Oh my goodness! I was just thinking about bizarre non-existent jobs I’d be good at just yesterday! Paid companion is definitely one I’d apply for (and had considered offering my services for exactly this to a home care organization. I’d be terrible at helping clean, or lift things, but I love reading aloud to folks!)
The more I read about your life, the more I’m grateful for the path you forged ahead of me. I’ve been leaning into my weird for a very long time, and I’m so freaking honoured to be finding your footsteps on the not so well beaten path, and I hope those following this strange whimsical path will see both of our breadcrumbs to help lead them.
Strange jobs I wish existed:
Pigeon-friend:
Someone to come coo at the birds out your window so they know they are welcome at your sill. I spent two years perfecting my pigeon call.
Gentle kind-hearted Mary Poppins type for distracting tantruming children:
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pulled a strange bag of rocks, or drawing material, or a stray tiny toy from my purse in a bank where a child has been brought to wait to create a magical moment instead of a bank full of people wishing a kiddo would stop screaming. I know how hard it is to wait when there is a whole world of fun to attend to. I guess kind of like a Flying Pig (ala Kids in the Hall) for children in situations just before they are to meltdown. A roving calming presence.
Oh this is fun. May I borrow this as a prompt for Wednesday with credit to you? 💖💖💖
Marvelous. I love the pigeon cover. Yesterday we had 13 pigeons on the balcony rail. Coo. Coo! You can use this for your Wednesday prompt. I am honored.
Maybe some day we can coo at your pigeon friends together 💖
And thank you so very much for the gift of your prompt. I’m excited to share it with the folks who read my newsletter and the people who may show up at the live workshops tomorrow. 💖💖💖
