Okay okay I’m at a conference with my colleagues and okay okay it is true that at a conference you are likely to drink slightly more than you would otherwise. Am I not correct?
You know I am correct.
Well tonight after retiring to a attendee’s room we eventually discussed this question: “If you were financially able to take time off to do the one job you’ve always wanted to do – what would it be?”
Here are the answers… as I remember them:
- An English teacher to migrants who for whatever reason had to learn English at home
- An organiser of activities for latch key children
- Work with vulnerable teenagers – doing the “brat camp” thing… sort of.
What did I want to do?
If I could organise it, I would sign up for a scientific expedition. Anywhere. Somewhere in the outback perhaps.
That is my dream.
What’s yours?
