[Raak] Now all you need is a dial-under-the-base telephone, an Astro-lamp aka Lavalamp, a golfing umbrella, a weather balloon and some fishing line to tie it to your ankle and you are done (I assume you already have a suitable blazer). If I were any more envious of you I'd turn into a seethe. Will you be constructing a pit c/w hydraulic lift so you can rise from the mysterious Stygian depths seated in your magnificent chaise-ballon when greeting "guests"?

Adding amusement to cutting the lawn by mowing geometric shapes - before cutting them too.
Lifting lumps of iron up and down.
[Bismarck] I am planning to mow a fan pattern from one corner of my lawn. I may try to post a picture if it works. This may happen tomorrow, but is more likely to wait a week, as I have quite a tight schedule tomorrow, and the extra faffing about won't make me popular at home.
[Raak] So you work a magnet crane in a scrapyard now? Cool! Third best real person job in the universe. My research shows the following, as judged by reported job satisfaction and the number of people saying "I always wished I could do that" when the subject of what one does for a living comes up in conversation at a party:

Bestest Real Person Jobs In Universe:
  1. Fire Engine Driver
  2. Train Driver
  3. Crane Operator


Worstest Real Person Jobs in Universe:
  1. Old Guy in Computer Support Department
  2. Lecturer in Hard Sums at University
  3. Gong Farmer
I'm obviously discounting jobs like Astronaut and Billionaire from the list on account of real people don't get to do those.
