Six Things that Make Me Happy - When I Grow Up

Six Things that Make Me Happy - When I Grow Up Its Shut Off Your Brain day today (that should be an official holiday). With 8 whole people in my office, a drizzly cold mist over NYC and me stuck in at work to support people who arent here, I was just going to skip the post this week and wish everyone a Happy Channakwanzakkuh and be back with Freaking (Great Links) Friday. Then I came across this post and wanted to indulge myself by joining in, too. Its hard to limit myself to just Six Things that Make Me Happy, but here they are: 1. Snuggling on the couch with my babeh No, he usually doesnt come with a robe and a teaset (nor is he usually in a cabin in a rainforest) but that doesnt matter to me. Lying down on the couch and watching TV or a movie with Luke is one of the things I do that make me happiest. Add some popcorn and wine and Id never leave the house. 2. A bubble bath, complete with a great novel/fashion magazine and a good glass of wine (Rubby Ducky not entirely necesary) I can stay here for  hours. Add some quiet jazzy-like tunes and I may just take a nap. 3. Seeing a show with my Mom   A meal and a show always makes for a special day with my Mom. On Sunday were seeing Pal Joey on Broadway and I think she has something up her sleeve for my birthday on 1/14, if I let her. Weve been to hundreds of shows together but each one is special. 4. Grilled cheese with tomato on rye bread Yes, I love a good lobster, but give me grilled cheese with tomato on rye Im not fancy, Im from Strong Island. Throw in some sweet potato fries and I might die from happiness. 5. The Boiler Room Episode on My So-Called Life My favorite episode on any TV series ever. Ask any woman in their late 20s-mid 30s about Jordan Catalano and listen to all the collective sighs. 6. D*** in a Box I kept this on my DVR until we had to turn it in, since it guaranteed me milk-coming-out-of-my-nose laughs at every viewing, even when a viewing turned into dozens of viewings. I still think the censored version is funnier you can view it here. This Christmas Eve, think about Six Things that Make Your Happy and make sure you have time for them before the New Year. Or make sure theyre included in your plans for 09. Or leave me a comment and share them. Or write your own list on your own blog. Really, there are multiple things for you to do with this list. Enjoy your holidays this week!

These Are the 5 Fastest-Growing Six-Figure Jobs in America

These Are the 5 Fastest-Growing Six-Figure Jobs in America If you want to make six figures you don’t need to look much further than these five jobs. Out of the 62 occupations paying a median $100k salary, the jobs in this chart below are the only ones expected to add 50,000 or more employees to their workforce by 2026, based on an analysis of data provided by labor forecasting website Projections Central. Between them, they’ll open up 71,188 new job opportunities each year, accounting for 58% of the six-figure jobs added. Of the 57 other jobs with a median annual salary of $100,000 or above, about 90% of them are only expected to add up to 4,800 positions per year, and two are actually expected to lose part of their workforce â€" but that’s a non-issue for these developers, managers, and lawyers. App developers are poised to have more $100k-paying openings available to them than any other profession. They’re the ones who make a median $101,790 a year creating mobile and desktop apps. Not to be confused with a systems software developers, who use their computer science education to focus on the platforms that apps are used on, app developers are encouraged to major in computer science but can get a position making six figures as a self-taught coder. They’re being added at five times the rate as systems software developers (4,714 a year), and by 2026, app developers will exceed 1,000,000 employees â€" twice that of their systems software counterparts. General and operations managers, meanwhile, might be adding fewer employees than app developers, but they make up the largest fraction of the overall six-digit-salary workforce in the U.S. They’re the office managers coordinating the day-to-day internal operations of their organization, or the head of the operations team that makes sure the company is running smoothly, with minimal risk. Generally, a bachelor’s degree in a business major will suffice for someone in this job category, meaning it won’t take more than two to four years to complete the requirements. If you want the highest salary of the fastest growing six figure jobs, head to the bank: Financial managers (bank branch managers, comptrollers, or financial directors) are making the most, with a median salary of $125,080. They’re adding the third most employees of any six-figure salary job, but will also be the rarest of the bunch by 2026. A role as a financial manager generally requires a bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance, at minimum. But further education in the form of a Master’s degree or a CFA certification (Chartered Financial Analyst) is a crucial step in working your way up the ranks. It’s the difference between being in the half that’s under or over the $125,080 median annual salary. The last group identified is the vague job title of “managers”, which are also expected to exceed a million employees by 2026. This group is reserved for people like social services managers or utilities managers, who oversee a team working in an environment more obscure than say a bank or a hospital. They require good leadership skills, like communication, delegation, and the ability to maintain order in the work place. Rounding out the list are lawyers â€" who fall in at second in terms of pay â€" and are the only ones on this short list required to get a graduate degree to apply for job. But all five of these offer a better chance at making a six-figure salary in the next five to seven years than any other job in the U.S.
