A Thought Experiment For The Weekend

January 29, 2010 by Ian 3 Comments

Today, I’m completely out of things to post.  have one more piece I’m working on for tomorrow, a reaction to something another blogger wrote. But then I’m out. No more topics.

Yep. Blogger’s Block.

So I’m going to try a thought experiment. I’d love it if you tried it with me, but I expect I’ll have to post the results first to make sure people get the idea.

What I’m going to do is examine two scenarios, both under the title of “If I Were Going To Be…”

The first of these “If I were going to be” scenarios examines what my current job would look like, if I were going to create the position myself, from the job description right up to day to day reporting and coaching. That’s going to be the easy one. Big, difficult, but easier than the next.

Because the second “If I were going to be” scenario is – of course – my dream job. It’s what I would be doing on a daily basis if I had my druthers and could work either for myself or for anyone else – whichever decision I end up coming to – and will likely look nothing like what you’d call a job. In essence, I’ll be writing a job description for my perfect life.

I expect the two posts to drop on Monday and Tuesday, as long as I can make them not conflict with the launch of The Dowager Shadow among other things on Tuesday. But the weekend will have to be mostly taking notes, so I may be tweeting quite a bit under the #thoughtexperiment hash tag.

I wonder how this will turn out.

For now, have a picture of my son, playing with his shadow.
