What career path or line of work would a truly authentic "Absurdist" take on?

When I look at the mailman walking around with a blank expression with sunglasses on enjoying being out and about, I picture Sisyphus as happy.

But, what job or career would an Absurdist take on to be "happy".

Albert Camus speaks to you and me, his readers, because we want to have a coffee instead of suicide in our right mind.

But, what if you are good and you habitually drink your coffee? What next?

I say deliver the mail!

But, life is absurd. Nothing is what it seems in my opinion.

I think you have to be less robotic and more flexible with work or purpose or goals and daily tasks. Not like it was in the 1950's.
