Re: tell us about your job
What do you do?
Nothing
Do you like it?
It's better than doing something. Actually it gets boring sometimes.
What makes you in particular well-suited or poorly-suited for your work?
I'm a hard-working perfectionist. I'd rather do nothing than do something badly.
What kind of people do best in your work?
Hobos, drug addicts, kids with trust funds, aging hippies.
What qualifications are necessary for people considering work in the same field as you?
A hefty bank account and an ability to amuse yourself.
What is a typical day like?
Get up pretty early, have coffee, read the paper, make breakfast, browse the interweb, play some video games. Then find someplace to get lunch, go out & lunch, come back and chill, go to the gym and squat 2000 or so or maybe go for a bike ride, then go to the park and read a book. Meet some friends at a cafe when they get off work (suckas), go out to dinner, go home and watch a movie. Some nights drop and go out clubbing, some days go out mountain biking or hiking.
What kind of problems do you encounter?
Friends who wanna go to the crappy steak house that charges $100 for a side of potatoes. Parents and grandparents constantly telling me to get a job. Self doubt and thoughts that I'm wasting my life.
What are the biggest (most common) sources of frustration and elation?
Frustration - pretty minimal, mainly parking related. Elation - when you find a whole week's worth of Steel Cut Oats in the bulk bin for $1.50 !!
How much do you make?
$0.
How much can one expect to make in your position?
Well, most people make around $0, but the sky's the limit, some people like Paris Hilton seem to be making millions from doing nothing.
