    I want a job that 0) Regularly challenges me 1) Provides reasonable monetary compensation 2) Provides the opportunity to work from home 3) Provides decent hardware to work on (fast CPU, 8GB RAM, dual 22-inch monitors) 4) Isn't shy about buying the dev tools or code libraries needed to do the job (in a timely fashion) 5) Allows me to be an admin on my computer 6) Doesn't bog me down with frequent (and often pointless) meetings 7) Doesn't require me to be a politician 8) That I can spend enough time at not to be "the new guy".

      Trophy/House Husband. Cook, clean, work out and look good on the wife's arm for social functions. In spare time I could play video games, do some art and fix things around the house. I did darn well at it too until I found this job. We can't afford to only have 1 real income. :(

          Would Nigella Lawson tester count as a job? I spotted this link on the page http://www.thedailydust.co.uk/2009/10/21/face-of-jesus-in-ikea-toilet-door-sparks-debate-among-shoppers/[^] Never mind Jesus, why did Bo' Selecta's Craaaaaaaaaaaaaig Davis Appear in a toilet door?

                  Detica ESG[^], would require a chance of continent though... Although they are expanding across the pond. And that company comes from personal experience.
