The Friday Five

[sophinisba]

Okay here is another post! Through sasha_feather I just found the comm thefridayfive, which posts five questions for you to answer in a post every week.

1. What would you do if you won the lottery?
So I read the article What should you do if you win the lottery? Start a foundation. on Vox last year and I know it's meant as criticism of the way foundations work in US tax law but to be honest I'd probably try to do that, but give myself a smaller salary than is suggested there.

I think I'd also try to keep a version of my current job but like, without the sucky parts of it? I don't want to go into the details in an unlocked post and idk it's possible but that's something I think about fairly often. A colleague of mine did that her last year before retiring: just the fun stuff. Just the stuff we thought this job would be when we got into it.

2. What era do you wish you had lived in?
I do not wish to have lived in a past era but like sasha_feather am interested in the future.

3. What kind of robot would you want?
I expressed a lot of my robot sex feelings my Morgana/Lancelot fic Reset, which feels a little weird to say because Morgana is in a really terrible place in that fic, but I guess that's part of it, I would have really mixed feelings about having a robot (especially if I were in love with Gwen and Gwen had left me for my brother). Also I would really like to have a robot that could kill bugs for me, like Morgana does in that fic.

4. What would you outsource if you could?
I would like it if someone else would kill bugs in my house and keep the floor clean. I can handle most of the other cleaning. There are parts of my job I wish I didn't have to do but I also can't really see giving them to anyone else, alas.

5. What superpower do you wish you had?
I do not wish to have any superpowers but I wish that my body worked and felt more like it did about 10 years ago. I would like to be less tired, and for my stomach and knees and toe not to hurt.

My roommate and I are experimenting with hiring someone to clean the floors of our apartment. I'll probably post about how it goes!

Don't I hear you about... all of these but especially the last. My joints hurt every night and every morning. I am so annoyed by that.

I used to want telepathy but then I learned to read micro expressions and now I don't want to know how anymore.

Oh gosh, I wish all jobs were like that.

My job without the sucky parts would be wonderful. People can be utterly horrible, I love the admin side of my job and the customer service bit would be great if people were nicer!
