What do you do for a living?

['Gear]

Consumer SB started the thread asking what you really want to do for a living. This got me wondering what everybody actually does for a living/to pay the bills etc.

I'm a General Contractor. Which means glorified construction worker. Or the guy who gets sued/blamed if a job goes south or someone gets hurt. I'm also the one who absorbs the hit if a job goes over budget or overtime. I usually do kitchen or bathroom re-mods, but I have been known to build patio covers and room additions.

I hate it.

I find the work mind numbing and psychologically unrewarding. Just between you and me - I couldn't give a fuck less if you want to step on travertine in your barefeet when you get your coffee in the morning. However I'll be happy to make it happe if you write the check.

What's your specialty, carpentry, masonry, drywall, electrical?

For personal reasons, I won't go into detail about what I do for a living. Let's just say someone pays me a lot of money to do very little and it isn't a skilled job.

No, it's not animal husbandry, ya sickos.

I'm professionally awesome.

Carpentry. I used to be a framer.

Are you a pychic?

I'm professionally awesome.

I know a few people who are amateurly awesome. I know one of them is looking to go pro. Is the test pretty hard?

I gave up my job of working on a sexy clown ship and am now going to school to learn how to be a pirate.

I work hard, really hard.

I work hard, really hard.

I mock and laugh at the people working really hard. hahahahahahaha.....until they flash their wads of cash or brag about all the cool stuff they bought.

I worked in radio, doing promotions. But I quit my full time cushy gig to go back to school to finish my BBA, and work in a country bar with topless bullriding <sob>

By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show. Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no fuckin' joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil fuckin' presence.

Everyone here pretty much knows that I close caption for the hearing impaired. I get paid to watch tv.

I wash clothes, dishes, and my grandma's pocketbook. I cook fabulous food. I clean up poop.

I barely make a living.

I hope they at least let you go to the Ball, Cassierella.

I spend all day counselling and educating people with various retardations and developmental disabilities. Which probably explains why I am so comfortable on internet messboards...
