my dream job/career/life would need to include for me to feel happy with existence. D (Also know and unforgiving step-mother) said that I should try making a pyramid of what I want to get out of the career I will have one day; "What do you want to be the foundation? What is the root of your happiness?"

Blew, blah, blah, bo blew... Okay, it was a pretty good idea coming from D I admit. But instead of a pyramid, I made a cake! A layer cake, a deliciously moist, crumbly carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. (Of course all of those specific's are pure fantasy.)

I drew it on the back of the paper towel I had used as a napkin at dinner, which I think makes it almost like I wrote it on the back of napkin. How very artsy and poetic of me. I kind of feel like I should be sitting in a underground coffee shop right now, listening to indie rock, and desperately trying to debate that the French authorities should extend the universal jurisdiction of French courts to all crimes of genocide and such... Later, years from now when I'm retelling the story about how I found the true path to total job satisfaction; I will probably place myself at a dark, back table of a cafe, nursing a warm bottle of locally micro-brewed beer, feeling down on my luck. But for now, lets just move on, here it is... lovely, I know...

If you can't read it, it goes:

Satisfaction
Team Work
Variety
Serving/Relationships
FUN

So, I need to figure out what encompasses all of those things and that's what I'll do with my life! I figure I know two things: I hate my current job and I love making pies. I have no baking job experience, with exception of a few years volunteering for church camp during the summer as a Chef (which included baking and learning to scramble approximately 50 eggs at one time.), and I sure do have some gusto!

The tally lies like this, as of current. I've applied at Albertson's and Safeway, I'm applying at Top Foods right now, tomorrow I'm calling all the local bakeries in and around town. Maybe I want to be a baker, I've always wanted to work in a bakery, even when I was a wee little sprite. Before I go off to school to learn a trade I may or may not enjoy, I'm gonna immerse myself in it.

Here's to the dream!
