I keep a cubicle warm too while I manage a couple multi-million dollar vendor relationships and try to keep all the Dilbert-esque masses happy.

I would have much preferred to stay in Forestry - I worked for the USFS seasonally for 7 years through high school and college.

But...you can't make a good living on seasonal, hourly work.

Then again, I plan to hang up the corporate hat on my 50th birthday and retire to my land 30 miles from the Grand Canyon South Rim where I can hopefully get another one of those seasonal jobs working in the park, or for the Kaibab National Forest nearby. I'm hoping for the good fortune to come full circle like that.

I also dream regularly of being a Powerball jackpot winner.
