What's your ideal job?
Lets say you are independently wealthy - Uncle Sid just died on the job with his 28yr old Swedish nurse and left you oodles of dough.
You may now feel free to lob the Boss's telephone at that annoying pillock in the next cubicle, give him the 2 finger salute (with optional rasberry) and go for an interview with (blankety-blank).
Where would it be? (Mr Ben)
What would you do for 8hrs a day?
And pouquoi mon chere?
Taxidermist, window cleaner, cableguy, librarian or porno cameraman?
Perhaps you'd just sit around and watch sports all day and scratch yourself?
Or would you keep doing what you are doing now? (what is it?)
Me, I'd deffo go get a job at Lowes
- (any dept). 
(and buy a decent camera).

Re: What's your ideal job?
I just flew home from 11 days in Alaska. You might want to rethink that option. A most beautiful and wonderous state but not for everyone. If you think you can't get British foods now, just wait. You can't get most American foods found in the lower 48 either. But damn the fish is so goooodddd!!!!!!!!!
And stay away from the rain forest. 305 days of rain per year. It was a bit soggy, my friend. In Skagway you can't even rent a place outside of the city "proper" that has plumbing. Outhouses. Yikes! Now if you have to move anywhere in Alaska try the outskirts of Fairbanks. Now that is a great city.
I'd just be a wanderer, myself.
