What career do your family and friends say would have suited you?
70
Prompted by a comment made by Spryte on another hub, I wonder what careers your family and friends say would have suited you best versus the career you actually took up in the end.
How many of us ended up in a career that looking back, we would never choose a second time around?
How many of us had an idea of what we wanted to do when we grew up, but ended up doing something completely different?
How often do friends and family say to you now 'You should have been a ........' or 'You should have taken up ..................... as a career, you would have been perfect'?
My Vision for Gwendy as an Actress in Dynasty.
My Mother always said I should have been a lawyer, as I could argue any case in whichever direction I needed to. I did get plenty of practice at home with my somewhat bad tempered Father, and by the age of about ten I could tie him in knots in an argument, although I did have a slight advantage as he had previously suffered a 'clot on the brain'.
Being a lawyer was not what I wanted to do however, as all I was interested in was horticulture and growing vegetables. Not too surprisingly this didn't end up happening either, and over the next 20+ years I bounced from job to job, never quite finding one that I wanted to spend the rest of my days in. I guess I get bored quite easily and need loads of mental stimulation to keep me interested, and at the last count the longest I have ever stayed in one job was about eighteen months.
Some weeks back I gave this matter some thought, and also realised that half the problem is the careers teachers, who never seem to have the imagination to suggest exciting careers to their students. Instead they come up with uninspiring suggestions such as Secretary, Bank Employee, Electrician etc. In other words, jobs that keep the world turning, even if not your enthusiasm to go to work each day.
I felt so strongly about this I wrote a hub called 'Careers Your Teachers Never Suggested' in the hope not only that people would identify with the options included in the hub, and that were never suggested to them, but also to maybe give a few alternative ideas to teenagers now deciding on their own future careers.
Possibly Spryte, Prgrundy or Ajcor
Now to lighten the mood somewhat I am going to try to use my judgement skills on some of my fellow hubbers to guess what careers they would have been very suitable for if they were to be leaving school today and starting out for the first time in a job.
What I am interested to know is if I come close to the mark as to what each of you would have chosen, plus I would like to hear if you feel you made the right career choices in life, or if there is a different career you would take up now if you were able to turn back the clock, and, if there is, why you would choose this particular line of work?
It will be impossible for me to guess on all my hubber friend's ideal careers, so just to get you started here is a selection (please forgive me if I haven't included you specifically).
Please feel free to also add your own suggestions about fellow hubbers and what you think their ideal career would be based on your knowledge of their personalities, skills etc.
Countrywomen, a potentially excellent counsellor.
BT could be a racing hare.
Just Rodney or Lady Guinevere, wildlife photographers or film makers.
Shades an after dinner speaker possibly.
Mighty Mom or AEvans possibly Motivational Speakers
Trish or maybe Jewels could work with children.
Lady Guinevere or Jewels could work with animals brilliantly.
Sixtyorso, would make a superb gentleman male escort.
Lazur as a model would seem to work.
Suggestions for my Fellow Hubbers Careers
Spryte. I can definitely see Spryte as a newspaper columnist, mainly because she could write such amusing and funny columns on a daily or weekly basis, using her alternative 'take' on life, and injecting laughs to counter balance the normal bad news that fills most pages of the papers.
Shadesbreath. I reckon Shades would be very at home as an observational comedian or after dinner speaker. I can just see him up on stage talking about all his day to day frustrations in life, such as bad service in supermarkets, pets etc.
Christoph. Well, our sexy cowboy may well already have had the perfect career with his acting abilities, and the look certainly suits him, but if I had to pick an alternative for him I would suggest a male model, as those good looks should not go to waste under any circumstances.
Gwendymom. With a glamorous appearance like Gwendy's, she should have been on TV in something like Dallas or Dynasty, so therefore I nominate her for the role of actress.
Mighty Mom. Easy, she could have been a motivational speaker, as her strength and patience would be an inspiration to anyone.
Countrywomen. Her gentle and considerate nature would make her the ideal counsellor or therapist.
sixtyorso. He would have been perfect as a male escort, (and I mean the real ones, not the gigolos!). Many wealthy single ladies will happily pay to have a smart and decent gentleman to escort them to private functions or out to dinner, engage them in witty and intelligent conversation hold doors open for them and drop them home at the end of the night unharmed.
Agvulpes. Tricky one this, but with his mischievous comments and his naughty banter, I can see him being the ideal chat show host. Willing to listen, and then fire in an amusing comment afterwards.
Lady Guinevere. She seems to me to be ideally suited to a job working with animals, such as a wildlife film maker, or possibly even a Vet. Her love of nature shines through in her comments, so she needs a role that requires passion and compassion.
Just Rodney. We already know he can take great photos, and I believe he used to do this for a living, so I would suggest he could have made his alternative career a wildlife photographer, or possibly a cameraman for films, TV etc.
Ananta. As our dear friend Ananta is always very devilish in his comments, and fast thinking, I could see him making a great barrister/lawyer. I bet he could outsmart and outwit the opposition.
Lazur. With her confidence and striking good looks she would make a great photographic model, or TV presenter.
BT Evilpants, What other job could BT possibly do apart from being a Jackalope? I guess if he ran fast enough he could run around greyhound tracks in place of the motorised rabbit they normally chase. I am pretty sure he would outrun and outwit them all.
Prgrundy, With her informative articles that are obviously very well researched, I believe she would be a perfect journalist or programme researcher.
AEvans Another very intelligent lady, excellent with people and has a great personality, so I can see her making a wonderful teacher or lecturer, as no doubt she could captivate her pupils just by being herself.
Trish. Being the sweet soul that she is I can see Trish working really well with children, possibly the handicapped or the underprivileged. Her warmth would bring light back into their lives.
Ajcor. I feel Ajcor would be great at writing humorous story books for children, or perhaps even adults. Again she would make a great newspaper columnist to cheer up those readers depressed by all the bad news in the world that tends to be printed first.
Jewels. I can see working with animals or children, as her kindness shines through. Perhaps a Vet, Nurse or Doctor.
Misha. A man with a great sense of humour, so my bet is that he too would make a great comedian, although I could also imagine him as a teacher because of his easy communcative style and way of bringing laughter into the lessons.
Well, I hope I haven't missed too many of you out, but these are just a few ideas of mine. You will no doubt have your own ideas too, either as to if you agree with me, or you feel you, or your fellow hubbers would be more suited to different careers altogether. Suggestions for hubbers not mentioned here are also very welcome.

Thanks Feline, I would probably have enjoyed being a journalist apart from having to cover politics. :)
Misty, Thank you! How sweet of you to think that I have a glamorous appearance. And me as actress, and on Dynasty, or Dallas, WOW!
Is their such a career as professional friend? I would pick you for that, You are so geniune and can be a friend to everyone, and I love you for it!
btw, you did a great job of career choices for people, as I was reading this I was nodding my head (laughing) and saying yep, that would fit them perfectly!
Hey, Thanks Gwendy, I could just see you battling wits with JR Ewing :) Thanks for the compliment too, a professional friend, wow, what a great job that would be. :)
Misty as career counselor!
Interesting and fun, hub. You're right though, most people don't end up doing what they want. I damn sure didn't. I did do a little stand up when I was young, but not long enough to get the bug for it. Life is weird though; we get dealt cards (cliché, I know) and we play them. I think part of the problem is we don't really figure out what we want to do until we're already half way through the game. And I think part of the process in finding that involves having tried (and eliminated) the things we did do, which, by its very nature, suggests that perhaps anything we do for a time loses it's appeal, therefore setting up something as as more appealing. Maybe. Maybe that's just justification from a guy who ain't a full time novelist yet.
Misty, I think I could take him. JR wouldn't stand a chance.
You would make a great professional friend, you already do the job, without pay.
Thanks Shades, awww, you will make a great novelist I am sure, and you so deserve to get published. My gut feelings are the jobs we enjoy the most are the ones we do for ourselves by choice rather than as employees. We tend to be more passionate about those, because at some point in time they 'pushed our buttons', rather than simply being an essential way to pay the bills.
