YOU ….
YES, YOU !!!!
Have been captured…
Don’t be alarmed…
Stay Calm.
For these robots mean you no harm…
They exude kindness, chivalry and charm.
They simply need a test subject, you see…
Someone to travel in their
“WHAT IF MACHINE”.
They offer you a questionnaire…
These highly evolved,
and mannerly robots…
Quirky mechanisms that care…
And the first inquiry is:
“What if you could live ONE day,
in ANY career…
What career would that be & why?”
Consider your answer…
Ponder…
And let us know

Honestly?
a mother…
i want to be a mother… it’s probably the most important career of them all.
xo
Hmmmm…career…hmmmmm…maybe…a horse tamer!
I mean… a horse whisperer! You know…they whisper in the horse’s ears and tame the wild horses…yes! That’s it! I’d want to be that!
Because that would just be so, so awesome!
amazing pics Muse
Mother is pretty hard to beat but I certainly think a fashion designer would be fun
A Singer, I can’t sing one note on key…I would love to be able to sing for just one day!
I would love to be the “Queen of England” and if it was for a full day…I would invite you all to tea…and if it was for part of the day I would hope to be in a parade!
I have NO idea why I would like to be the Queen…but I am going to practice my “wave” incase….
Thanks Muse…fun post..and will you be willing to drive my float?
Music teacher, hands down. Can’t carry a tune in a basket, so this is definitely a “what if” wish. Why? because introducing children to music, ALL music, and showing them the joy, comfort and creativity it inspires has to be the best job in the world! Kathy
Yes, mother is the best. I agree. However, if I had a choice I would love to be an artist and paint wonderful pictures, chickee. I am a frustrated wanna-be rose painter!! But that would definitely be my first choice. A painter extraordinaire, honey…….Sigh*……..
Smooches,
Connie
Oh, Sweet Muse, what a delightful game today…
The two things I keep asking GOD to give me..the ability to paint beautiful pictures and to SING.
OOO, I would love doing both of these gifts…sooo…
For one day, I would dearly LOVE to paint an outstanding picture while singing in a to*die*for voice at the tip top of my lungs!!!
and thank you for asking…
and hope you have a splendid day..
xo bj
I think I would be a pediatric nurse at St. Jude Hospital. I’ve always had an affection for children with cancer and I would love to do anything I could to help make them better.
If I could live in one career for one day, I would be the Minister of Education, and turn the whole system on its rear, I mean ear!
I would be a brain surgeon.
No, a fashion model.
No, a recipe tester!!
Art teacher with kids. My passion for both makes it an easy answer!!!
Cheers,
Deb:)
Well… I’ve pondered here for a few minutes, and quite honestly… I’m doing the jobs that I love… Farmer’s Wife and Financial Advisor… but if I had just one day… I think I would choose to take a break and become….
Einstein’s Muse…
hugs… Dixie
I would love to be a famous actress like Helen Hayes and be on the Broadway Stage in a hit play. I think it would be wonderful to feel the warmth of the audience after a job well done! Of course, you would need to be starring in the play, too, Muse!
XO,
Sheila
Author and columnist — both dying professions as poorly paid as bellows menders. But they’re so me.
All the best, Lana
P.S. Please share YOUR answer, dear Muse.
Love the pics! This is a good question. My answer would be a famous fashion designer who is premiering a new line at Paris Fashion Week. When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a fashion designer. Unfortunately, I never learned how to sew very well.
One day in any career! I’d like to be an evil sith destroying everything in my path. Why? Because sometimes I just want to destroy everything and being an evil sith lord is a license to do it.
I would have to chose author. My perfect day would be the final day of a novel, deep in the woods sitting by the fire in some cabin, putting the finishing touches and writting the last words to my new best selling novel!
~sigh~
Back to work… writting code to grease the cogs of commerce for the man, who shares precious little of the wealth with the poor dreamers in their cubes….
Craig
Don’t know why but the first thing that popped into my mind was to be an actress for a day on the set of 24. (Jack Bauer may have something to do with that.)
First… a big shout out to Anne Francis, one of my old time favorite actresses!
No contest… I want to be an airline stewardess and fly to wonderful places with my one perfectly packed suitcase and my thin body which can glide down that skinny aisle. Nice dreaming
Have a Great Friday!
Roberta Anne
I would be the host of a travel/food television series…something like Giada DeLaurentiis’ “3 Day Weekend” or Rachael Ray’s “Tasty Travels”. When do I start?
Have a great weekend!
Great game and you find the best pictures. I would like to be a detective.
I love this post!! Hmmm…I would be a set decorator for a movie or tv show. I have a real attention to detail and would love to have to decorate a space for a particular theme, time period, personality. Such fun!!! Have a wonderful day and I so appreciate your comments on my posts!
