In space.  On a starship.  Don't care if I was sweeping the decks.

When I was a little brat, I wanted to be a magician. Then I discovered the radio and I day dreamed about being a radio disc jockey. This was soon followed by the desire to be in a rock band ( ergo why I joined a certain video game group on certain Friday nights recently ) either as a singer, drummer or keyboardist ( I did learn the keyboard in a junior college and played in a steel drum band but that was many many moons ago ). My older  brother also inspired me to be an illustrator but like everything else, I wasn't disciplined in practicing my skill and never decided on which profession I wanted to do. Music, communications or art. The closes I came to one of my interest was when I worked for a DJ company that a friend started and I did this for a year but I got tired of dealing with a couple of "bridezillas" and I said "Forget this!!" so I left the company and now I only DJ for friends or family.

Ooh, I could go for a billionare playboy who masquerades as a vigilante and spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands....

That sounds like a disciple of Jesus.

Hmm. Let's see...

A job that is secure in bad economic times, has more or less regular salary increases, pretty much allows me to create my own schedule, gives me three assistants to do the boring stuff, has a boss who pretty much lets me to do my own thing, there often are new and interesting aspects to the position even after 20 years, a decent pension and benefits, plus 52-53 paid-off days per year.

Wait a minute... that's my job as a government employee! 

Our Agency has hired several hundred people in the past year, although the starting pay for most of the positions may be too low for some at just $19.00 an hour. The hiring is mostly done for now.

Sounds better than Portillo's, except for the French benefits.

I'm more of a hardware/software/network support person.  I could certainty use the help.  Thanks.

I've heard that there are people being hired for $20.10 per hour using Stimulus Money. The positions are only temporary for about two years, but they will get you in the door as a State Employee. Health Care coverage may be extra. The major requirements, I believe, are: any 4-year College Degree, and you will have to go to the Thompson Building in downtown Chicago to take a general skills test on Tu-Th.

Contact me in you are interested, and I'll inform you how you can get a leg up on the questions that will be asked on the test.

Well, I have no qualifications as a job counselor, but do know a few people.

If you'll be at the Thompson's Monday, I'll bring the Guide along for you to cram from.