Gwendy, I would back you all the way against JR. The professional friend is a fun job, but more like fun volunteer work than a bill paying exercise LOL :)
Bravo! Well done!
I think I would cast you on the same show with G-mom, tho. You, too, are too charismatic not to be on camera! Hey -- how about a new nighttime soap? "As the Hub Turns"? or "Hubland"?
Funny you should put me down as a serial columnist because I did that for a while and had a blast with it.
I never understand why some people make such a big deal out of "choosing your major" or knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life at the age of 17 or 18. Geesh! How on earth can you possibly make that decision when you haven't even had any real life experiences yet?
I've always thought that being a food critic would be a lot of fun...or a photo-journalist for National Geographic.
I see you working with animals...but in a unique way. Maybe a Matchmaker.com sort of company that places pets with people. :)
A very fun hub to read Misty and wonderful selection of careers you picked for your friends. I think the career that spryte picked for you as Matchmaker that places pets with people sounds perfect...how wonderful a job that would be. Thanks Misty for some more fun!
Nicely done, Misty! I can't disagree with any of your choices. I think you're right, too when you say that Shades will make a great novelist. :)
My friends say that I suit being a Socialite or a jet setter LOL Aahhh- the goood life! Yachting in beautiful St. Tropez, a weekend in Rome or a winter break in the Caribbean! I certainly agree with them. Nothing compared to my initial nun vocation when I was 15!
I reckon Miss Cindy would turn out to be a huge success if she had gone into acting or modelling if she looks at present exactly like how she looks in her profile picture. You look gorgeous in that picture Miss Cindy.
Mighty Mom, what a super idea, a hub soap opera with everyone here as the cast:)
Spryte, good job I put you down as a serial columnist and not a serial killer LOL! Seriously it wasn't a bad thought I had about you then if you have already done it before. I reckon the photo journalist for National Geographic sounds good too. :)
Dottie thanks for commenting. I reckon Spryte's idea for me is a good one too, only I probably wouldn't want to give up any of the animals to their new homes and would end up keeping them all :)
Thanks Shirley, glad you enjoyed the hub and my choices. I reckon Shades would be the perfect novelist and can't understand why he isn't already doing it full time. :)
Princessa, you were a nun!!!!!!????? I sure prefer the sound of being a socialite to that. If you ever make it to St.Tropez, Rome etc, please invite me along to visit :)
Ashwin, thank you, but I doubt I would make the grade, too short and too thin in general. My profile picture is about 10 years old now, but I can still look okay when I make the effort for going out etc, just got a bit lazy in recent years.
Thanks for all the comments everyone.
LOL... no I was never a nun, but I was so fed up of people asking me what I wanted to do after finishing school that I ended up telling to my career advisor that I wanted to be a nun LOL obviously everybody in my family was in shock!
You are invited anytime, I am only a short drive away from St. Tropez and we go every year to Italy and Spain for a couple of weeks. So next time that you feel like having a change just make your bags and come along, you might be discovered and start your acting career in Europe :)
Hi Princessa, that's a relief, somehow I just couldn't picture you as a nun all dressed in a black habit etc. Hey, I might just take you up on the holiday idea sometime. Sounds like fun, although can't see me being discovered as an actress somehow:) Thanks for the invite :)
Cindy- Iam sure you could be a very good lawyer, journalist, actress(as suggested to you) as all these involve excellent communication and presentation skills which you have in abundance. Its totally upto you what you really are passionate about. Thanks for the nice words about being a counsellor infact at one time I had so many guys in school being nice to me that some girls were upset with me getting all the attention...LOL
Thanks CW, I can just see you being there for anyone that needed your support. Also thanks for the compliments about me personally :)
You are welcome Cindy (so are you following your destiny's call)? Btw for Christoph I think an alternative career would be to become a Politician. He has the ability to relate to anybody, has the screen presence(Charisma) and an ability to pull the crowd towards him (just like as he does on his hubs with his warmth & temperament). I think if he ever decides to contest the Presidential elections we women would without batting an eyelid vote for him (atleast I would)....LOL
It is always interesting to see how others see you. I know that I would have chosen something different.
Misty I can see you as a world famous clairvoyant. I have always admired Michael Parkinson!
So move over Parky, I'm interviewing mistyhorizon the greatest clairvoyant in the world.
CW, LOL, no sadly, too late for destiny's call now as all the things I would really want to do, (apart from this), would involve many years more of college and further qualifications and training. Shame, but there it is. Love the alternative suggestion for Christoph, yep, he would make a great politician and he would get my vote too :)
RGraf, thanks for dropping in. I reckon a lot of us would have chosen a different career given our time again, which is a shame really, what a waste!
Hi AG, don't know about a clairvoyant, although occasionally I do get slight premonitions of small things that then happen, such as the telephone ringing, or knowing what someone is going to say and answering them before they say it, or simply knowing my cats are at the door waiting to be let in.
I am sure you would make a great 'Parky' though :)
It is never too late my dear. I am sure you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Btw would it be a good idea to have a hub with Christoph as the President, then Gwendy as the White house press secretary, Shades as the Secretary of State, Agvulpes as the VP, Ananta as the Defence Secretary, Spryte as the Treasury Secretary and so on....LOL
That would be really funny, why don't you write it CW. It would be like 'The West Wing' all over again :)
Yes, yes! I vote for CW writing the Cyber West Wing! If Christoph is the Prez, who is his first lady?
till laughing at Princessa becoming a nun. I briefly felt the calling -- right after I watched The Sound of Music for the first time (I think I was 7). LOL.
There you go CW, you may have started something here. I vote for Gwendy as First Lady, she has the image/avatar for it.
LOL MM, good job neither of you became nuns or this place would be starting to look like a convent :)
Oh my GAWD! A male model! Ha! Believe me I couldn't have been. I'll leave the modeling to you and Gwendy! And thanks, countrywomen, but I couldn't have been a politician because of all those skeletons in the closet! Still, it's nice that you see me that way. I'm flattered. Maybe I could have been a model who only doubled for politicians under death threats!
Thanks for the fun hub!
My first lady ofcourse would be Misty for her charm, class and humour.(Gwendy is too much of a diva for ordinary people to relate to)
Christoph- Don't worry about the skeletons in the closet (we as your campaign folks will manage and put enough flesh on those skeletons to come out of the closet and go around the world as the beautiful super models like Gwendy, Misty, Lazur, Princessa, oops forgot to add Spryte with her 5'10 frame....LOL
Only if you're my White House Spokesperson!
Aww Christoph, you would have been great as a model, and you needn't worry about the politician idea and skeletons in the closet, as that is perfectly normal for most politicians thesedays :)
CW, might manage the charm and humour, not too sure about the 'class' though with my warped sense of humour :)
Anytime anything for you Mr.President....hehe
You are a lass with a class My First Lady...LOL
(P.S: My first lady is already acting the part too aka Hillary forgiving Bill for his indiscretions calling it "perfectly normal")...hehe
Well let's see. We've had an actor as president already. I think the country is ready for a male model, especially one as suave and debonnaire as Christoph. Also love the idea of an international White House presided over by the lass with class (good one, CW!). Shadesbreath is the perfect selection as VP in the mold of ... well, certainly NOT Dan Quayle. LOL!
This is starting to sound quite fun :)
I agree MM(Christoph could charm all the ladies getting 50% of the ballot and the rest Shades will manage with his rhetoric), nothing would light up the White house like a classy lady with a British Humour.
(P.S: Now that one precedent has been achieved(Black President) we need another precedent an International First Lady aka French Sarkozy wedding Italian Carla)
I so agree with you. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't we assign a Dutch Secy of Defense also?
MM- I guess a dutch would be ideal so that others would also foot the war expenses in Iraq (what say wanna go dutch)?
