I'm thinking this may not have been a good question for me to be asked on a Monday morning.

would the answer have been any different on any other day of choice?

once upon a time i always thought i would never want to leave my job - but it only took me 25 years to become disillusioned .... more by the politics, lack of recognition and unnecessary changes the main turning points ....

I have plenty of ideas, but first it would involve several acres (and an abode) with the ability to ski right onto a ski run. having room for a couple of draft horses in the back to pull a sleigh would be perfect as well!

I wouldn't quit working, or learning, but I would like to job hop! I get antsy. I've always thought there were too many jobs and too little time... I'd like to get frequent vacation time though.

I shouldn't have been so serious--
Maybe that's a Monday-morning issue -I've made some headway on my weekly quota of coffee. Now that I'm feeling better and more wide-awake - perhaps I can revise my response to include: buy my way onto my (private) school's managing board, and seriously kick a--!

I've always dreamed of being presented with one of those giant checks like in the Publisher's Clearinghouse commercials. Snap snap a few photos. Carry Tim and the giant check onto the airplane, and never come home.

So many places to visit, so little time.

Stop working. Start writing. Move somewhere that they have no idea what a plow attachment is for.

Some of it would have to go into a small place near the sea, a boat or two (either one that can do in & offshore, or one for each), possibly a beach hut on Mudeford Sands (although I really have no idea how well the yeti would get on in one of them - not sure the ones we've ogled over have the head room for him!). Then getting our garden done as we want, with a workshop and summer house in, an extension, enlarging the kitchen and replacing some of the furniture. And hiring a large skip in which to dump the accumulated stuff we have which just seems to multiply in between trips to the recycling centre... possibly get a new car, or just get the doors fixed on ours... new computers for the nieces... new cars for varying relatives... and so on...
