Why ruin a good hobby?

I work to pay for things

Nothing dreamy about that shit

It's a waste of life really

Trading time for money

Just waiting for the Walmart greeter job to open up...

Although not working anymore I feel lucky that my last job was my dream job. I did support from home and only had to show up for annual xmas party. Pay was good not great but could not beat being at home especially in winter when I was never late for work because of snow. My wife earned a year long paid leave while I had that gig. May have been the best year of my life. She actually liked making sammiches for me. Nooners. Couldnt beat it.

My dream job would be getting paid to go fishing.

First I would catch small Fish for bait then catch big Fish.

I could have a show cooking Fish.

Hopefully mine soon will be "**** this shit, I just won the lottery!"

Solid business plan right there

Crypt Keeper for August Ames..........

Professional poker player, contemplated it at one time...

Other than that, sports talk radio.

Not sure it's my dream job, but I just got hired at Microsoft. They have some pretty incredible benefits.

Congrats:toast:

I have pretty close to my dream job.

I think my true passion though, would be to imitate Charlie Weis' career. Paid millions for not doing jack shit.

Thank you! I've been working on this one for about 7 years. I'm super stoked. Start Monday.

Nope, can't say that this is living the dream. But hey, lots of people have it far worse.

My biggest irritation is that just before the statistical revolution in baseball I took a stats/methods course and the project I chose for the semester was this massive spreadsheet and analysis on what contributes most to winning baseball games. Speed, power, walks, Ks; what was the thing that most closely matched w/ Wins on an overall team basis? I didn't have access to the advanced stats you find on fangraphs and stuff now so I couldn't get much of a statistically significant correlation, but for the time it was pretty damn good stuff. It was 30-40 pages of charts, graphs and genuinely decent stats work since I had a professor steering me in the right direction if I made some error that was self-driving the results.

Then I see things like "Mike Girsch gets GM job 5 years after getting hired by simply mailing 30 teams his statistical analysis on X" and it just pisses me off. I don't suspect I'd be some hotshot MLB exec or anything, but I always wonder if it could've gotten me a foot in the door coming out of college. Could I have been at least an intern in an early analytics department and worked my way up the ladder?

I thought I had some pretty cool ideas at the time and they damn sure hadn't gone mainstream yet. Wish I'd have acted on them.

Go out and get baked this weekend
