selenakRejected out of hand are such death traps as Angel Investigations, Torchwood, or secret sections of the FBI or CIA, I'll have you know. Also, regretfully, Joe's bar from Highlander, because gratis concerts aside, I always was bad at maths and would make a lousy waitress. Also the Miami police, because clearly there are far too many serial killers in Miami. They could start a convention. On that note, here are five candidates with reasonable survival chances:
1.) The Library of Dreams. Sandman. Come on. Not only every book ever written, but every book any author has ever dreamt of writing but somehow didn't get around to. Clearly, Lucien has the best job ever. Granted, working for Dream has its downsides, as when he's kidnapped for 70 plus years or when the Furies are after him, but that happens rarely enough not to affect my wish for long term employment.
2.) The Daily Planet. (Lois & Clark incarnation of same.) A newspaper with an Elvis-loving chief editor and hot reporters is clearly the place to intern or get hired as columnist/foreign correspondant. Even if a supervillain occasionally tries to buy it.
3.) The Enterprise - D. (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Allows families and pets on board along with the space exploration, as opposed to the original Enterprise, which as I'm not sure I want to spend the rest of my life single sounds like an advantage, plus, really, whose voice would you want to hear on a daily basis announcing every day ship business, Kirk's or Picard's? Also, the holodeck. Barclay and I would probably swap therapy stories.
4.) The Bartlet White House. (The West Wing). No idea whether I could keep up with the speed of the conversations, or what exactly I would do there, but it would appeal to my inner idealist.
5.) The Herald. (State of Play, original tv version.) Another newspaper with a snarky chief editor and hot reporters. Being located in London, which means better theatre and bookstore options for me (sorry, Metropolis). I would so work there.