Seriously, Does one have to be a Born US citizen or naturalized would do. I don't know but I thought for cabinet positions its ok (Aka Madeline albright the former secretary of state)
Now where is our Mr.President and First Lady already giving guest appearances or our Channel isn't to their liking...hehe
Sorry, been working on my new hub, but have published it now so free for twenty mins or so then must go to bed. I reckon Christoph has done a runner at the thought of having me as his first Lady, and I don't really blame him :)
I am sure we can expect our knight in shining armour wouldn't keep a lovely damsel like you waiting for long. Mr.President has the weight of the world on his shoulders....and will be here any moment..hehe (P.S: I happen to be appointed as his press secretary)
Excellent, sounds as if you are going to do a great job too LOL
MyFirstLady- Just trying to live upto the responsibility entrusted on me by Mr.President...LOL
I think Mr President is off with Monica somewhere right now, armed with a cigar :)
CW you are really on a roll today! I'm ROFLMAO over here! Going dutch on Iraq war expenses!!! Haven't seen hide nor hair of Christoph. He may be off writing his acceptance speech. But CW would be the one to know about that. You said he's on his way, ok. The world is waiting!
Now hold on First Lady don't let your imagination run wild. He is busy meeting world leaders and will call you as soon as the meeting is over (Btw he has ordered for some caviar and champagne for tonight's dinner)
Oh well, I might forgive him then and go off and get my hair done or something :)
Sure go ahead my lady. Btw Mr.President has ordered the boat man to standby for lakeside boat ride tonight (He sure understands the significance of full moon night for his beautiful wican)
Christoph is too nice to be president once he gets elected. But, I think I like the idea of Secretary of State over VP. So, let's get him in there, and and I'll be SoS. SoS has real power. Christoph can run around wooing chicks and doing interns and I'll freaking go tell some people how it's going to be now that the C-Dawg is in the villa de blanco, yo.
Moonlight. Caviar. Champange. And 25 Secret Service agents. Sounds romantic beyond belief!
LOL, boat ride sounds good, armed with champagne, but when does he get around to actually running the country???
See my post above, Misty. I got the country, you just get him in and then have your way with him.
Looks like Shades will actually be the one running the country then, are we doomed or what!!!
I'll get him in Shades, at least I will once I can find him!!!
Shadesbreath. it will be nice to have someone with cohones in the SoS role again!
Perhaps we should leave it to Prez-elect Reilly to pick his own VP. I hear Sarah Palin is available -- and has a wardrobe to rival any *real* Barbie's.
Ahh, there is one reason I can think of why Shades should be SoS, he has a great brain..... get it!
I hear ya, Misty. I'll try to make it look like anything I do well is an accident.
Shades- Glad to see our secretary of state back. Btw ever since the Monica fiasco the white house intern recruiting team has taken special care in filtering any female remotely attractive to presidential sensibilities.
MM- Ofcourse the 25 SS agents have been ordered to be out of sight (P.S: They are good at SCUBA diving with night vision periscopes) Btw since no interns now Sarah Palin as VP pick would be a "BIG RISK"..hehe
Misty oops First Lady a man's got to relax after running the world. He sure could do with lots of loving and relaxation to take on the world fresh the next day morning.
A thought. Since G-mom has been supplanted by Misty as First Lady, we need a position for her (no administration would be complete without Gwendy!). How about WHIP? I'm willing to bet she has her own.
Well...I guess since the people demand it...I ACCEPT! I will be my priviledge to woo women while Shades does the dirty work. That way, we know something will actually get done, on both fronts. Shades first rule is that all foriegn Ambassadors to to US must be HAWT ladies, to match the ladies already in the cabinet and on the Presidents staff.
I thought Gwendy was our press secretary?
And Christoph, dude, like, duh. You know I got your back, right? I wouldn't let skanky ho's represent the C-dawg presidency on my watch. In fact, I will do quality assurance testing before any of them get near you.
Nice one Shades :)
Won't the SS men's guns get wet underwater CW ??
Do the SS agents wear Speedos?
OMG Shades, we aren't even in the Whitehouse and no-one knows who is doing what job. sounds fairly normal to me :)
What about Spryte too??
I think our president needs to step up and get his cabinet together, or I'm going to be forced to do it for him while he does his own quality assurance testing on that intern he's groping right now... uh... C-dawg, the CBS camera still has an angle on you from there.
one million four hundred eighty three thousand and two...one million four hundred eighty three thousand and three...one million four hundred eighty three thousand and...(pauses to count on fingers)...four....
I want a different job. Can I be the spin doctor?
Ok. For Spryte, Attourney General.
MM- Didn't you know speedo has loaned michael phelps to SS for quick rescue team.
Shades - Well the President has entrusted that responsibility to me since Gwendy would be too attractive to be distracting to the real news broadcast.
Mr.President - Unfortunately after the keneth Starr committe recommendations any woman who is considered very attractive is excluded from presidential staff (too expensive for coverups)
I hope that intern is female then, otherwise it will be a huge scandal!!
You know, Spryte, I was just thinking that you really should be press secretary. Gwendy is too nice. You on the other hand I am certain can not only lie with a straight face, I think you would enjoy working the press and making puppets of the media.
A quick check above and you're correct, SoS. Gwendy is down as Press Secretary. It appears that CountryWomen is perhaps Chief of Staff to the First Lady (Misty). Spryte has been designated as Secy of the Treasury (I presume because of her accounting background). Still some cabinet positions to be filled -- but not by any *skanky hos* apparently. Well, that lets the rest of us out of contention!
Ok, Spryte is the Spin Doctor. Gwendy is Attorney General.
:)) I could...watch! I've been practicin'....(ahem)...
No comment.
:)
Pretty darn good, huh?
What positions are left now to fill?? Is there a Chief of Security for instance?
Mighty Mom needs a position.
How does sitting down sound LOL!!!
Actually, perhaps MM would make a good head of security.
Yeah, Spryte can't be Sec of Treasury. She really is the most manipulative of the entire group here. She has to be Press Secretary. No one is more suited to the job. I just can't see Gwendy or Countrywomen looking into the cameras and lying with a shit-eating grin as well as I know Spryte could.
Plus, can you imagine how hilarious Spryte's explanations would be?
"Uh, why did we nuke those three countries... uh.. well, the thing is, there was this uh... an alien civilization introduced a pathogen into that portion of the world... and we did what was necessary."
Is Chief of Staff taken?
Sprtye - "A penny saved is penny earned" well we know all about your penny saving instincts accountant...hehe. You would do a great job as treasury secretary.
Btw MM should be given an important portfolio (How about Energy (secretary) since she seems to have a lot of it)
Come on guys why is everybody after my portfolio first gwendy now spryte (although I won't mind being CoStaff of our Beautiful First Lady)..hehe
LOL! Thank you Shades...I think :)
Aggie is gonna need a job too.
Don't think so, any suggestions?
There's Rove's position which is/was Deputy Chief of Staff. That's the real "Spin Doctor" job. There's still VP.
I must admit I'm not up on my Executive Branch but will gladly look up who all makes up the cabinet. There are still lots of people who need employment in this scenario. Not to mention the Secretary of the Treasury which Spryte declined.
Are we appointing Supreme Court Justices also:-)?
Well, then, Countrywomen must have a suitable replacement position. What would you like to be, CW?
Shouldn't Christoph nominate his VP pretty quickly now he has been elected?
Isn't there a social secretary...the person that plans the president's agenda?
If there isn't...there should be. State dinners can be rather tricky...
As I said earlier anything anytime for you Mr.President (Your wish is my command)
Not sure, trying to remember from all those episodes of the West Wing I used to watch.
Misha will need a job too.
If VP is open, then how about Gwendy?
CW, be careful what you offer in case what he wishes for is not quite what you had in mind :)
Homeboy Security -- that's one that probably requires a hawkish attitude. I would suggest All Shook Up, but I think she's finally forgiven me and I dont' want her coming over here and getting all ACLU hates the Boy Scouts on me again...
We need jobs for Ag, Constant Walker, what about Misha (Secretary of Fashion?)...
Don't worry My lady with so much chaos around Misha the mischief-maker won't be far off.
Countrywomen would make a perfect VP, she's hawt, smart, and capable of handling a crowd... plus, she's reasonable too, so, if C-dawg gets assasinated, the country wouldn't be screwed having Countrywomen as pres.
Mark Knowles as Secretary of Defense!
Gwendy is Attorney General unless you are having a reshuffle.
How much you wanna bet Shades is googling cabinet positions right now?
