My EDIT job is unbelievable, I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First there is the supermodel wanna be chick. I'll give her credit she if pretty EDIT hot. But She's constantly fixing her hair or putting on make up. She is extremely self-centered and never considers the needs/want/desires of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, I'm surprised she has enough brain power to continue to breath. She must EDITa mean EDIT, because the boss keeps her around.

The next chick is exactly the opposite. She is probably one of the smartest person on the planet. He career opportunities are endless, yet she is here with us. She is like a -10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her 'womanly' parts. I think she is a lesbian, every time we drive by a Home Depot she moans like she is EDIT her pants.

Finally and the jewel of the crowd is a EDIT stoner. I'm not talking like an occasional toker. This guy is baked before he comes to work, during work and I'm sure after work. I would doubt that he has been 'sober' in the last 10 years easily. And he's only 22. He dresses like a freakin' beatnik throwback from the 1960's. To make it worse he brings his big EDIT dog to work. Every EDIT day I have to look at this HUGE EDIT DOG!! This thing usually walks around about 1/2 stoned from the 2nd hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think its trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Both of them are constantly hungry, require multiple stops at McDonalds and Burger King.

Anyways, I drive these EDITtards around in my van and we solve mysteries and stuff.

I tried to clean it up. Remove if inappropriate. I work as a Registered Nurse - ICU.

That was so motherEDITing funny I think I EDIT myself I was EDITing laughing so EDITing hard when I finally got to the EDITing end of it. I honestly had no EDITing clue what you were talking about until you got to the EDITing part about driving the EDITtards around in the EDITing van. Guess I shouldn't have smoked my EDITing breakfast this EDITing morning, huh? (and yes, with the exception of replacing **** with EDIT, I really do talk that way. The chaplain stood gaping at me openmouthed in the motor pool one day, listening to me talk to an E-4. I turn around and see like 4 or 5 GI's just grinning standing with him. I'm all "What the EDIT? Why's every EDITing body staring at me? What the EDIT did I do now?" That's when the chaplain told me that he counted 134 EDIT's in 120 seconds of speech from me. My response? "That's EDITing all? I'll have to try EDITing harder next time, sir."

Just like Sapper, I didn't know What The EDIT you were talking about until the sentence about why the boss keeps the supermodel (supermoderator?) around. Then I re-read the whole thing and laughed so hard I cried. I'm still laughing.........

And Sapper - I understand - everything.

After getting out of the Navy, worked for my Dad in his grocery and ice business, but my ex didn't get along with my Mother, so we moved from Florida to Maine. Applied at the shipyard here, 35 years ago and still working. I will say we build some darn fine Destroyers for the United States Navy. Always wished I had worked building houses.

[FVR]

Grew up painting and roofing houses in NJ. At 19 joined the USMC and stayed active for awhile, got out and ended up being a safety director at a copper refinery.

Moved down here to Georgia with my first wife and started working in the environmental field.

Owned a printing company for many years, did the pow wow and rendezvous vendor circuit for awhile. Spent a year as a high school acc.I, II, and computer teacher.

Ended up back in the environmental field. Worked up from a tech to project manager, then requested to be a senior tech. and work on remediation systems.

That's what I do now. Went to college to get a BS and found out I HATE offices, office politics, and the pogues that inhabit the office and gossip.

I work alone most times and have grown to be kind of a hermit at work. Working with most of the other employees is a pain in the arse. They talk too much, work not enough, and take too many breaks. I sit there and listen to them talk about their prior sexual conquests, their award winning fights, how they are always right and their supervisors are all dumbarses.

Yeh, I'm the arsehole of the office, just leave me the **** alone and the job will get done.

In High School and College I held down odd jobs to generate enough cash for the next semester. I was a waiter, worked at McD's and QuickTrip. I sold cell phones, worked at a Disney call center, and owned my own Lawncare/Landscaping company.

I had a flash of insight one day while digging a sump in 105 degree heat. The sump had to be 6' deep and at 3' I hit a thick layer of limestone. So while trying to pound through it with a sledge, I decided it might be good to finish my studies afterall, because there was no way I wanted to do that again.

I eventually got an Engineering degree in Computer Science from University of Kansas. Since then I have moved around a lot working in Web Design, then R&D designing a search engine, Internet phone software (SIP), then to a mobile phone company as a DBA and Developer, and finally back in R&D doing data conversion for a pharmacy automation company.

I am currently working on a personal side project for a web based "business" and hopefully within 90 days it will start generating revenue. The idea is to generate enough revenue to be free from having to rely on a company for my income and future.

My current desire is to save up enough cash to buy a decent plot of land, where I would like to be able to sustain my family with farming and livestock. The rest of the land I would like to plant a vineyard on and practice making wine, which I would like to turn into an eventual income. I would like to augment my residence to use solar and wind-power as well as have a high energy efficiency so that I can reduce my need to pay the government for everything. The eventual goal is to only have to pay the bare necessities such as the MANDATORY insurances and the hefty taxes the government thinks we owe them.

I absolutely love the outdoors and the activity of agriculture. I find it extremely rewarding to have such a huge reward from my hard work and I would love to make that my full-time job.

use to be an assistant for a real estate agent. was pretty close to getting my real estate license. been an armored guard for 2 years now.

[amy headrick]

armored guard sounds like more fun.

[Stairman]

I worked as a roughneck on offshore rigs, then a tackwelder in the shipyards and a deckhand on a supply boat. All in Louisiana. Came back home to Florida to frame houses, worked my way into finish trim and finally stair systems in multimillion dollar homes. Right now with the housing crash Im doing any carpentry and painting jobs I can find. Thank God I got out of debt when I was booming.

[tonester]

armored guard sounds like more fun.

haha way more fun! little bit more dangerous but the steady paycheck and being outside is worth it.

So, tell the truth, do you ever sneak up behind your partner and yell, "Gun!"

"I got you good that time. You should have seen the look on your face. LOL. Oh, man. You peed yourself."

I'm sure tonester can set us straight on this, but I think the deal in that business is you get two for free and then on the third one, your partner shoots you....

[Rick]

There are just a LOT of jobs I'd be no good at. I'd just have way too much fun at other's expense. Bomb disposal, funeral home, parachute packer. Just no good I tell ya.

lol. something like that, the only time we really do that is when your partner starts to dose off...sneak up behind them then clap your hands as loud as you can or yell at the top of your lungs right by their ear, that will make them think twice the next time they think they are getting tired.

another good one is hiding something smelly and rotten in someone elses truck...good stuff haha.

[Rick]

I did that once when I worked outside. Once. They got even with me. They put a live snake in mine. Have you ever seen a snake drive a truck? It did a pretty good job what with no arms and all. I know. I was running along side the truck for a moment trying to get my balance. You know, the first step is great. The second and third aren't too bad. When you step out at 50 MPH those first three steps cover a lot of ground. After that, they sort of catch up with you.
