• You could be a janitor of Sept 11th. Nuff said.
• You could have the jolly profession of making gelatin! From the source!
• You may have counsel mentally handicapped child molestors on how to perform masturbation, so that they don't inflict their desires on other victims.
• In order to prevent the further spread of filth and contamination at chicken ranches, you may have to be the guy that applies adhesive to the asses of chickens to prevent them from shitting all over the goods they produce.
• You could be a high level executive at a California utility company.
• You could be The Strokes' crack caterer.

I hope that makes you feel better.

I'm still doing some phone surveys. I don't mind them too much. I have a lot of experience with telephone work and I'm really good at it. I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed about this. I won a stereo, a degree frame, movie tickets, a clock, and a hat from my last phone fundraising job. The hours are very flexible, it's easy, and it does give me the opportunity to meet people. I much prefer it to any other job-that-doesn't-require-education (and trust me I've done a lot I have the stories) save maybe counting traffic which I did the last two summers. That was really great. I'd listen to my CDs and talk to my co-worker in the sun all day and count cars. I had a couple good friends who worked too so it was fun. It's the kind of job you can do drunk or high as well. If I was downtown I'd see people I know all the time.

np: Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Can you believe I resisted owning this until a couple years ago and then I didn't even really get into it for a while. I mean, it's brilliant. Rhythmically, harmonically, it's so innovative. And it's so heavy. Like, it hits everywhere it should if that makes sense. I'm almost willing to concede the point to Sinker at the moment. Fuck. I'd resolved to stop posting drunk and here I am.)

You're implying I'm not?

To Sundar -- talk about a late bloomer when it comes to that album. You have of course heard Sabotage.

i would so love to see Officer Hanle y on the beat ... searching the town for the escaped chickenbears and anal bats.

BLAM. 6 months of misery.

Dude. Why you gonna wish 6 mos. of misery on me?

haha

I like my job pretty well. Not the best. Not the worst.

It is both part time and split shift - 6:45am to 9:30am, with middays off, then back to work from 2:15pm to 4:30pm. The aggregate pay is low, but the hourly is $12.50, so it isn't purely slave wages. No benefits at all. But I get my summers off (yes!) and many vacation days, since I am on a public school-year work schedule. I can even walk from my house to my job in about 15 minutes. And in case you're wondering, I drive a school bus.

you... aim a school bus?

I mostly aim it away from stuff, you know, at the spaces.

kinda like my job. i work in the library at a small, liberal arts/alternative education college in the northeast. beautiful campus, fun work environment and the students who go here are pretty cool. library work's great overal

the shift kind of sucks tho - 2pm-10pm. would love it if fiancee/friends were on the same shift and were able to hang out after

For a couple years I had a job in a water testing lab. Mostly wastewater. From sewage plants. They used to call it "the smell of money".

My job really wasn't too bad cause I spend a lot of time in the lab alone wearing headphones and I lived less than a block away. The real suckers were the ones who had to go take the samples for us. It involved dipping a sampling rod into a vat of sewage, and apparently some poor sample collector fell in the vat once as he was taking a sample.

This was during the Clinton years and I guess clean water was seen as a "growth industry". My small local chain of labs eventually got bought out by a Texas oilman who turned it into the largest testing company in the country in less than two years. Of course, even though they were in the "environmental" field, the top executives all drove Ford Excursions and spent all their free time playing golf. Even though I was the most recent one hired at that lab, three of my co-workers were canned over those two years (including my manager), while I was kept on. Apparently I got paid less than anyone else. Then I quit and moved to Cali.

Now I work at a spa where I get paid to sit in a hot tub. BAM! Worst job to best job, 10 years.

I eat pizza for a living, on contract for various luxurious resorts internationally. I am paid in liquor and women.

You're a roadie?

lol. Yes, for CHRISTOPHER FUCKING CROSS.
