  • pet anal gland squeezer
  • dental hygienist (teeth give me the willies)
  • port-a-john cleaner
  • ride safety tester at traveling fairs
  • one of the idiots who works for our HOA
  • freezer stocker at the grocery store who wears gloves even in summer
  • school janitor with the orange puke powder

Jobs I Do Want:
  • the photographer that rides on the machines that go up and down the football field during a game
  • fire truck driver
  • DJ in charge of 80's music and lights at a skating rink
  • the little old lady who reads books to children at the library
  • the old, old, old wrinkled up, but nicely tanned prune lady with white hair, a sun hat, and deeply creased crinkly cleavage who walks on the beach at sunrise picking up all the "good" shells. Then she goes back to her beach house and drinks Coke and eats Nabs on the porch.
  • the person who decides which "new" words go in the dictionary

Lookee here! I'm commenting on your blog entry that I read. I think I would also not want to be a roadkill-picker-upper.

I'm going to add traffic counter to job's I don't want. Also an MTA (Metro Transporation Authority) employee working in the booth in the subway.

I would love to have the job of mom. Looking forward to it. Joel wants to be the bull pen catcher for the Kansas City Royals. Don't ask why the Royals, as he's a Houston fan.

Oh! And another job I would like is to pick the names of new paint colors and new crayons. Kbye.

A job not to have would be driving a truck filled with cows, pigs or chickens on their way to being slaughtered. Or worse....the person who has to CLEAN these trucks after unloading.
