I would love to not work. More than anything, it would be super cool if Lauren got a huge book deal, and then made into a movie, and I got to sit on my ass all the time. Lots of people think that they would like to do this, but then if the opportunity arises they get bored and look for something to do, like a fun job. Well, I’m not much different except I know I can fill a lot of time and space with doing very little. I’m the kind of guy that would take a long time to go nuts sitting at home and doing “worthless” things. Mostly for the first few months I would read, play guitar, and beat the video games I’ve been saying I was going to beat for a long time. Then when that got boring I have a fun plan I would enact.
First, I would put an ad in the newspaper for free computer consulting or diagnostics for not-for-profit and religious organizations. Then I would answer that for a while. Mostly I would do it at my leisure, just going from place to place, maybe buy some equipment like a multimedia to look all official and stuff. That would be fun and useful and I could meet a lot of cool people I’m guessing.
I would keep that to half day after I got the hang of how I wanted to do it. Then I would spend the afternoons offering to pray for people. I’m not sure if I would put an ad in the paper for that to, or what, but that would be cool. If I didn’t find anyone to pray for I could do footwork for the Church plant, or just do more reading. I like reading, on the internet, books, magazines, etc.
I think doing that for a long time would be cool. Plus I could cook sometimes, and when we had kids I could take care of them.
That would be sweet….that or being the GC for building my own house would also be cool.
I don’t feel this is lazy or slothful, but more of me wanting to get some time to myself, and then give away a lot more of my time for free. I like working to help other people, especially when I’m good at something. So that would be really cool I think to do something like that. Plus, I would get better at praying just from experience….spaghetti against the wall.
