Jumping through hoops

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

It has to be something I’d look good doing. I was thinking police officer, since at one time I did want that for a career, but I don’t think those uniforms are flattering.

I’d like to try a really exciting job, like one of the performers in Cirque Du Soleil. I find that stuff absolutely fascinating. Especially since I could never even master a cartwheel, even as a kid. Just didn’t have the coordination.

The stars of Cirque Du Soleil are not just athletically gifted but their performances tell a story. We took the kids to one show when we were in Florida many moons ago and I’ve seen the “erotic” show they used to do in Vegas. Amazing.

On the other end of the spectrum, another fun job to do just for a day would be as the Prime Minister. I’d never actually want the job, but a day in the life would be a real eye opener. It’s probably super unglamourous.

Speaking of which, can’t wait to see how he fares today when he meets with Trump. Fingers crossed Mr. Carney. Stay strong.

I can’t imagine how nervous he must have been.

  1. Quite an eclectic mix! I can imagine you as a policewoman for some weird reason, you know what’s right and wrong and it would be an easy fit for you. But CirqueDu Soleil for a day, hehe, I’d probably fall on my head in the first 10 minutes 🙂 Maybe a clown getting stepped on by the elephants is more my style 😛

    1. Lol well my coordination is terrible too but it would be so fun to be on a trapeze or something, and I’m not at all scared of heights!

      1. Yeah, if you could get the basics going like catching the thing, it would be a pretty cool job! But performing in front of an audience.. scary!

  2. Well, I saw the press conference, and I think he looked strong, but it’s really hard when you’re talking to a kindergartener.

  3. I agree about Cirque do Soleil. They’re amazing. I saw Chinese acrobats a long time ago and they were also amazing. Not sure if I agree with the police officer’s uniform not being flattering though!

  4. I just saw him on a news clip. I liked how he unequivocally said “not for sale”. Then our jerk had to come back with an idiotic response. He is a ridiculous child. Our sincerest apologies…

    1. Lol thanks 😂
      I think Carney did well, he didn’t poke the bear…nodded ‘n smiled and stayed above any silly engagement with Trump.

  5. I would love to become a girl who has it all for a day, it won’t be a job because I already have enough of them. I would just like to know how to live a life which is stress-free, a life without thinking “what am I going to do now?” or “how do I solve this problem?”. I would just love to know happiness even for a day.
