One Week Job Page #3

---

get through and get out,

and then get a job,

and you think

it's going to be all great,

and then you realize

that it's not really

what it's cut out to be.

You work for a long time

before you retire, right,

so you may as well be happy

doing what you're doing.

It's been really rewarding

this week,

working with the animals,

you know,

you kind of develop

a sense of relationship

with them.

You know, each animal

has their distinct personality,

and you want to see them do

well.

She's going to be okay.

Call me Dr. Dolittle.

So I just got dropped off

on the side of the road

by the Greyhound bus.

I managed to survive

during the project

by keeping costs down

as much as possible.

Bus driver said to go this way

so I'm heading south.

I'd hitchhike, take the bus,

and stay at people's houses.

Oh, here comes a car.

Going to hitchhike.

They almost hit me,

actually...

not too impressed.

I think living

as cheap as possible

really added to the experience

because most often

I was staying

at employers' houses

and not at a hotel,

so I was able to learn

about the job

but then also

what the whole lifestyle

of that profession was like.

Here I am, first day on the job

just heading to work

working for a recruiting

company.

They recruit positions

for corporate executives,

so I have to look nice,

so I got my suit,

dug it out of my backpack.

Wish me luck.

I don't know,

I definitely cannot

see myself doing an office job

anytime in the near future.

It's a little mundane.

Just dropping off these towels.

First day on the job

working at McGee's

bed and breakfast...

life of an innkeeper.

And, you know, a lot of people

say to me,

"Oh, my god, well,

I don't know what I want!

If I just knew what I want, god,

that would be everything!"

Then here's what you do.

Find out

what you don't want.

Here we are

collecting cat tails

and cutting them up,

and then taking into town

and then maybe selling them

to restaurants.

The easiest way

to get a date

or to attract

the person of your dreams

is "Okay,

who's the date from hell?"

It's funny 'cause I was saying

that I don't think

I could see myself in an office

but I don't know if

I could see myself in the forest

day after day either.

What's the job that you would

absolutely despise and hate?

And write all that down.

"Don't want to do this!"

See, people are really

associated

to what they don't want.

Write all that down,

and the opposite of that

is the job of your dreams.

And the opposite of that

is the job of your dreams.

In week 11 I went to a town

in Quebec

called Trois-Pistoles.

The year before I attended

a French language program there,

and stayed with a host family,
