Hey Lynnie, know what I like about your posts? I can't just sit here and bang out a quick reply. Your questions always cause one to be just a little bit introspective, this one especially. I like that about you. And it certainly speaks to who I know you to be...
But dream job, eh? Hmmmmm.... I suppose some would say being a teacher would be a dream job, summers off and all. I won't deny that I do like it. But at this stage in my life, I don't know if I can put the words "dream" and "job" together without the outcome being a bit too realistic, and not enough dreamy.
For now, let's just leave it at this

Just as well, I'd have had too much fun with quakes and floods.

Well back in 2008 I was working at my dream job. A few short years later, it was more of a nightmare.
The past ten months have seen me transistioning into a career in photography also.
I have met the woman of my dreams, and we will pursue our dream jobs together.
Most excellent, Mr. Bee!
NOW, get that website up ... your art should be more widely seen.
~Peace, Leggs
EDIT: If you need website development advice, hit me up ... it's what I do.

Goddammitt!
My dream job would be playing the government-sanctioned Grammar Nazi so I could catch all who use this NOUN, Transition, as a VERB!
The word you seek and overlook is To Transit, i.e., I am transitting, I transitted, I have transitted into a new career.
Because it's a common enough failing in corporate-speak America (and Canada, you are copy-cats, flat out, so this goes for you, too, eh?), I would choose to forgive you. We copy our bosses: even when we KNOW his grammar's 'teribble' and his spell-check is 'broke,' he's still the boss.
I wish I could be the boss. And planet Earth.

The worst jobs all suck.
The best job still sucks.
If you work, you're a jerk.
If you're in school, a fool.
Work on your turns, fool.

Pretty good stuff, Marlow down below. A Life, in four parts; but do you dream in four parts? No. It just happens. That's the way I like my lives.

Randisi, really, you don't have to do anything.
Work, job can be fun, should be fun. Accomplishing, taking pride in your craft, helping others, if you work for someone....helping them succeed. Some create beauty in art form or music. If you don't like working for others we are blessed in this country. If you work hard you can make your own dream come true.
Edit: raining today, so awesome....a May rain in So Cal. And it forces me to stay indoors and pack for TPR. :D

3 months a year - having my present job.
3 months a year - climbing trips.
3 months a year - doing whatever I chose.
3 months a year - playing in this band:

Mouse:
To comparte-ment-alize life isn't all bad.
I leave one room and get into the next.
When there's many rooms or compartments, my illusion is that I'm better off than when there's only one room.
Actively making choices, including daring to walk where angels dare not walk, is giving me a chance to form my life - bring the results or outcomes of my life closer to my intentions. Staying away from pain isn't a priority as isn't searching for pain. Searching appy-ness isn't a priority as isn't staying away from appy.
And I have no full control, cannot fully control the outcomes of my life. And that makes life all the more interesting.
This could also be an answer to what makes me a climber, an answer to Donini's thread.
Pretentious isn't it? And over-analyzed? Mostly I dream while awake. And there's always a hidden door, a hole in the fence...

TMjesse,
Mayhap I can figure out a way to get promoted. Your job clearly ROCKS. Although I am pondering ...... Perhaps lynnie needs to broaden her horizons. Thinking about backpacking Europe next summer. Jess thinking, but thinking hard. Smiles and Cheers and thanks for the pictures. Inspiring!!!
Edit: A real dream is to play in a band like Marlowe. percussion or harmonica. :D

No way, really Dr. Sprock? I've heard about the Ranch. Don't know if what I heard had an ounce of truth in it. Sounds like an interesting place. Does it still exist? lynne

It took Aspen 3 attempts for the perfect pose. She slipped off the rock and fell into the frigid Lake Tahoe water but tried again. What a parable to me.
Time to up the "Dream" anty. Time again for another transition. Time to tap into the next Dream Job. The thing is Dream Jobs may not be easy jobs, like Aspen falling into frigid water. But, the end result, the accomplishment, can and will make it worth the the effort. (I hope)
So, I'm going for it. High up on the slack line with no saftey net, cause life is to short to live a "Cubicle Life". lynnie