And I second the motion...CW would be an awesome choice as VP.
I bet you are right Spryte :)
No, no. No resuffle. CW is VP then.
Agvulpes can be court jester.
Shades - Iam not sure of handling the crowd part (which I presume is your speciality). But glad I could make the grade to the cabinet.
Spryte - You are underestimating Shades photographic memory.
MyLady - I can't imagine a diva like gwendy in that role but whatever you say my lady
I don't need to Google them, there's only like 14 or 15 of them, and 8 or 9 of them don't count. lol
I wish I had a photographic memory. I have a memory that is painfully selective most of the time.
And, Country, you can handle the crowd just fine. If they get unruly... you got Spryte to step in and make them chill. Or me or Christoph (unless he's dead by an assassin's bullet, obviously, a real danger for the president.)
ACK!!! *takes one look at the appointments and runs away* No, serious ROFLMAO over here! This is fun! Had to see what all had happened, since my hubtivity pages are filled with this thread! ;) *doesn't want to be elected for anything*
(backspace, backspace, backspace, backspace)
That's EXACTLY what I thought!
Ok. Here are the Cabinet Level positions:Vice President, White House Chief of Staff,Office of Management and Budget, US Trade Representative, Environmental Protection Agency, Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Also the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General.
So we still have miles to go before we sleep (or the first couple get out on the boat for a little presidential hanky panky).
I'll leave the decisions to Mr President Christoph, or Shades if he is pulling the strings. :)
Mr.President we don't have a portfolio as court jester (unless you want to make USA a monarchy)
Oh...well we really have to have CJ Stone as our Officer of National Drug Control Policy....
You mean CJ can tell us which ones are best to try Spryte :)
You catch on fast Madam First Lady.... :)
*giggles* Darn, Cindy, you beat me to it! Good one, Spryte!
LOL Spryte... so basically, the Queen of Hearts gives the position of drug enforcement to the caterpillar. Very nice.
MyLady: This isn't an appropriate forum to reveal your personal weaknesses (The press may twist this into a big scandal)
No monarchy, we'll just call the position something else.
It's moments like this (all the refreshing) that make me realize why there are so often cries for a hubpages chat.
Shhh CW...we're being PROACTIVE! And that's what we will tell everyone. Nobody needs to know that the first lady every inhaled...and probably had a few brownies too...
Can someone who knows more about this stuff than I do please post a list of all the positions, and then the appropriate names by the ones which have been filled so far. It will make life a whole lot easier. :)
CW, they won't have anything to twist if spryte gets there with the story before they do.
Sure Mr.President the vacant post of CIA chief who gives us cooked up information about presence of WMD in Iraq.
Yes Spryte, you could say I was tricked into it, or it was purely for medicinal purposes :)
BT would make a great head of CIA...just a thought...or Homeland Security...
Actually I have made notes about your rather liberal upbringing in a foreign country and the fact that you were stranded on some island for many years with nothing but local flora and fauna to keep you company...
Just don't use the word spliff...
Excellent. The head of the CIA is agvulpes. His job is to make me laugh every morning.
Chris, is that "Comedic Intelligence Agency", then?
How about joint??
Uh...Mr. President... I was just thinking. The masses are going to want you to pick a white house dog. Might I suggest Nacho Dog....? All he needs is a green card and I'm sure he's white house broken.
Joint works...and bone would be acceptable too. We could always just point out that you have some rather kinky sexual habits (most foreigners do)and "smoking a bone" means something entirely different...
Or FEMA. During Katrina, that guy was pretty funny.
For Misty, here's the main stuff...
President: C-dawg
VP: .... not sure, either Countrywoman or Gwendymom or Misty (I confess to being lost).
Secretary of State: Shadesbreath

Good one, KT. Of course, Nacho Dog is the White House dog.
You know, much though I hate to leave you guys whilst we are having so much fun, I really need to go to bed now as it is after 04.00am here on my island of 'flora and fauna'.
Try to sort out the cabinet before I check in later, now there's a challenge for you all.
Mr President, put down that intern, there is work to do.
Night all, catch up in about 10 hours, (need the beauty sleep).
N'nite Misty :) Sleep well!
Thanks Shades, that does help.
Night Spryte, off for a 'toke' now :)
*puts a nomination for JustRodney for Sec. of Treasury in the box* Did you read his "jam jars" hub? He's got a good thing going there.
Oh no our information source (press secretary is leaving). So typical of washington politics keeping the rest of the folks in dark...hehe
Sure My lady take rest (Oh by the way hope the hair is done and don't forget that Music/Candlelight dinner with caviar/champagne ofcourse followed by the boatride). We all would like to see you both refreshed.
She sleeps in the Lincoln bedroom. Y'all ever meet Lincoln? Nice fella.
Oops, I meant "Just_Rodney" for treasurer.
What do you mean she sleeps. Where do you think you are allowed to sleep Mr.President (P.S: We made sure there are no attractive interns in white house)..LOL
Don't worry, bro, I snuck in some hawt security gaurds... you're all good.
The remaining cabinet positions seem really boring. Here are some White House staff jobs that sound more interesting (at least to me):
Speechwriter
Deputy Director of Comment Lines and Greetings
Confidential Assistant
Operator (gotta pick someone smooth for this job, eh)
Deputy Director of Student Correspondence
Deputy Director of Mail Analysis
Deputy Director of Proclamations
Senior Trip Coordinator
Correspondence Analyst
Invitation Assistant
Trip Coordinator (sounds like we got this covered with CJ Stone)
Gift Analyst
Shades - Make sure to use the memory erasers(MIB) on those guards and all the security cameras are off (Don't tell me I didn't warn you in case we have a scandal).
That's Spryte's problem if we have a scandal. That's the beauty of setting all this up. We can do whatever we want, Spryte will deal with it. It's a perfect plan.
Christoph can fondle whoever he wants; I can destroy whatever insignificant nation I want, and Spryte will spin it to make us look like we are doing good for all of mankind. It's awesome.
I promise I am not a member of the liberal media elite. Just a rank 'n file citizen interested in knowing. Where do you stand on the issues, Mr. President? What can we expect during your tenure as President?
CW: Keeping hawt chicks out of the white house is cause for immediate dismissal. Don't let it happen again.
ROFLMAO!
So I am a kinda lost - what is your offer? mischief-maker or secretary of fashion? Not that it makes any difference, just wanna know what I have to control, on top of education and circuses?
MM, the president is in a.. uh.. meeting with some of his, erm, staff. He asked me to tell you that he plans on spending all his energies focusing on extreme areas of interest to the American people. He is dedicated to solving critical issues with the most efficient and cost-effective means, and in ways that benefit the most people in the largest ways. He plans on championing measures that make women voters happy and that, uh, are the most conducive to that nebulous idea of the "pursuit of happiness" that our forefathers wished for all of us.
Uh.. anything beyond that you'll have to wait for Mister President or Spryte to fill in in detail. Thanks.
Where do I stand on the issues? Let's see. The issue of Playboy comes out about the 3rd week of every month. Then the issue of Hawt Hubchicks comes out shortly thereafter. On these issues, I am well read, giving them my utmost attention, so that I am fully prepared to handle any situation that may arise.
Btw Mr.President ever since Dick Cheney's tenure the Mr.President has to follow the VP dictates hence I hope you get the point( There you go Mr.President we have tough time guarding you from liberal media).
MM - Our Press Secretary will have a press release shortly on this issue. Mr.President was simply joking.
No, Misha, I think that's pretty much it for you... education and circuses.
If you will step into the Ovary Office, you will get the point.
Thanks for the policy update. Shadesbreath -- shouldn't you be out spreading democracy in the Mideast or something? Mr. President, I'm thrilled to see you following in the illustrious footsteps of my heroes JFK and WJC.
Interesting Hub! I have always fancied being an actress and have been part of several plays till college. I even got offers for a Movie and to be a model but my family being traditional did not want me to pursue such a Career. My friends say that i can bring a several emotions to my face without even talking and would make a better actress than most actresses of Hindi Seriels. However, I do not have any regrets when i look back.
