Inspiration, Codename Alice

Oh my, once again dear Alice's entry makes me want to write one similar to it. Today, I was captivated by Alice's release of her dream job ideas for the last couple of months. I realized I haven't really thought about that since perhaps highschool. So I thought, heck, why not take five minutes and see what comes to mind?

1. If this were the grand future, it would be ship scientist or ship captain. Off with a team of cool but down-to-earth people out in space, investigating the unknown. YES, the metaphorical nature of this, comparing it to working in a lab is a bit heavy handed, but whatever.

2. Journalist on one of the long-term research vessels of an Oceanographic Institute. Go from port-to-port, spend my time with all levels and kinds of people. Quiet moments alone at sea, elements of danger and discovery. . .

Crap, I should go catch my bus. I'd love to have a job that requires working with people, travel, mediation, and geekiness. And really the ocean would be awesome.

P.S. Halo 2 is pretty awesome, although not more awesome than the original
