Wearing jeans to work. Maybe even sweat pants.

Next year I’ll be job-less upon arriving in Melbourne. And after spending some time settling in (read: doing all the furniture buying, errand running, applying for blockbuster memberships and new-apartment-new-city setup stuff) I’ll be on the job hunt.

Except, for the first 5 months of my time in Mebourne during the final semester of my masters degree, I’ll be looking for CASUAL WORK.

I haven’t really done casual work ever. Well, at least since I was 15 and worked in the snack bar at my pool. But I was quickly upgraded to lifeguard and then waterfront director at summer camp. I had a tech-advice-consulting job in college, and office work in Perth, but I’ve never done REAL casual work.

You know, working in a clothing shop, bar, café, restaurant, etc etc. And I’m getting my chance next year, for 5 months, before I turn PR professional again.

My top favourites at the moment:
Fitness Gym (free membership!!)
Making coffee at a café (I love coffee… a lot…)
Florist (arranging pretty flowers all day will make anyone happy, right?)
Bookshop (I would just read all day)

Definitely nothing involving cooking food, scooping ice cream, or spending every single Friday and Saturday night working.

Anyone have any other good ideas?
