Job For A Day

When I was in junior high, my school had an annual black tie dinner fundraiser.  Like every other school probably.  With lots of auction items and whatnot.  One of the most popular auction items every year was to be principal for a day.  My dad never bought it for me but I always wanted to do it.  You got to get out of class for a full day and shadow the school principal.  It sounded so cool as a kid.

Using that premise, are there jobs you would like to do just for a day or week? 

Jobs I want for a day or three...

* Judge on Iron Chef when the secret ingredient is any sort of berry or shellfish.
* Work at Charm City Cakes.  Most of those cake designers have an art, not food, background.
* Judge or host of a Top Chef show.  Clearly I love Bravo and the Food Network!
* Broadway baby.
* Prissy organic farmer- like the Beekman Boys who remain perfectly clean wearing Brooks Brothers and Hunter wellies while picking green beans.
* Gift shop owner- except the only part that truly appeals to me is the buying at market. 
* Figure skater.  I'm pretty sure I would be awesome!
* Public/motivational speaker. 
* And this last one is a little complicated to explain.  I really want to design a fashion line.  Maybe maternity.  With Bestie.  But the hitch is that I would LOVE to sell it on HSN.  That whole network both cracks me up and fascinates me.

That would be so awesome if you start a maternity line--you're so talented, I know it would be so cute!

Oh I love your job list! I would have to agree about the Top Chef judge! I'm addicted to the food shows- this would be a dream as long as I could wear elastic waste-band pants! xoxo

When I was a kid I wanted to be a balloon salesman at Disney world. I figured since I was little the ballons would pick me up and we would float around :)

There are a lot of jobs I'd love for the day: bookstore owner, food critic, travel writer (although I think I'd want that job for a month or more).
