> 1. What would you change about your current job?
I like my job, and in general am pretty satisfied
with what I have to do. Since I've recently changed groups,
and am happier with the new one than the old one, I haven't
had much time to get dissatisfied about my current situation.
Since I'm going through the agonies of buying my first home,
I would like to make more money, though...
> 2. What would you change about your current career prospects?
I like doing software, and in general feel like it has one
of the best fun/income ratios of any real job. When my kids are out
of school, and I don't have to support anyone anymore, I just might
dump it all, go to art school, and live in a garrett.
> 3. What would you change about your social environment?
I moved a year ago from the greater Boston area to Maine --
it has taught me some graphic lessons about community and culture.
I had a fantasy about living in the country with my SO. Well, now
there's no SO, and I've been living an incredibly isolated life.
It's given me a lot of perspective on what is important to me, so
I'm moving back to Boston with a real sense of what I need: art,
politics, social commitment, community with other women.
I'd like to help create alternatives for women alone with children --
don't have any solutions yet, but I expect to try to do something
about it eventually. I'm planning to volunteer with the AIDS
Action Committee as well, since I feel very strongly about
being there for people who need it most, and to work against
the growing tide of homophobia.
> 4. What would you change about your country?
An end to interventionist politics, an end to nuclear proliferation,
a compassionate attitude towards solving domestic and world poverty,
respect for natural resources and ecological balance.
True equal rights for women.
> 5. What would you change about the world?
See #4, multiplied a zillion times. More than anything, an
end to patriarchal exploitation, and a social climate that
respects women's values.

> 1. What would you change about your current job?
I would have more power: to choose the appropriate people, and delegate
to them the beaurocratic hassles that suck up my time; to say, I
should be spending my time looking at this, and be believed, with
no justification needed.
I would have less power: when I make personnel decisions/suggestions
(prospective employee, current employee), I am extremely uncomfortable
with the power over their career and livelihood.
I would change _me_; my project management skills leave much to
be desired.
Most of this will come naturally as I mature, or will never happen
as it is utterly unsound business practice.
> 2. What would you change about your current career prospects?
Not a whole lot, except that I would like to avoid overspecialization.
> 3. What would you change about your social environment?
Increase the acceptance of intimacy. I love an awful lot, and I
don't want that to change. Among my closest friends, this is 100%
cool, but there are so many people I like being friendly with who
are uncomfortable with intimacy outside of a lover-relationship.
> 4. What would you change about your country?
I would do away with physical violence, especially in the way we
deal with "alien" countries. We should not live with the threat
of war, EVER. The threat of economic warfare should be enough.
None of this death penalty idiocy, no [insert your favorite oppressed
group here] bashing, a strong sense of the "value of our differences".
> 5. What would you change about the world?
Less [ie: no] violence, more tolerance, more food for all.
This _is_ a helpful excercise. I would REALLY like to live in a
world run by women.

| 1. change about my job?
personally, i should be making enough money to live a decent
life as....a musician, a writer, a teacher.
not-so-personally i'd like all employees to review their bosses.
i'd like bosses and workers to be considered doing equal but
different tasks.
the allowance for higher up management to be forgiven for any
blunder at all while lower down employees live in fear of their
jobs for even the most insignificant error. This would be changed.
No boss would ever again say..."heck with the employees...we're
not in this for them...it's a business and we're in it for the money"
that would change.
If this whole thing isn't for all of the people.....it should
be.
2. career prospects?
i write and record and play and work on all my personal interests
on a regular basis.
and i'm good at it.
i carry demo tapes around hoping to run into...the right person...
and i teach for dec currently....
3. social environment?
personally, i'd like to have more people who liked me for my
good qualities and less people who think i'm a jerk because of my
"liberal" and "compassionate" points of view....it's rough being
disliked by so many people cuz you care about the poor and problems
with the government/country/planet...
but, being strong and confident and truly believing in my
assertions, and having an s.o. who feels quite similarly helps alot.
Also, our social environment is full of trips to neat places and
movies and we talk about EVERYTHING so we don't (i odn't at least)
feel that we're missing anything important "socially"
on a not-so-personal basis i wish more people would do a lot
more than just watch t.v. and clean their house/yard. Seems like
10 out of every 10 people i ask "what did you do this weekend"
replies...."not much" or "nothing" or "went to a wedding" or "cleaned
the yard/attic/house"
if they don't go to a wedding or a party or their parents house....
they just don't go....
?
4. country?
free /full/complete education for all people up to and including
college education.
greater encouragement/reward for the arts in school.
less politicians and more referendum voting.
a job for everyone.
a minimum wage that would guarentee a happy life for all people.
proper taxation that does not favor the rich and abuse everyone
else.
a country of the people, by the people and for the people....as
opposed to what we have now....a country of/by/for the bureacracy.
more women leaders. (i might even make it against the law for men
to hold public office!!!!!:-)
no hunger and no poverty.
i would rewrite the constitution. The dam thing is so old and
full of ancient "wisdom" that it's questionable at best. So, just
like they keep making newer/bigger/faster/better computers....i'd
make a newer/better constitution.
all governmental positions would be held by properly trained
and educated personnel who's number one priority would be.....
PLEASE THE PEOPLE!
no more stupid, angry, violent cops.
no more stupid, angry social workers.
no more stupid, angry registry workers.
all government offices would be open 9-9!
no more would the people have to take time off from work, which
causes so many to lose wages they can't afford to lose, and the
boss? is always suspect of those who take time off.
free parking.
it's just another unnecessary tax and it's damned inconvenient.
corporate pollution at tax payers expense (financially and healthwise)
would cease!
a terminal in every home and each home would have access to
NOTES!
5. the world?
see 4.
i, too, would prefer women leaders to men.
