Yeah, I Am Not Done

Lobster. Filet Mignon. Pizza. Alright, I know the third may not be as exciting, but I am not over this personal chef thing. Can you imagine the possibilities?

Dishes you have never experienced before and food combinations that you never knew existed would be at your disposal. Anytime, anywhere, anyhow you want a meal you could have it. I can't believe it took me this long to thing of this perk. Nevermind, I can't believe that you thought I would only post one blog on this subject.

If Bill Gates does not have a personal chef I would love to ask him why. He is not giving me a handout so I am sure he as that extra room in his budget for a luxury like this. You know what, I think I would learn to cook every dish known to man if Gates would hire me as his chef.

Time to stop with the food for a second. I have news that I forgot to tell you in the last post. One, I met a girl. Two, I had an interview. I am going to make you wait for details. Seriously, I am spending the rest of the night working on my visualizations.

The Plate Issue

You know what else I would be awful as... a chef. (These really aren't that hard to come up with.) My idea of a home cooked meal is something that is delivered to my front door that I can put on one of my three plates. If it is on your own plate that is kind of like a home cooked meal. I am serious! You know what transfers from a take-out container to a plate easily? Chinese food. Yeah, you can always make it look perfect! A scoop of rice, some orange chicken (spicy of course), and a egg roll on the side.

Bill Gates probably has a chef that lives in his house. I know I would if I had that kind of money. You would never have to worry about destroying dinner or forgetting to shop for breakfast food. I bet a professional Chef would take care of everything. Can you imagine? A refrigerator that was always full and every meal that you desire made at a moment's notice.

I might be a horrible chef, but once I make money I would hire one in a second. Fresh eggs, bacon, and toast every morning. Yeah, that's it. All that on my way to the office. I guess it might be time to visualize again.

Positive Thoughts and Beer

I would make a horrible weather man. No build up to that statement and I really don't think I need to provide an explanation either. If you read my blog, you know I would not make a good weather man. Simple.

Well, it's Monday and that can only mean one thing... MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL! Oh football, my first love. Today was pretty slow for me. (Shocker!) This morning I was going through this process where I picture myself already landing a job, making good money, and visualizing that it all already happened. This practice is good in theory, but I tend to drift off with random thoughts instead of focusing on my positive thoughts. For example, I tried to sit down and do this exercise early today and you know what happened... I started thinking about Bill Gates. I wonder if Bill Gates enjoys the NFL? I wonder if he sits down with a beer and watches play by play? Will the Bears win?

I think I need to work a little more on this visualization theory. Maybe if I can focus my Mondays will start to be really busy again. Back to the game and welcome in week 4.

Seriously!!!

Alright, I have come to term with the fact that what ever job I land will be positive. Yet, I am also extremely aware (thank you Bill Gates) that I will not be making hundreds of thousands of dollars. (No huge house on a remote lake for me this month.) This point has lead me to really think about what positions I am qualified for and what positions I would really be willing to take.

Hmmm... the one thing I came up with is I definitely would never want to be the guy responsible for the functionality of a web site. Que the Chase bank issue last week. How would you like to be the guy in a cubicle somewhere sipping on a cup of coffee when a panicked supervisor runs in and starts screaming at 8:30 in the morning. "The site... it's DOWN" screams the enraged supervisor! (At least that is how I imagined it happening.) PASS!!! Really, who in the world would want the kind of responsibility on their shoulders to fix an entire web site and all of its functions before hundreds of thousands people begin to realize they can't review how much money they spent the day before.

I would be glad to take on something a little more "simple".

Second Down and Four To Go

Summer starts to fade away. Kids go back to school and we all receive a present that people around the country cherish. The return of the NFL. The National Football League. I can't help but to sit back and smile as I type those words. Can I even express how much I love this time of year? My favorite team is back, football starts, and more importantly fantasy football starts. Simple realization, but fantasy football is the closest I will ever get to being on a professional football team. I guess that is unless I actually meet Bill Gates, he purchases a football team, and somehow I make it as a kicker. Maybe he would even finally bring a team back to Los Angeles. Wow, I am full of lofty dreams this morning!

Can you for just one second, imagine making $20 million dollars a year (or more!) for playing football? Seriously, put the wings and beer down and think about it! Just ridiculous. Well, I am never making the salary of a professional football player, but I can tweak my line up to win the league this year. At least, I hope I can. Honestly, by the end of this season I better have a job. On or off the field.

Labor or UnLabor?

Well, Happy Labor Day friends, family, and people who have not hired me yet. I would enjoy this long weekend along with everyone else, but my life has turned into a several month vacation. And, I am not sure that I can celebrate laboring when I haven't exactly labored in a while.

This brings me to the simple realization that I don't have to celebrate every holiday. It's not like I didn't know this already, but now I am stating it out loud. I have forgone an Easter or a St. Patricks Day celebration along the way (mainly due to illness) so why can't I not celebrate Labor Day? Bill Gates won't pay me to celebrate, actually no one will pay me to do anything. As I am typing this I can tell I am slowly moving away from my motivated self and getting closer to my bathrobe wearing self. I am changing this weekend to Happy Un-Labor Day. Now, that is a holiday I can currently enjoy. I say celebrate this weekend how ever you want. Lets roast some brats, have way too many beers, and call our ex-girlfriends (Scarlett) and beg them to take us back. Happy Labor/Un-Labor Day to all!
