My Work Options In 50 Parallel Universes

Have you been following my blog closely?

If you have, you will know I am a nurse.

I love it. I enjoy doing good things for people. I am hanging my hopes on my nursing career, that I may, in fact, one day be canonised.

Of course, if I am made a saint, I will not know about it. People tend to be dead for a long time before they are sainted.

I think people, praying to Saint David Samson, would be a beautiful thing. I could help people, even when I am dead, buried cremated and long gone. Amazing!

However, if something in my life, some tiny detail or event, played out in any other way than it did, would I still be a nurse?

What career would I have chosen, or fell in to?

Here is a list of jobs I think I may have had, had my life been in anyway different -

Retail Store Manager

Mud Hut Constructor? LOVE it!!

Hmm, I think I'd be one of those researches in a lab! No animal testing, mind you, just lots of microscope viewing and "Eureka!" shouting!!

Police officer? We're hiring!

Gigolo? I'm shocked! Very naughty...LOL.

What a great list - it's always nice to have a back-up. In a parallel universe I would be a 1950's "lady who lunches".

Postman said...

Yes, yes, I think "Mud Hut Constructor" takes the cake.

Oh kelly, what a lovely image. I would be keen to take tea with you upon the camomile lawn, having ourselves a civilised conversation.

Postman, I am sure it would be fun. I am just a typical man, love to get dirty. And it's always fun to make things.

Thanks Bunny, I will pop over to your blog for a cosy read soon.

Momma! You are terrible. LoL. I was sneakily reading my emails at work, in the toilet, on my iphone. I had to stifle my laughter when I read what you wrote. You nearly got me in trouble. LMAO!

I love that list. Can I be a sticky beak and ask what type of nursing you do? (I have just had one of the kids in WCH for a loooong stint. I have renewed respect & awe for nurses.)

For me, I would be the cool middle aged lady that smoked cigarettes and drank too much coffee and neglected her kids whilst she got creative and wrote cookery books......a la Elizabeth David....
