After the-project-that-shall-remain-nameless, I want the most boring, simple job possible. I have actually been fantasizing about office jobs that would bore me to tears, or working in a factory or something. The only problem is that I don't really like co-workers. I mean of course some of my best friends (a LOT of my friends, now that I think about it) are people that I have met at work, but Then there are the Others. The ones that are holding up a mirror to your future. As you get greyer, and more despondent, they are who you will become. People that are checked out of reality, or mean, or have low expectations for life.
I guess what I need is a low expectations office job, but one with no coworkers. I could be in my own little cubicle, all by myself, on the top of a mountain somewhere. I would hike up the mountain in my white tennis shoes that I would wear with my sensible skirt and pantyhose, and then when I got to my cubicle at the top of the mountain, I would slip on some ugly brown pumps for the work day. I would type up senseless inter-office memos, and then hold them up for the wind to take them miles and miles away. And, the snow would be falling and blowing in drifts around my feet. Perfect.
