    Nowadays, with jobs being available over the internet all over the world...you are completely right!

    For all of us born into a small town, in a foreign country with no internet available and no fancy job options like (biologist)...Not so much.

    Yup, working on it. Writing a fantasy novel (not expecting that to make me any money unless I get lucky) and doing something secret (perfectly legal!) which I do expect to be quite profitable, eventually. Takes some time though...

    Also, kenn, you might be interested to know that you are partly to blame for my inspiration regarding idea #2.
    Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.

    so true!
    I'm too stubborn to give up so I keep on trying.

    You're never going to get to the top of the stairs if you don't walk up them.

    Yup. That's how I ended up with the work and life I now have. Boring is about the last word I'd use to describe it.

    The kitchen is too much excitement all the damn time. I envy people who get to sit in air-conditioned offices.

    I was inspired by this thing I read recently. The author talked how he was working a dead-end job (like most people in modern society do) and would read books and walk movies for entertainment. What aspect was it about these that he liked? The adventure. He put it real simply: live a life that would be world reading about or watching.

    Everything can become boring once it's turned into a job. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and after a while it became just another job. I was the meanest slave-driver boss in the whole world. Every day, just hike hike hike. One day I realized I missed having a normal job and that's when I realized that anything can become a boring job if you do it all the time.

    Some of the best jobs I've ever had were total dead-end jobs where I could let my mind wander all over the place while my hands did something else.