Misha - I would like to elaborate on Mr.President's statement. The role is trying to understand the circus of whitehouse and transforming it in such a way to be education for the liberal media. Btw if you are appointed you will not be disappointed...LOL
I know I'll have to wait for the official Press Secretary to return, but... I have an urgent question for the Pres:
JFK had Marilyn Monroe to sing him "Happy Birthday." Who will do the honors for you?
MM - The President is engaged at the moment, looking into our nation's illiteracy issue...and a lot of it's back issues too. I'm sure that once he has finished his examination of crucial documents and gotten to the very core, the heart...the centerfold...he will be more than happy to fill us all in on the details.
Spryte - Psst hush hush (we have to get this pesky liberal media (MM) journo off our back maybe Shades can do something)
I'm sure you're training him to stay on message-- no matter how distracted he might feel.
Well, to sing me happy birthday, will be Amy Winehouse, if she promises not to be all sober and boring. And then Feist.
Thank you Mr. President, Shades, and CW. Now my task is as clear as never before!
MM, there are rumors going around the circus MrP will make a decision later tonight, he just has a short list for now, and you are in - congratulations! :)
Ooops - I was late, MrP spoke already :(
There goes our secret (our beloved Mr.President has too many attractions around for these distractions I warned Shades let me get hold of him now)... Come Spryte release a press statement before the issue blows out of proportion.
Hey now. I've been told I resemble Helen Thomas. But I ain't no liberal media plant. Just a concerned American.
Don't worry, Cw, with Spryte as Press Secretary, we can do whatever we want. I mean, worse case scenario, SPryte has to actually organize a media campaign to fix some PR image stuff. We're golden. This administration has free reign on the world.
We have a scandal? Where?
MM: If anyone thought you resembled Helen Thomas, then they resembled Helen Keller (we are talking about the elderly woman, aren't we.)
Sounds like somebody's got political capital and he's gonna use it. World, be afraid. As Ag would say, be vewy, vewy afraid.
Sounds like somebody's got political capital and he's gonna use it. World, be afraid. As Ag would say, be vewy, vewy afraid.
Sorry to interupt these proceeding, Mr President and first lady, but you have forgotten the official photographer, em em hint. Shouldn't he be charging around and following all taking photographs, passing on to FBI for sanctioning blackmail or cover up?
Now I can heave a sigh of relief that Spryte is back. Why is our Mr.President still dallying with beautiful women like Helen... (how many more coverups... Shades we are really pushing our luck...don't tell me I didn't warn you)
Shades was just_rodney briefed about his role (I somehow feel uncomfortable with his intentions)
We don't have a scandal yet, Spryte, but me and Christoph are trying to get one going, so just be ready is all.
CW, relax. You don't appreciate the power of an awesome media machine.
CW accused me of being a liberal media journo. Must be all the "gotcha" questions I've been posing. Amy Winehouse is a great choice. Love her All-American image!
Okay...good. I'll keep checking in. I'm supposed to be working on a hub...but this is a lot more fun.
Shades- I guess I can relax (One can't be too safe with our Presidential indiscretions though).
MM- I just have recieved confirmation that Amy winehouse is coming to the white house banquet charity concert for All American Grizzly bears rehabilitation program.
I just read in the National Enquirer that our president and secretary of state are lovers. If this is true, it's like soooo 2001. Can't you guys come up with a better scandal than that?
I am supposed to be working on a hub too, plus I am very tired due to all night meeting with the Mexican Ambassadoress, Chica (Bazoombas) Rodrigues regarding NAFTA.
CW, you need to understand something about American politics. The ability to generate the right spin in the media is the only thing that matters. We can do wahtever we want as long as our Dreamworks and Pixar people can show the rest of you what you need to see to remember how cool we are. That's why electing C-dawg isn't really what matters here. Spryte's charm is the secret to world domination.
(I'd work on a hub, but I got nothing... and I have no energy for another grammar hub, even though I have several more outlined.)
Yes. In the future, please direct all questions to...others.
Shades - I understand now (PS: Iam first term VP)...LOL
Ok peole, I have seen my name tossed around like a hackey sack and I guess I need to put my two cents in. I think I would like the job of Marilyn Manroe, The I can sing happy birthday to Christoph in the sexy and seductive manner. We all know how that all worked out. (wink wink at Christoph) Shades is right, I can't lie with a staright face, I am a really bad liar and even if I could actually pull off the lie, I would feel guilty and tell on myself anyway, I always do. Everything else looks great! Now I better go buy a white dress and dye my hair, maybe I might want to throw a few singing lessons in there too.
I'm afraid I am going to have to sign off (maybe I will check in later). I trust whatever decisions you come up with. Thanks!
Cancel Amy Winehouse!
Chris, don't leave me now. Dang it.
Sure Mr.President retire for the day. Its high time first lady must be anxious. Gwendy- Contact Shades for Presidential audience.
Gwen, I am not sure how proficient you are in pole dancing, you might want to get a lesson or two, my department offers them free of charge :)
Misha, believe it or not, I have dance on a pole before, after a few drinks of course. I might have said too much there, but that's ok, I danced for my husband and that makes it ok, I guess. Thanks for the sugestion Misha, I probably could use some lessons though, I'm no expert.
Ok, so who is First lady now? I'm confused.
Now you surely must be joking Gwendy. Ofcourse our gracious host Misty is the First Lady...hehe
Gwendy: It does seem rude to be leaving just as you arrive. Just a few more minutes.
OK Gwen, done deal, just pm me for locations and times :D
Oh - uh, yes Mr. president. Staff training Mr. President. Of course, you have my word...
There has been alot of job hopping on this hub and wasn't sure where I or anyone else was at anymore, I have been passed around like a joint at a pot smokers convention.
LOL It's all in your hands - make your mind and stick with it :)
I know. I'm not sure who is what.
Here is a PJ for our Circus Clown Misha? Why did the women apply lipstick on her forehead?
I won't keep you up too late Chris, I am about to go rape my husband, shh, don't tell him.
Thanks for sticking around though. You're a sweetie!
You've been busy tonight, huh?
Misha - Gave up okay here is the answer for the PJ- Why did the women apply lipstick to her mind? Simple....
She wanted to makeup her mind...hehe
OK OK that was a bad joke but that's what popped in my mind with your sentence.
Yes, I went to a banquet with my husband for his work, and it was boring. I live in the middle of nowhere and it was a 1 hour and a half drive one way. so it took up my whole evening.
LOL CW, you did not give me time even to figure out WTF PJ is! :D
Talking about being desperate :P
PJ is poor joke...LOL ( Our Presidential Circus Clowns have periodic exams and you just didn't make the grade....second exam will be conducted shortly)
Sounds like it. My day was a frustrating pile of doggy doo after 5 crummy hours of sleep. I'm exhausted.
what happened?
Hey-hey CW, you forgot I am not a clown, I am a clown MANAGER. That makes a difference, if you did not know :)
Oh, spent the day at my friends business trying to get a bug out of my computer. We did everything imaginable and still no luck. Started at 9:30 AM and didn't quit until after 6:00. Nothing earth shattering, unless you're me.
Oh Ok Iam willing to give the benefit of doubt. Ok here is another one- What is the difference between a woman and a postal stamp?
Something about licking?
I'm sorry, I had that problem about a year ago and had to erase my hard drive. it sucked. But on the bright side I haven't had a problem since.
I am afraid that is what I will end up having to do. Of course, the entire world is on my computer.
No Mr.President (Or were you dallying with Marilyn Monroe).
Gosh Misha How did you get into the Presidentail cabinet (or you have high connections I suspect now)
The answer is One is FEmale and another is MAILfee
(Another of my PJ's)
CW: That's pretty cute. I was going to say, Lick a woman and you actually get somewhere.
Yeah, that's tough. Of course I have a million discs of information that I saved pre-erase, and have never even used them since, but I know I have them if I need them.
OK, CR, I am going to have to go, My pills are kicking in and I am fading fast. Thanks for sticking around. I will try to be on here tomorrow. Nighty night CR, Misha, CW! Sweet dreams!
Good night, Sweetie! Have fun ravishing your husband.