Patti
I’d love to be a radio DJ.
Queen Elizabeth has a career as being QUEEN. I would like that, if only to have someone else iron my clothes for the day and fix a wonderful meal I wouldn’t have to clean up after. All the kids would have nannies, I wouldn’t have to taxi everyone about, and I could mount a horse and take off on my own across my beautiful land and maybe call up some world leaders and ask them, “what the hell were you thinking?” Yep- ONE DAY- I could do it!
Oh…now this may come as a surprise to you! LOL!!! (me thinks NOT)
I would want to be, along with Tom, the OWNERS of a Bed & Breakfast Inn in Door County, Wisconsin. I can picture us with an old, historic home…with at least 3 or 4 rooms…all decorated in a way to soothe the souls of all who enter in. With a Kitchen fit for a CHEF…namely ME. I would provide the nourishment for the body of everyone in the B&B!!
God has given me the gift of Hospitality and a yearning for a B&B…so we're trusting HIM, to see where we go from here.
Why Door County in Wisconsin? That's our favorite place to vacation…summer or winter. It's about 3 hours NORTH of Milwaukee, and is a peninsula that covers 72 miles…bordered by Green Bay waters on the west and Lake Michigan on the east. It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks for asking…didn't take me any time to ponder.
~Blessings,
Jan
A shop-owner. I would love to have a business to pass down to my boys. I would love to own a boutique, whether it be selling clothes, brick a brack or antiques, having a little shop that’s filled with beautiful affordable things would make me happier
I remember that show…
Thanks for telling me about Ballards. I’ll keep my eyes open.
I always wanted to be a fashion designer.I love to watch the designers come up
with the stars clothes.
I am already a mother….chauffer, maid, laundry wench…cook and life manager….lets see…
oh I know! I would like to be the host of a decorating/gardening television show! that sound fun!
I think I would like to live the life of a business woman who has her own business from home and works from home whenever she wants too. (It’s what I am going to college for)
I’m going to say a singer! I can’t carry a note to save my life and I think it would be great to be a fabulous singer, I’ll say with a voice like Ann or Nancy Wilson of Heart! But, just for one day!♥
I love those mannerly robots. So graceful despite their size.
Career for a day? EMT
I would love to be a famous artist, but only famous for my work, and no one would know who I was or what I looked like. But really I just want to be a regular person who lives forever. TTFN
I love this post Muse, I love all your posts
I would like to be the Director of the Louvre and have free range in selecting, displaying and most of all touching any masterpiece I wanted to
An archeologist adventurer with the map that leads to untold treasures (until something else glittery catches my eye).
And that only covers the “A” professions
Theresa @ Cottage Violets
I think this one will surprise you…but I would like to be the Head Football Coach for the Texas Tech Red Raiders on the day they win the National Championship!
Told you it would surprise you!
Malisa
I am already a mother, so I would love to own my own shop. I am halfway there since I am a parnter now in my mom’s shop, but to own my own and not have to answer to anyone!! Wow!
Well I agree with most that motherhood is by far the hardest and most gratifying job there is… However if I had a choice after 15 years dancing lessons and teaching for 2 years I would like to have been a famous dancer… maybe a Radio Music Hall Rocket… Of course I haven’t the body for that now…
(((HUGS)))
Donna
A published author with a string of “well received” books to my credit.
A philanthropist and spread the wealth to those in need. Ah maybe one day but for now I will just have to settle for giving jewelry away.
Have a great weekend!
Oh I think I would like to be someone rich and famous.Lounging on a yacht somewhere in the islands, sipping on a pina colada !LOL.Whew ,now that is dreaming !
Oh …so many choices..but I would love to have a job like Samantha Brown or Padma Lakshmi and go to places far and wide and taste all kinds of food.
astronaut, so I could see the world all at once.
Hi Muse…That’s easy! I would be a marine biologist…aboard the Calypso with Jacques Cousteau! Have a great weekend…Debbie
Oh my…let’s see. Well, this will be a big surprise….I want to be a goat roper! LOLLOL I think I would like to see the world through the eyes of a rancher, living out west in the Rockies. What a wonderful, beautiful view you would have of the majestic mountains with the ranch nestled down among them in the valley.
Easy Peasy. I would be a “Wave Watcher” on a tropical island, preferably St. John. It would be my job to watch the waves that roll into shore. I would have to take part in the local drink (rum) while watching the waves, so I am witnessing them the same as any vacationer who may catch a glimpse. Oh, does this have to be a real job?
Hi Muse
I would love to be an Astronaut! Fly in space!! Oh Bliss
A dancer in New York City. Either a ballet dancer or a Broadway show dancer/singer. The star, of course! Thanks for posing such a fun question!
