    I own a healthy coffee distributorship. Basically just send out samples all day.

    Wouldn't do anything else. Love it.

    I work for a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility. It's a Level IV lock down psych hospital; I went to school to be a counselor. I need a better job because inpatient care sucks; I've been bitten, scratched, stabbed, spit on, kicked, punched; I've had chairs and shoes and trashcans and water bottles and walkie talkies and water coolers and food and other things I've probably forgotten/ blocked out thrown at me.There was a guy on the male ward that liked to make shanks and I got a bacterial infection once from being bitten. I have to physically restrain kids and split up their fights . . . it sucks.

    I understand that the kids have had a ridiculously difficult life but in my opinion there's a point in one's life where they have to start taking responsibility for themselves and their actions.

    Perhaps I'm not cut out for therapeutic work. Yikes!

    I'm a CPA, and accounting IS pretty boring. The trick is to work for an exciting company. I've worked for Harrah's casino, a recording studio in Memphis, an advertising company, a non-profit, and am now at an environmental testing lab. I just move on if I get bored.

    In another thread you mentioned that you were a ninja. Do you find your ninja skills helpful in your day job as an animal....hmm....as an animal procreation facilitator?

    I retired from the fast-paced hustle of the ninja industry.

    Please stop remembering stuff I say. It isn't good for anyone. :P

    You'd think there'd be more of us around here. Our jobs can be pretty sedentary. :grumble: :bigsmile:

    I am an Executive Vice President and Chief Safety & Compliance Officer for a large truckload carrier in the midwest. My job is very stressful due to compliance issues and dealing with the state and federal goverment's safety regulations, so I wouldn't say that I love it but I have done it for so long that it is just....comfortable.
