Mental Vacation

Ok, things have been way too serious lately. I'm going to end up with an ulcer....looks like it's time for a mental vacation. Anyone want to help me out? Feel free to join in my game. What is your dream job? Don't put a damper on my fun by saying "I already have my dream job. It's the best job in the whole world...." because that will make me hurl and will ruin the entire mental vacation concept....My dream job is to be the quality assurance person at the Crayola crayon factory. I would love to sit there all day testing the crayons to make sure that they have a consistency of color and to help choose the new crayon names. Do you know they have a Macaroni and Cheese color now? And who didn't use or at least avoid Burnt Sienna when they were growing up? Long gone are the days of red, black and pink...how simple...how boring...upon pulling out my box of crayons I find Banana Mania, Eggplant, Manatee, Canary, Mountain Meadow, Antique Brass, Cotton Candy and....this is one of the best....Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown....and I am NOT making these up. Go buy a 24 ct. pack of Crayola crayons and you will have the proof in front of you. Are you smiling yet?....or at least internally smirking?....Crayons are fun. They are silly. They are childish, but not immature. They make me feel just ducky....

Crayola QA is truly a noble profession. As for me though, the high school test said I should be a railroad brake operator. I don't know, maybe that is my dream job and I just haven't been open minded enough about it. Do railroads still have break operators? Probably not, so in that case I'd have to say my dream job is either "mythbuster" or firework tester, or some combination thereof.
