Best Job in the World Winner

Back on January 13th, I wrote about the "Best job in the world", which was a new "position" created by an island off Australia to promote tourism.  While it is a real "job", paying $111,000 for only 6 months work (promoting the Hamilton Island and writing a weekly blog), I felt (for me) it wasn't the best job in the world since it only lasts for such a short time.  Then what do you do?  Well, Ben Southall is about to find out.  He was declared the winner yesterday and will begin his new job on July 1st.  I read today about another "best job", working for Facebook!  The social networking company announced that do to their tremendous growth they are moving to a new building outside of downtown Palo Alto, CA.  One new perk for the employees, endless snacks!  This move is designed to keep the employees "close at hand".  One hopes that they will also be hiring a dietitian and open a gym in their new digs.  This may be an interesting story to follow!
