Dammit, I was out sick last night! Although, Pedro, my protege, told me that there was a commotion in one of the booths last night when they found some guy in overalls in there with a sheep. I should have known that was you!

I hope the cops weren't too rough on you, by the way. Did you get your sheep back?

I love my job. Singular. Next Monday will be my last day at the second job. If I had the time, I would love to keep both of them. After one year of working at both though, I'm tired! Shocked

Kicky, that is a sweet job. Maybe that will be what I tell women I do for a living when they ask...always looking to add to my imaginary profession list.

Cat euthanizer, CK underwear model, sell blow-up dolls on Ebay...and now peep show booth janitor.

Bookkeeping is okay, but the rewards are largely spiritual.

Yes, I have been known to go around saying 'Oh Lord' when I'm faced with a mell of a hess, or 'Thank God' when I'm magically in balance.....

Spiritual, indeed.....

Being the idiot that I am.....I agreed to stay one more week at the video store because two people quit today.....and because I can't say no to my boss.....and because I'm an idiot. Did I already mention that? Shocked

Profession? You mean like a career or a job? Work? To make money? Hmmm...that's an interesting concept. In fact, I have done that before. Never had a job I didn't like. I might do it again at some point.
Volunteer work or maybe something very part time that is loads of fun. We'll see.

I've worked fast food, hospital unit clerk, retail management, furniture sales, paralegal, and as a self-employed events planner.

Besides parenthood, my favorite was event planning. Gave me lots of creative outlets and the satisfaction of pulling it all off was very rewarding. I got to spend other peoples money to show everyone a good time.

Downside was the long hours and some major physical labor in the heat due to having to set up / take down inflatable rides for some events. But, even that wasn't too bad.

Wish Bear and I were still doing that.

It took me a while, but I realized that yes, I love my profession. It's what I'm best at. At first, it was just a way to make money. I thought I wanted to be a mathemetician when I went back to school, but I ended up back doing software. Now I've just accepted that this is what I'm good at and this is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. I still love math but academia is not for me and to start over in industry would set back my whole family financially -- and my having gone back to school did enough of that. Anyway, I get to use my math skills often enough. If I'm lucky, I might get to come up with some mind-blowing new way of doing things. If I'm unlucky, I'll end up making it easier for the government to blow **** up.

I've flirted with the idea of doing interior design or landscape architecture or even civil engineering. But when it comes down to it, I'm just not a very creative person, even though I wish I was.
