As a kid, I often pondered what might my job might be when I grew up. I was never sure, although based on my Old Maid card deck, Baker seemed like a good choice for a long time. (There was a cake! I liked cake!)

But part of the appeal of the Baker card was surely the clarity of the role. What does a baker do all day? Bake things. Makes sense. (I do remember being confused why the Old Maid was the card you DIDN’T want, since it appeared to be a woman who patted cats all day — talk about a dream job!)

There were other jobs that were easy to conceptualize too — teacher, firefighter, construction worker (all of those seemed harder than baker, and did not feature cake on their cards). I could never figure out what an “office worker” actually DID at their job.

And now, years later, I can confirm: I still don’t know. Even though I have an office job, I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing all day. (I have, however, determined that I don’t particularly have the patience or perseverance for baking. Still holding out for that cat lady job, though!)