Good night everybody it was really fun the whole role playing.
oh, I will! Thank you again, sweetie!
Good night Misha and CountryWoman. CW - you did a great job keeping everybody in order! Good night!
Yes Mr.President oops force of habit..hehe Goodnight and hope your computer is fixed (we don't want any national top secret leakages)...LOL
I'm out too. If Gwendy is a joint, I'll bogart her with too much wet lips and a long deep breath before handing her back to Christoph.
Night CW, night Gwendy, night Christoph.. night whoever else is left.
Night everybody :)
*scratches his head - fe-male... male-fee... - whateva!*
Good Night Misha/Shades.
Btw when we speak it sounds better fe male and mail fee..
Another of my PJ's
just teasing :)
sweat dreams :P
Night everyone :)
*hugs*
Damn, you all go to sleep and I get here. I gues i had better be secretary of the treasury. because it seems like I am the Lone Ranger (Loan arranger). Alternatively based on Misty's career choice for me I should be her intern (if she becomes First Lady).
BTW has anyone told BT that he lost the election and there is a new guard taking over right here on this hub!
You heartless bunch. At least a polite 'screw You" to BT would have been nice!
Come one guys be gracious in victory.
So in my absence I see I've been made "Joint court jester of the CIA"
Ok as most rumours come from the CIA heres one from over a Joint.
Who was that man wearing a stetson (with the initials "PePe") seen stealing into a certain ladies (initialls MM) house. He was carrying an arm load of something looking suspiciously like rubbing oil? (and was he wearing speedos?.)
just can't wait for the Paparatsy photos!
(this is an anonymous post)
Sixtyorso- I feel so bad to keep you stranded without any company. I guess to compensate for that loneliness Misty has suggested you to be the Gentlemen Escort(Ofcourse you are too much of a gentleman to ever hurt a lady)...hehe
I like the play of words "Lone Ranger (Loan arranger)".
Btw do let us know what portfolio you prefer as there are still some positions vacant.
Here is a list of open position in the cabinet from Shades:
National Security Advisor: ... none
Attorney General: we beat it around,but no conclusion
Secretary of Energy: none
Secretary of Treasury: unclear
Secretary of Commerce: no one
National security advisor: we talked about it...
Secretary of the Interior: we have none
Secrtary of labor: none
Department of Justice: none
Detp. of Transporation: none
Dept. of Human Services: none
Homeland security: none
Veterans affairs: none
Dept. of Urban development: none
FBI: none
CIA: none
Have a great day ahead. Bye take care.
I think Justice because at the moment I can't get any justice between work and play and the time zone differences (LOL) only kidding!
Ag Don't wish for something you may just get it!
Don't worry about me, sixty. I haven't lost anything. I knew we would never see a jackalope president, so I constructed a very lifelike human analog, in my bunker. I named him Barack...
You all clearly need at least one ambassador to somewhere. After giving it some thought, at least 2 minutes worth, I've compiled a short list of places that I'm very qualified to ambassadorize:
1. France: I love french bread and my daughter is in her first year of learning how to speak French, so she can translate simple phrases for me.
2. Italy: Italian food is my favorite, and I have one Italian friend.
3. Switzerland: I have a few ancestors who were named Hans.
4. Blue Ridge Mountains: I was born in the mountains, I wrote a hub about it, and I can hook you up with some really good moonshine.
5. Florida: I'm way cool with a phallic shaped state.
My qualifications speak for themselves. Now it's up to you. :)
*Humble bow*
OMG, I woke up today to over 108 posts on this hub, all of them frickin brilliant. It has taken me half an hour to go through them all, and I am still laughing.
Pam I just love your list of reasons for being Ambassador to various countries, perhaps we should ask Shades and Christoph where they recommend for you once they turn up again.
sixtyorso needs a definite position in the cabinet, so possibly Department of Justice is a good choice as he has suggested, unless anyone else has other ideas. Alternatively 'Veteran affairs', I'll leave you guys to work out why I reckon this one might be suitable for him!
BT, we really must find a position for BT, perhaps FBI, as he can sneak into all kinds of small places to listen in on conversations.
We need a new breakdown of who is who now. Poor Gwendy isn't sure what her job is now as she has been passed around to so many new positions!!!
Oh, and that Lincoln Suite sure was comfortable, not sure who that intern was that Mr President brought back though, but I know it was a bit of a squash in the bed.
I've got gas today...I don't recommend any press conferences unless we wish to clear them out fast.
Just thought I'd share :)
Don't share the gas though :)
Shades, I know if you got a hold of me first you would ruin me for all other men.
Sixty, I think you would make a darn good secretary of the treasury or Misty's intern, whatever you choose I am sure you would be great at. We sent a female Jackalope for BT, I think he will get the message.
AG, joint court jester for the CIA, LOL!
I think Pam deserevs the job based on her qualifications.
Gotta go do some shopping now, but will check in again a bit later to see how things are developing :)
Spryte, you blow me away every time :) :) :)
See you later Gwendy, then you can tell me how exactly you know that 'Shades would ruin you for other men'. Did you see the photos??
Photos? What did I miss?
Misty, I could tell you, but you'll have to have cleared through top secret security first.
Thanks Misty, and I'm happy to wait for a majority vote. If nobody thinks an ambassador is necessary, then no hard feelings. :) I have duplicates of my resume handy for other presidents, queens, and dictators. lol! Thanks for the fun hub Misty.
Thanks Gwendy! :) I don't like bragging about my qualifications, but sometimes it's necessary. ;) I think you would make a lovely Marilyn Monroe.
LOL Spryte! I happen to have a couple bottles of Bean-O in case I'm called upon to ambassadorize Italy. ::::::::passing you a bottle:::::::::
Pam Roberson: As you know, Ambassadorships are handed out like candy during Halloween, in exchange for some service provided for the President. What service do you plan on performing.
Misty: Please do be careful how you talk about Gwendy. You said "she has been passed around to so many new positions." I am not quite sure what you mean.
Ha! And I thought admitting to my intestinal issues was bad...but Gwendy's problem is FAR worse. Careful Gwen...remember what Shade did to Mr. Bunny?
And soooo sorry Misty. Didn't mean to blow you away... :) Standing behind me is just sorta dangerous at the moment.
Thanks for the beano, Pam. Does it work retroactively? :)
Chris, thanks for sticking up for me. I hope I haven't been passed around to so many different positions.
Spryte, your right, my problem is worse, if you keep up with the gassyness you won't have to worry about that problem. I amnot afarid of Shades. I have back ups.
Christoph, I mean Mr. President, I would be honored to service you. Wait, I mean perform a service to you. Ah geez, I mean be of service to you.
My service performing is vast and unusual, and I'm sure you'd be quite amused. However, if this should not be the case, which I highly doubt, then I will happily recruit some incredibly hot women from any country, state, or mountain of your choice, and rally them to you to perform any presidential type services needed.
*humble bow to the Prez*
Just like him. My Lady has gone shopping and the Mr.President is soliciting Presidential favours. Now Shades is there no screening for Presidential audience.
Pam-Glad to see new additions in the cabinet. Although just like most of us we are not sure of your portfolio or maybe no official portfolio that we are aware of besides Mr.President...hehe
Sprtye/Gwendy- Well as the Air Canada slogan says we may need "a breathe of fresh air now"...LOL
Gwendy I heard you were very 'flexible; in different positions, at least that is what Mr President told me. :)
Spryte, try charcoal tablets, they will work every time. You think you have gas problems, I am making a Guernsey Bean Jar tonight, and that is full of haricot and butter beans plus meat!!
Pam, I am shocked, you do realise I am the first Lady don't you??? I may have to insist on you being sent overseas to protect Mr President from any further scandal.
CW, Back from shopping, now cooking, but will check in later to make sure Mr President and Shades are behaving themselves. Keep an eye on all of them for me would you, and just remember, don't light any matches near Spryte :)
Misty great hub - I have been missing in action and so much is going orf!!! On topic but off current beam - your work choice for me as a *journalist* would have been spot on if I had followed my path! It was what I wanted to do. That or interior/set design. You could have been a psychologist as you are such a keen observer of human nature.
