My ideal job

My ideal job would be a simple but interesting job: painting houses.

I used to paint houses when I was younger, that way I would have money to buy records, go to gigs (tocatas) or simply buy some beer for me and my friends.

I did this during summer because I didn't have to study or do important things. I only needed a day to paint a whole room. I only asked for some water, something to eat and a stereo or a cd player so I could have time to think, listen to music and do some excercise.

I would really like to do this now because I spend too much time in front of a computer or standing in front of lots and lots of people. I need some quietness from time to time. That's why I think that painting houses would be ideal for me, because it is a simple job I could do on my own, just relaxing and doing something nice and important. I would only need to be patient and to concentrate on what I'm doing (mixing colors, spreading the paint on the wall, paying attention to every little detail, and the like).

Finding a job as a house painter wouldn't be really difficult. Making a living as a house painter would be difficult since I have to pay a lot of bills. I think I could get along with it for a while, although it might be hard to buy all the things an english teacher can buy 8you know, electric guitars, expensive cars, etc.).

Another ideal job would be as a tour guide in San Pedro de Atacama. I love the desert and would have the chance of working for a few hours and then just spending time with my sandy friends, the dunes, the mountain and the wind.

Maybe someday I will chance my lifestyle to see what happens.
