Secret Life

[peggyfromwastate]

I'd like to work in a hospital pharmacy (as a pharmacist) and be on one of those "teams" where I'd round with the doctors and tell them how they can't give so and so that drug, or else they'll die.......

I like the life in the lab, though. And scientist/research types are very interesting people so I could enjoy that kind of a scene!

I'd be a greeter at Wal-mart.

[mommax3]

A police detective, (think Olivia on Law and Order SVU) or a drummer/back up singer for some famous singer or group.

Sally

The 3rd Indigo Girl (w/o the lesbian thing - not that there's anything wrong with that!).

I wouldn't want the job long term, but I ever since I was small, I thought cops and detectives were so cool....Also, I think being a career groupie would be soooooooooooooo cool.......for say, U2 or somebody...

P.S. I actually started out pre-med, and lasted about 2 seconds!!!

I'd be a greeter at Wal-mart.

Not a back-up singer? I would have thought all that karaoke singing would've kept the dream alive.

I've got a few:

1) French hornist in a premiere orchestra
2) Olympic runner
3) Stand-up comedian
4) Sniper/assassin :!

The person who gets to name nail polish and paint colors ....

Ooh, that would be fun! I always wondered where people come up with those names. I was using markers tonight with DS and noticed one was called "firefly red". AFAIK, fireflies aren't red.

My fantasy is not so secret - I want to go to med school! Whether that will ever become reality remains to be seen.

Some of my other fantasies that take a back seat to the MS one...

- chocolate shop selling artisanal chocolates amongst other chocolate-y things
- vet, but I would work for free for homeless animals who needed me
- pilot. I actually had a lesson - ONE lesson - from a CRNA that DH knew. She died in a crash scant hours before the 9/11 hijackings. Haven't had any lessons since!
- wildlife photographer in Africa

[Cumberland]

I would be some sort of researcher where I can travel all over the world but not actually work very hard.

My real secret dream is to live very back to nature- make my own bread, sew my own clothes, grow all of our food, raise bees, etc. Then I think about the work involved and how much down time I would have and I think I am crazy.

Do it...just sit down and write. Give yourself an "I'm going to write for 10 minutes" each day time frame and just get started. Some days the writing will be lousy...but once you get in the habit, you'll do it.

I did that for an entire summer and I actually wrote 9 1/2 chapters of a med spouse book...that...I never finished...and now...never probably will

I'm also always fantasizing about having a small farm and living off the land, simply, off the grid, etc. I used to think it would actually happen, and now I kind of doubt it.
I actually went as far as reading all the helen and scott nearing books, and trying to plan the thing out. Then I got married. *poof*

(not that I'm bitter or anything)

I have a whole bunch that are totally conflicting. At different points in time and depending on my mood that day, I've dreamt of being:

1). A corporate shark
2). A Martha Stewart-type housewife
3). A writer/journalist
4). A personal shopper
5). A college professor

Do I suffer from multiple personalities or what?

Maybe you could get a combo going....a Martha Stewart-type housewife who starts a successful personal shopping service for corporate sharks and then writes a book about it.
