A co-worker e-mailed me about a project he was working on. He asked if there was anything that I wanted. I told him that I didn't know anything about the project, so, nope... no special requests. He responded by asking if there was anything in general that I wanted.
Well...
Now that you mention it, there are a few things. I would like:
- a year's supply of vegan chocolate chip cookies (fresh baked on a weekly basis)
- another cup of coffee (fair trade with organic cream and sugar)
- seven weeks paid vacation per year
- to wear jeans and runners to work every day
- arrangements made for me to bring my dog with me (a simple bed beneath my desk would suffice)
- a new iMac on my desk
- a new iPod so as to drown out the din with music of my choosing
- to begin work at NINE in the morning
- to end work at FIVE in the afternoon
- two new roommates (good ones, please)
- a dishwasher for my home
- a new washing machine for my home
- money in my bank account and the ability to leave it there
- a new muffler for my car
- a new political system (one that satisfies everybody all the time)
- time and motivation to work on my novel
- all seven seasons of Buffy on DVD
- the ability to be funny whenever I choose
- faith that can move mountains (and anything else that gets in my way)
- a super-power or two would be nice, while we're at it
