The return of the Friday Five

Mar 30, 2007 11:31

Now that I am back at the slave factory, I can look forward to the weekends again. It was tough trying to adjust sitting at one place for the first couple of days. And I have already spent 10 days at work. Time flies. I am still enjoying the *no work* period, getting used to trainings and being a part of huddles and meetings. Sometimes it is ( Read more... )

Woot! Return of the Friday 5 laxmi76 March 30 2007, 15:56:13 UTC
1. Are you happy with your current career? If you had a choice, which alternate career would you like to be in?
I guess you could say I'm now in an alternate career. I'm pretty happy, but still am learning the new position.

2. Which of these would you prefer - A fun job that does not give you the monies you would like, or a boring job that earns you more moolah?
Definitely the fun job. I'll never be one of those lucky people who somehow make tons of money, and I'm ok with that. I've never been a materialistic person anyway. As long as I can provide enough to survive on, that is ok. That said, being miserable in a job is not worth it. It affects your life, your health, your well-being. I really believe that if you're not happy in a job, it's really not worth it no matter how much money you make. I'll stick with the fun job. :-)

3. Do you have autographs by famous people?
Sort of. I have multiple autographs from Heywood Banks, who is a pretty famous comedian in the mid-west. He's not well-know here on the west coast however ( ... )

Writing's what I'm good at, and that's what I do. Can't complain.

2. Which of these would you prefer - A fun job that does not give you the monies you would like, or a boring job that earns you more moolah?

The former. Tried the latter once but I lasted only three months.

3. Do you have autographs by famous people?

No.

4. Flashback to a year ago. Are things better or worse than today?

Exactly the same.

5. Do you make wishes when you see a falling star, while blowing out the candles on the birthday cake or a fallen eyelash?

Never have and never will. Stars don't fall anyway - you're thinking of meteors. Under ideal conditions they can be seen every night if you know where to look. There's nothing special about interstellar debris, right?

1. Are you happy with your current career? If you had a choice, which alternate career would you like to be in?

## Yes. Full time writer.

2. Which of these would you prefer - A fun job that does not give you the monies you would like, or a boring job that earns you more moolah?

## The former, but only after I did the latter which would allow me to afford the former.

3. Do you have autographs by famous people?

## Yes, but does film actress Madhavi count as famous people? I have Kirmani, Mohan Lal and Madan Lal too, strangely.

4. Flashback to a year ago. Are things better or worse than today?

## Heh. Better in a lot of ways, worse in some.

5. Do you make wishes when you see a falling star, while blowing out the candles on the birthday cake or a fallen eyelash?

## Yes.

1. Yup. I quite enjoy what I do for a living. I have been fascinated by audiop-visual media too. But I would like to have a side business to do with baking or making cards :)

2. I would love a fun job with the money.
I had a boring job (it was interesting at first but got boring after two years) without the money. At present I got quite a fun job, though the money is't graet. I can go back to my boring job with the money and that too I'll get to be back home. But money isn't everything for me. I'd rather do without and enjoy my life to the max.
3. Yes. strangely enough I, who have never been a Hindi movie fan have an autograph of Aamir Khan. I had one on a cap too, but I don't know where the cap is.
4. Better. Same job which has become more enjoyable for me and loads of friends :)
5. I haven't ever seen af alling star. But yes to the others :)

Baking :) I had a colleague who started out with me in the print meduia, and then the last I heard from her was that she had specialised in baking and switched careers.
