my last job was selling boats witch was a pretty cool job, talking to people all day and driving boats on the water. however this job beats that. i actually work less and make more!!!! my woman is pissed, can not figure out how i get such easy jobs, and every one after the last gets easier.

I'm a Human Services Assistant for an outpatient Mental Health Day Program. I get to walk around all day re-directing Schizophrenics, Getting them into their classes, Breaking up fights, and calling Crisis outreach and the cops when they get too far off their rockers. Working on a Psych Major at an online Univ. With a Minor in Sociology / social working.

I've only been bodyslammed once, & 1 Bloody Nose in 4 years.

Before that I was a line cook for 2 years, and then I ran a kitchen for an upscale Nursing home for a little over a year. I found that when working with food I ate less, lost alot of weight and felt sick all the time.

So i got out of that and went and worked at Lowe's delivering appliances. About 100 Side By Side refrigerators up to 3, 4, & 5th floor condos later I ran out the door of that place when i quit.

So now I work with crazy people.

[davidmcg]

I am a Retired/Disabled Deputy Sheriff for the last 8 years. Recently I was doing drug testing for a halfway house for the U.S. BOP. Now I just mope around looking for work and playing with y hobbies of "Q" and scanner radio stuff. In the past before law enforcement I was also a warehouse man and a steelworker. Law enforcement was the best job, most rewarding and fun. Where else besides the NFL and NHL can you engage in contact activity and not go to jail unless your the bad guy. The we give them all a free ticket to confinement. Also, I am a veteran of the U.S.A.F. The air force is where I was first introduced to smoking meat. My best friend who was from the state of Texas could smoke up a meal from anything that crawled, walked, ran, swim or flew. GOD rest his sole he is not with us now, lost him in GW II. From the jungles, to the ocean to the desert this man knew his stuff. Me, all I can smoke excellent is beef and pork. But my chicken is almost there, its good but not enough to push bragging rights on.
