I've been wanting to start this thread for a while...i made a post about how much im working earlier and someone commented about how much they hate their job...it got me thinking. i know digsy's in NY... but what about everyoine else?

i'll start. I manage a photography studio in Collierville, TN...which for those of you who don't know is a snobby little suburb of memphis. if you want to have a bitching contest, let me know. i've got some doozies.
next?
thank you for being a friend.

I slice up rat brains and dump alcohol on them to see what happens.

I set my own hours and I rarely have to deal with people. It's great!

I own a production company called Peace Frog Productions that is mainly me as the sole employee and I own a post-production facility on Music Row with two other partners called Music City Digital (soon to be changing our name) We have 12 employees and a physical plant of 5 edit suites (3 of them HD).

Nowhere as cool as interning for Letterman, but I'm happy. I'm a now middle aged man with a wife and kid and doing what I've loved to do my whole life. Now if I could just do more alt-rock videos and less country music editing life would tast-ee great.

i work at a huge, impersonal cell phone insurance/refurbishing plant. i put together your new phone and all its accessories and information when you drop your old phone in the toilet or leave it on top of your car and drive away. it's boring but it easily pays a college student's bills.

in school i am a foreign languages major (spanish) and a latin american studies minor. no, i have no clue what i'm going to do when i graduate. right now i'm not particularly worried about it because i feel like i will be in school until i am 45 (which isn't all bad). i guess i'm only 22, but then again, man, i'm already 22. i plan on either studying or teaching abroad at some point. we'll see how that goes.

I graduated with a degree in Electronic Media Production and am about to finish up the "Late Show" internship (next Thursday). I interned in the research department where every single fact about every single somewhat-famous person is collected and stored. I've loved it.

I have a very promising job prospect at a talent booking agency as a researcher for a wide variety of shows, some of them pretty darn high profile. Here's hoping that works out.

I recently got my master's degree in social work and I'm currently working at a drug and alcohol treatment center. I'm a "floater" which basically means I do whatever needs to be done which includes counseling, treatment planning, case management, and whatever else. I also play in a couple local rock bands.
I TOTALLY AGREE!


Keith, you are destined to rock. Never forget this.

I work in human resources at the corporate office of a healthcare company. Specifically, I work in "community relations," which manages the company's community outreach and charitable endeavors. I've been there for over a year and I love it.

It's good to be back here!

I just got off a State House campaign as the Operations Director. She won. I've got an interview at Oaklands Historic Mansion today and a couple of prospects lined up, but nothing as of yet. Might be stepping into a 10 - 5 office-type position at the first of the year.

I'm a student at the University of Texas. I am a senior in aerospace engineering. Hopefully I will graduate next year, but unfortunately I was just raped by finals. Anyways Austin is a great city to live in. I'm on my way back to the boro, and I'm hoping nothing stands in the way of me seeing the boys play on the 13th.

I'm currently a crafter of lenses at Lenscrafters, it's a fun job helping people see and such. In May I will have a degree in Anthropology with concentrations in Archaeology, Cultural Resource Management and Cultural Anthropology and a Folklore minor. Haha, I don't know what kinda job i'm gonna get then but I'm sure it'll be a fun one! I'd just be happy to get down and dirty with some artifacts...oh, that sounds bad...

I got my degree from the Recording Industry department. Then I decided they were all wankers. Now I work in a warehouse with a bunch of uneducated wankers. I really do need to start assessing things before I act. blink.gif