I wondered if the National security advisor position was taken - Can I apply?? I like the idea of leavers and motor bikes and secrets!!!!! big secrets.
Thanks ajcor, glad I am proving to be fairly accurate so far. I would have probably enjoyed being a psychologist if I had given it a try.
Better check with Shades and Christoph as to National Security advisor, but I don't think it has ben taken yet :)
thanks Misty - re. the Guernsey Bean Jar tonight, and that is full of haricot and butter beans plus meat!! - sounds like a cassoulet? - if so don't share with Spryte - best not add to her little methane problem!
Ajcor - As of our last cabinet meeting the National Security post is vacant. Sure you can apply (ofcourse we are trying to protect the President from the pool of the Presidential applicants who happen to be very attractive)...We can't allow Presidential Distractions with these attractions...hehe
My Lady - Glad you are back (had a tough time controlling Mr.President and Shades...boys will be boys..) hehe. Yes My lady my only desire is to keep your "Match" intact with the President but Shades is being the spoilsport by his Match making skills in arranging inappropriate people (like PAM) Presidential Audience.
Didn't you know the new interrogation methods devised by CIA was to place them in close proximity at the rear side of spryte(Heard its more successful compared to even waterboarding)....LOL
Oh Misty, Ms. First Lady, I'm so sorry if I gave the wrong impression. Of course I was talking about my vast and unusual typing skills...yea, that's it....typing. ;)
And I should also apologize for that bow I took earlier, I was facing backwards. *blush* Silly accident.
As JCJCIA I'm taking spryte down to Gwentomino Bay to develop her as a weapon for info extraction on interlopers like that Barak impersonator up yonder.
Ve do Huf vays of making you gag!
What a shock. All the boys are away. And the women ... as usual... are hard at work.
I was not aware the First Lady is allowed near the White House kitchen. But isn't it sweet of you to fix a dish as quaint sounding as a Guernsey Bean Jar! Or is it perhaps payback for the president poking around in another kind of jar (a honey pot?).
Spryte: Good job with the elite liberal media journos this morning! Bet they won't be asking YOU about WMDs again anytime soon, eh?
Pam: As you angle shamelessly for the National Security Adviser (Advisor?) position, try to model yourself a little more like Kissinger and a little less like kissing ass, ok:-)?
Gwentonimo Bay -- Good one, Ag!
Gwentonimo I thought spryte is right for the CIA... I guess we need to have a consensus or maybe Gwendy and Spryte can operate in shifts or maybe there are too many around there to be investigated for both to be operating at the same time.... Too many possibilites.... too few cabinet members active to take national security decisions....LOL
I see spryte has already embarked on her reign(rain) of terror, check out this report:-
http://www.theage.com.au/national/gasleak-estate-t
She must be stopped before she gets out of control!
Thank you Countrywomen, Ms. Chief of Staff to the First Lady (is that right?). May I call you CW? Sorry I missed your comment earlier, and I totally understand your concern about my portfolio. Hmmm, it's like this...I lost it. Yes, I lost it when I was pole dancing with Gwendy. Honest mistake, and believe me, I won't take my portfolio with me when I go pole dancing again.
However, maybe this will ease your mind...regarding my Switzerland qualifications, I also use Ricola cough drops religiously.
I should also say that I think you're doing an outstanding job considering what you have to work with. ;)
Spryte, sorry, I don't think the Bean-O is retroactive. :( But it appears that your problem is coming in quite handy for top secret interrogations. You go girl!
Pam- Being Chief of Staff for My lady (you and me are "poles apart")
Ag- Didn't know spryte has attained international reputation and has been loaned out to perform service for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS)now ..hehe
CW, Spryte is now officially our weapon of mass destruction, at least until the gas wears off :)
Pam, I have heard all about your typing skills!!! I was told you were very good with your hands.
AG, I am sure Spryte will more than adequately achieve her mission.
MM, Love your last comment to Pam re-Kissinger LOL :)
CW, let's hope the rest of the Cabinet turn up later :)
Mighty Mom -- ROFLMAO!
Note to self: *less ass kissing, more kissinger crap*
G'day Pam just wondering, was that gwen, you and your portfolio I saw last night, poledancing. On the same pole. I'll have to talk to Mr Pres about this :-[)
Hello agvulpes, um, yes that would have been me and my portfolio, but I can't speak for gwendy. :X So you're my witness...I really did have one till it slipped right out of my hands in the middle of a pretzel twirl. Pssst, about telling the Prez, I think he was there too - with sun glasses on, smoking a cigar. Shhhh.
First Lady, thank you for mentioning my hand talents. :) lol! ;)
Pam was that the guy in the speedos? With the 600 security guards?
Ag, what were you doing in a pole dancing club for that matter????
My lady I need to go for weekend grocery shopping and hope you can take care of the household in my absence..hehe
I shall do my best CW, catch you later :)
I just reread the entire thread because my memory is like Swisss Cheese. According to the above, Ag is our CIA head. Inexplicably, his one and only task is to make President Christoph laugh each morning.
And Sixty prefers being head of Justice so he can get some -- justice, that is. Anyone got a problem with that?
Pam is awaiting her Ambassador appointment.
I would like to put in my bid to be head of the FBI. My dad was an FBI agent for awhile (before us kids came along). We had a pic of J. Edgar Hoover hanging in our family room. Further qualifications: I have my own Glock and my favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs. In fact, I prefer to be called Clarice.
Sounds good to me MM, but what are we doing with BT ??
I don't know what job would be best for Mr. Evilpants. I saw reference to the fact that he supposedly lost the election. I must have missed the campaigning and voting -- did he actually run against CR? If he did, then he is obviously of the opposing poliltical party and thus will have to wait 4 years (or whatever we decide the presidential term is) until the position comes up for election again. Alternatively, the president has the discretion to appoint him to any position he chooses. Now that we are filling ambassadorships, that might be the way to go with BT. Ambassador to Wonderland (?).
I am not keeping track of cabinet appointees. I assume someone on my staff is doing that (along with everything else.)
Pam: It is my understanding you want to be an Ambassador. Based on your qualification, you're hired! Pick a country, any country.
Countrywomen: You are taking your job to levels not authorized, what with attempting to enforce the first ladies archaic rules of presidential behaviour. You are like that God with all the arms, sticking them here and there. Wherever I try to sneak...uh...go in the White House, there is one of your arms. Why don't you take your arms and go help the first lady in the kitchen.
OOOOOOhhhhhhhh, that's fighting talk Mr President :)
MM: Go ahead and write yourself down for FBI director. You look better than J. Edgar Hoover did in a dress.
Good morning mr president erect! sorry, elect!. how are you and your first lady and 600 security guards this morning? Did you enjoy your sleep with those helicopters buzzing around all night.
And was that cigar to your taste Mr Pres?
I thought the bedroom seemed a little crowded!!
If CW doesn't object, I may have to change my avatar to Devi, the Indian Mother Goddess. I could definitely use 10 arms:-)!
Well, you'll certainly win the 'arms race' if you do :)
misty I thought you knew me well enough by now to know that I would do complete and thorough research on any position that I assumed. Oh and I only read the articles too?
If this hub is not testiment to the need for a forum I don't know what is. Who is the Communications Minister? Noting also that many hubs by this group are hijacked by friendly and necessary conversation.
I was going to respond to the intial subject of the hub, but it's totally irrelevant at this point!
Misty - You always win any contest "hands down" with your humour.
MM - Sure you can be a Devi. I agree our President is quite a handful. You may need all hands on the deck to keep him in check. Btw welcome to FBI ( I read on a t-shirt somewhere it says Female Back Inspector) hope you keep our President from taking that kind of intonation.
Ag- Don't you know white house is a NO SMOKING ZONE?
Mr.President - I take orders only from My Lady (ofcourse requests from you would be considered)
Jewels - Communications Minister who is incommunicado so far or maybe you believe truly in "Speech is silver and silence is golden"..hehe
*look of shock* Yes, Ag, I do believe he was wearing speedos. In fact all he was wearing were speedos, a cowboy hat, sunglasses, boots, and a cigar. I think it was a cigar. :/ The 600 security guards is what gave me a clue regarding his identity. Hmmm.
