London Buses

I'm writing this post, in the same way as many of the others, mainly for myself. I'm trying to think of careers that I might like, and I'm brainstorming criteria for such careers. In no particular order:

• No shirt and tie. I value scruffiness - even my current job, which allows me to wear Vans and a hoody, feels a bit stuffy to me because of the no-jeans rule.
• Not having to talk to the public. I've tried changing, but I think I'll have to live with the fact that I'm shy and don't like people until I know them. Ideally, my upcoming travels abroad will transform me into a bubbly, outgoing person, but probably safest to assume not.
  
• Not working for the man. I'm not necessarily looking to save third-world babies from melting ice-caps or anything, but if I could avoid the more obviously evil corporations it would be nice.
• Time off. Stating the obvious, perhaps, but holidays are nice.
• Involving music in some way? OK, this feels like the extra search term you put into eBay that you know is going to wipe out any chance of a result, but sod it, I can hope.

I'm sure there was more, but I'm tired. I didn't go to bed after the lost post. That was silly. Work tomorrow innit. Before I wrote this list, 'teacher' was top of a very short shortlist. It has now cemented (or perhaps pritt-sticked) its place there, possibly because I subconsciously let that particular career guide the above bullet points (apart from number one - I don't think teachers can be too scruffy, but it's a different ethos so I'll except it). Still very, very open to ideas though.
