December 21st, 2009 — Job, career
While most people work a normal 8 – 5 job, boring office work, police force, teachers, bankers and the list goes on. These are the things which we usually “want to be when we grow up”…
There’s a whole WORLD filled with unbelievably fascinating jobs which we hardly ever hear about!!
I’ve found this list at Oddee, please share if there are more which you wouldn’t mind swapping your career with 
Paradise island caretaker (&blogger)
Luxury bed tester
Resort waterslide tester
Professional prostitute tester
Wine tester and blogger
Candy taster
Condom tester
World of Warcraft Tester
Director of Fun at a museum (age 6)
Bike rider-photographer for Google Maps
Funny how most of these jobs involve testing something… If you could choose ANYTHING, what would be your dream job? I’m not too sure what mine would be, but I’m sure it would involve blogging!!!

Think of an astronaut. The picture in your head is most likely of someone super-fit, super-intelligent, and super-adventurous. But now there’s something that wasn’t in the original job description: on missions, astronauts now drink recycled urine. Doesn’t sound particularly appetizing, does it? But there’s that element to most jobs. Think of what a surgeon, a daycare assistant, a dentist or a plumber has to deal with every day. In short, there’s no job on earth that only has a glamorous side. That’s why it’s called a job and they pay you. If it were all fun and games, you’d be paying them. Anyone for a trip to the moon?

I’ve been working in front of computer for 8 hours a day – sometimes more, for the past few years. I realize that the monitor isn’t doing my eyes any good, but what can I do? Its my job! I got glasses a while back – specifically to relieve the glare from my monitor, but now I get a headache from the glasses on my nose.
I can wear sunglasses without a problem, but they don’t have those grip things on my nose. Oh well, maybe I should’ve tried a different type of frame – maybe I will try to change that at a later stage… I might even try ZenniOptical, as I hear they have affordable prescription glasses available.
These days there are so many jobs which require you to spend half your life in front of a computer monitor, that its not even funny to see so many people wearing eyeglasses.
Computer jobs also affect your back, i.e. the way you sit in front of your computer could seriously damage your back, neck and shoulders, and visibly affect your posture. I know that its a problem for me, and though I try to keep it in mind, I still catch myself sitting with my shoulders slumped forward. Slouching becomes such a habit, that trying to correct your posture may even be painful!!
I’ve seen some exercises in a local newspaper, which was so ridiculously hillarious – there’s no WAY that I would do that in the office, in front of my co-workers!! Still, they had a point – excercise is extremely important, and could really help in correcting your posture, or keeping you from falling into a habit of slouching.
I also realize that there’s a horde more health concerns for the computer bound generation, but I hardly have the time and the space to write about it now… I’ll have to do a sequel!!