MM, Clarice, gets my vote for head of FBI. The Glock, Silence of the Lambs, JE Hoover, that's all the makings of a super FBI chief. Plus she was able to see straight through my secret plot to obtain the position of National Security Advisor. You're good Clarice. Very, very good. Quid pro quo Clarice. I think you know what I mean.
countrywomen it wasn't the cigar that was alight, from what I hear the cigar was well and trully extinguished? :-[O
Sorry, Pam. Did you say something Latin? I can't hear you with all these ewes baahing in my ear.Shut up you damned ewes!!! Was it something about fava beans? I think the First Lady could use some for her Guernsey casserole.
Okay AG, I'll take your word for it this time!!!!
CW, Nice to see you back again from topping up Mr President's condom supply as requested (can't risk another baby like the avatar of himself he used to use).!
MM, Can't risk any more beans, starts to become hazardous when you are around smokers afterwards :)
OK I'll say it!
MM you bought up my favourite song by the seekers. "There'll never be another ewe"
Pam, "Quid pro quo" something like "show me yours and I'll show you mine"?
*ducks in for a peekaboo*
Figures...I actually do some work today (on my hub) and what do I come back to? And now!! Well now my darling husband wants to take me out to dinner. Going to Fridays...for BUFFALO WINGS!!! You know what that means? That's right...an intestinal refill.
Seriously though...I'd pass up dinner just to hang out in our pseudo forum. I'll catch up with you all later. In the meantime, have some fun filling out the poll on the hub I just posted. Curious about astrology numbers :)
TTFN
Catch you later Spryte, enjoy your dinner :)
How astute and on target! I was going to be a nurse and my second was a Vet. I ended up being a Stay at home mom and now I am Home-maker who is expecting her first grandchild in a month! I have had lots of nursing andvet care in my life as I have had two daughters and many kinds of animals to take care of. I do like taking pictures now too--who knows what the next half of my life will include.
Thanks LG, so far my guesses are going rather well, nice to know I haven't broken the trend :)
Quid pro quo I think is the motto of the mutual calamari society. Show me your squid and I'll show you mine!
Gonna to check out Spryte's new hub!
MM, you must be 'squidding' !!
Excellent hub! Very thought provoking. In the 4th grade I decided I wanted to be a writer. I'd like to say I never yielded, but I spent a year and a half in engineering before switching to English. Veered off course again - had a brief job at a bank and another at a credit card company. In 2002 I took the leap to be a freelancer and never looked back.
My friends and family expected I'd become a writer. They saw that I loved to write and that I was good at it. I'm one of those rare ones who ended up doing what I wanted and what people expected.
Thanks for commenting Katherine, you are definitely one of the lucky ones who made their dreams a reality. :)
ok I am so upset!!!!!!! It appears that I have been gazumped for the NSA position by Pam or MM who appear to have really superior qualifications - silence of the lambs,glocks, etc so that leaves me to bid for Homeland Security - but that's alright this a no glamour job just sheer power on the people no, no, that should read power to the people!
My lady I am back from the groceries shopping. Yes I did think of going directly from OVAL office to groceries then took a detour to my appartment (Btw lady Shhhh we don't want Presidential Indiscretions to be out in the open)
Spryte - After the Australian secret service mission seems to have exhausted her ammo and has gone for refills (guys watch out for the recharged spryte attack esp for Ag's the Kangaroo if he is hearing me)..Now don't tell me I didn't warn you.
Ag- I sure hope there is no smokescreen or attempt to put the merino wool over our eyes. The new administration is taking a new direction that is we can pally with Cubans but not their export cigars.... Hope you keep that in mind.
MM: I agree My Lady that she is Kidding (I guess she is taking her job at FBI too seriously and keeping us in the dark)
Ajcor - Homeland security is really cool (Besided getting to hear all the cool private conversations of everyone including the President but Shhh no revealing the details)
I suspect we have been abandoned CW LOL, I can hear an echo!!
Now My Dear Lady don't worry I will send out special forces to track the President he must be around in one of the 132 rooms in White house. Have patience and meanwhile how did the new recipe turnout (with which you wanted to impress the President)
LOL, it's still cooking CW, takes about 8-24 hours depending on how good you want it to taste. The longer the better. I have actually got the recipe as one of my hubs if you decide to give it a try. You can use either, pork hock, beef shin, or both. I use both and it is truly delicious and very cheap to make :)
What 8 hours are you using the crockpot in that case here is a good recipes link check it out : http://hubpages.com/hub/Crockpot-Easy-Recipes?comm
Btw that reminds me I also ought to do some cooking (also Presidential instructions was to spend some time in Kitchen)...hehe
I am doing two batches, one in a crock pot / casserole dish in the oven on a very low heat, and the other batch in the slow cooker set on low also. Tomorrow I shall amalgamate the two into one large pan ready for bonfire night. It is like a thick warming soup/stew, gorgeous :)
Night Night all, gotta go to bed now. Catch up tomorrow :)
OK then rest My Lady. Take a big leap into deep sleep.....LOL
Great for them, but I had to take my own path...What ever worked or didn't work. was for them not me...http://hubpages.com/hub/NoMoreBarackObamaJokesPlea
Great hub! Lots of great information. Wish you the greatest success.

Where's my cabinet? Where's my staff? Wheres my White House? Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted. Lets Party!
LOL! I can't...you have relegated me to housework, you fiend!
Wow! it took me five whole minutes just to scroll down here, never mind reading it all, geeze!
Misty, thanks for that thought. I can honestly say nobody has ever suggested anything to me. However, I just asked my daughter what she thought, and she said author, since I read so much and I'm a 'good writer' (her words). Or, she said, an English teacher lol,,,very interesting.
Fun hub Misty!
Oops just when I applied for the chef job you all chicken out on me. hi guys.
Great hub have fun
Juliet- Mr.President really digs "chicks" so don't worry you don't have to chicken out yet (ofcourse you may end up causing further anxiety to me on behalf of My first lady)...LOL
i'll just live in this big ol' white house by myself. I think I'll take a dip in the pool.
Ofcourse if Mr.President is by himself in the pool I have no issues (Btw I will be keeping an eye for any whirlpools)..hehe
At least Mr President has now reappeared, I was starting to worry he had been abducted, along with his 600 security guards :)
Thanks for popping in Trish, glad you enjoyed the hub. :)
Whew, who farted in here? Oh, sorry Spryte.
Ok, so what Jobam I doing and what is going on with everyone else? Why is the president unattended? Where is the secret service?
Ok, I think I will take a dip in the pool too.
Oh? It was a pool? I thought it was a jacuzzi with all the bubbles I had going. :)
The gas has passed (literally)...thank you very much! I'm now sitting here with my hand wrapped around a Starbucks Venti Vanila Latte enjoying my afternoon. How's everyone else?
Fun hub Misty:D. Another hub with hubbers in it:D:D
I seem to have missed it the last few days:D I only did one presentation for local TV, but it didn't really work for me, because I had to say things I didn't wanted to. My school teacher always tought I should go to art school, I just wanted to be in the army (to become a doctor) or become a nurse:D
Glad you enjoyed it Lazur. Shame about your TV career, I reckoned you would have been perfect, but can understand why you wouldn't want to say things you weren't comfortable with.
Hi gwendy and Spryte, Just got back to the computer after a hot bath and an hours TV. Now perched happily with my can of cider and ready to do some work.
Glad the gas passed Spryte :)
Gwendy, I think the President has run away with Shades, (I always thought there was something funny between those two). Apparently he dumped Misha because he didn't like his taste in lipstick!
Misty, You are an absolute gem and thank you for placing me in this article, interesting I have always wanted to teach and this spring Iwill be teaching a couple of classes in Biology. What would I have done without you, as you know me well considering we are miles apart. :)
Thanks AEvans, I have actually been really amazed at how accurate some of my instincts have been on my friends alternative careers here. I am sure you will be perfect as a teacher, and Biology was always one of my favourite subjects. Good luck :)

Great hub Cindy...you're a good observer of people and their foibles...you'd make a good journalist too!
