Time for a career change?
Posted: January 13, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 Comments »An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls “the best job in the world” — earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.
The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner’s home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland’s state government announced on Tuesday.
Seriously. Read the whole article here.
I promise to write and call.

I could really use the lettuce; wonder if they’d take a 46 year old 30 lb overweight mom slathered in sunscreen, sunglasses, a large hat, and completely otherwise covered during daylight hours, lest her skin peels from so many years in a dark cubicle.
You know, I think you might be just what they’re looking for. But I’m hoping they choose a family of 5 – dad 50, mom 47, 3 sons (one of which would not be so happy about the snorkling for sure). But you can be next on the list. Okay?
I want that job. Can I bring a friend if I get it?
Ellen – only if you took me!
