The perfect job

So the latest challenge for the Writers bootcamp is to write about your life as if you had the job of a job ad you found in the local paper.

I thought I would do something different.

I thought rather, I would write the manifesto of my perfect job.

My perfect job

I awaken each morning excited at the prospect of the impact I will make. I am inspired by the people around me and I cannot wait to get to the office / site where I will be immersed in a culture of positive and driven people who are as eager to learn as they are to teach. I am in a space where no one is jaded, they just see the latest requirement as a challenge and they are excited to embrace it.

I am paid what I am worth without question - and I feel the worth which means that I dont spend what I dont need to. Suzy Ormond says we spend what we lack - never a truer word spoken. I am able to live comfortably, able to treat the ones I love and myself on occasion and travel. I have the time to travel, I have the means to travel. Perhaps I have some work that takes me to places that are far flung - and I latch on opportunities to explore to my work trips.

I am learning - every day. I am getting my mind stimulated and I am surrounded by really great people. Full of ideas and passions - all the time. I am supported by a great team - superiors and my colleagues. We are all in it together.

I have great colleagues. We are work friends, but we are also cool outside of work. They are not my be all and end all but they are great to spend 8+ hours with a day. They know more than me in some respects and I more than them in others. We inspire each other.

My clients / suppliers and colleagues are all committed to generating great success. We want what we do to work and we go for it whenever we can. We are not afraid.

I am an opinion leader, I am an adviser. I am fun. I am serious. I am knowledgeable. I have loads to learn.

I wake up in the morning and don't think of ways to get out of what I need to do. I embrace it.

Not sure what form this job takes - is it in media, is it my coffee shop, my florist in Ireland, is it my freelancing business? Who knows... all I know is it excites me to think its out there.
