Occupational Hazards
Lately I just haven't been that motivated at work. I strongly suspect that it has something to do with the absolutely gorgeous weather we've been having, which leads me to gaze out my window instead of at the pleadings stacked on my desk. Be that as it may, I started thinking about what I would do for a living if I weren't practicing law (read: staring out my window). I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather do, or more importantly, anything else I'm qualified to do. And then it hit me.
I could be a cast member on the Real World.
This seemed like a good idea after seeing the first episode of MTV's new show The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet. It seems that this Real World stuff creates a life of its own for the contestant, even after they're done filming the show (once they've "stopped being real", I guess). After you're done with the taping of the show, you can sign up for junkets like this, where you get to live, rent-free, in a large, nicely furnished house, with other attractive people. They feed you. They care for your basic needs. All you have to do is: show up, drink copious amounts of alcohol, have sex with your castmates in the see-through shower and not get kicked off every week. I could do that. The bonus is you don't even have to decide what you want to do every day. They make your schedule for you. I've got to start working on my audition tape.
