Home sweet home? Do we have a job for you!

Admit it; you've daybreamed about telling the boss where to file that got-to-have-it-now report,  grabbing a few incidentals, and hopping the next flight to a deserted tropical island where a stocked fridge and sugar-white beach await you. Oh yes, and money is no object. (My daydreams do go on.)

Well my friends, this is no daydream. Queensland Tourism has a job of you as island caretaker for the Great Barrier reef--a position they call 'The  Best Job in the World.' And as I sit, writing this in a viewless cubicle, I'd have to agree. The successful candidate will be paid a salary package of AUD $150,000 for the six-month contract and be based on Hamilton Island.

It's not all Fosters and dreamy sunsets, you'll be expected to snorkel, feed the fish and collect mail. And since I'm all about enabling daydreamers, I leave you with the application for the 'Best Job in the World (PDF).'

G'day and good luck mates!
