I know what job I would like, but to know what I’m talking about you almost need to have seen the show Criminal Minds.
The [sometimes] red-head there, Penelope Garcia … who does all the computer stuff — that’s the job I want! Especially, had I been born later and hence been more knowledgeable about computers and networks.
This doesn’t mean that I would like to be like Penelope’s persona … it’s her job I’m after! 🙂
It appeals to me for many reasons. It’s fast paced — I used to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie — and I would get to work in a ‘digital environment’, so to speak.
Sometimes, I think a certain amount of stress can be good when you work — not too much, though.
This crime show always has exceptionally gruesome crimes/murders and it’s nothing for the faint of heart. Normally, it wouldn’t be my type of show but somehow I like it … I guess it’s the team, the human interactions that make it interesting to me. The first, main, character they had there … Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) even quit the show, partly due to the gruesomeness of it all. There are times when I wonder what it’s like inside the heads of the people who write all this stuff up?! Did they dream it all up, or is it based somehow on reality?! I don’t know… Some of the episodes are so far out so it seems impossible that someone could fantasize them.
Another time, I’ll write about my most dreaded job. There are many that I dread, but there’s one that stands out like a beacon. This was a topic suggestion by WP long time ago. I had saved it for a rainy day and today IS a rainy day.
If you haven’t seen the show I hope you’ll follow the two links … otherwise it makes no sense at all.

Like the new look! My daughter wants to be Abby on NCIS…the two characters have certain traits in common.
I watch it, the odd time and yes, they do have certains traits in common…
Hi,
I’m a Criminal Minds fan, I have watched the show from the beginning. It has always amazed me how the writers come up with some of the ideas for the show and how they pan out, maybe some may be from “real life” story’s, but I also think it takes a really good imagination to be able to what they do.
Good … that you’d seen it — then you know what I mean 🙂 I was surprised when Gideon left, but I read about his reasons shortly afterwards. He had some health issues too. In Law & Order, there you can sometimes see that an episode is based on a real-life-case…
Penelope is my favourite character on the show although I don’t watch it often anymore because it comes on too late at night for me.
I haven’t watched it for some time either … can’t keep track of when there are new episodes. Most of the time it seems to be re-runs..
