What do you do for a living?

Forums:

What does everyone do? One thing I have noticed about deadheads, we seem to find our way into any jobs and find some interesting ones as well.

i am a Chef, and have been for about 30 years. I love it but am fading out, it's a young mans sport. I still get a rush and excited at service time, just slowing down a tad.  At the moment I cook farm to table and it's a challenge, but such a new and wonderful way of doing things.

I also drive a cab! Now that's a fun job! I really love it, some of the people I meet are unreal. Lol, the series go for days. I am not an uber driver, but drive an actual cab. Lol

 

so what do y'all do? 

Any other Chefs around? Taxi drivers? 

 

Cement mixer

I'm retired but drove a cab in the 70s in Boston suburbs. Used to bake cakes and such for a living, but I'm really a cook not a chef. Spent 1980 to 97 as an oceanographic tech - usd to go out on research ships several times a year, then worked at an EPA water lab until 05, when I was laid off and ended up taking early retirement.

 

My daughter also drove a cab in PDX until Uber.

Driving a cab in Boston must have been crazy. In the 70's as well. 

I drive in a quaint little College town. Mostly drunk trustafarians 

I'd tell ya but then I'd have to kill ya!

 

 

Days as a barista over, Joe?

I quit cab driving when one day the dispatcher called at 6:00 AM as I was just about to leave the house for work and said "Don't bother coming in - the cops still have your cab". I said "What?" He said "Oh, I guess you didn't hear. The night driver of your cab was murdered by a fare."

I have never been a barista. Seems like a fun job though.  I really enjoy the service industry, I know it isn't for all, but it's been my niche for a very long time

oh Jeeze Surfdead, that may have done it for me as well. 

,

Do you drive your scooter to work Joe?

I don't own a scooter, although that's a fantastic idea, I only work a half a mile from my house.

a scooter, I bet they get seriously good gas mileage, thanks for the idea! 

I am hitting Craigslist now

Wow, from a cook to an outfitter, that's really something Catchabegone.  I am staring very hard at making an investment and getting out of the bizz, I feel it's time to live at a slower pace.

Growing pot seems to be a great adventure.

 

Hi Fred Gavine, ha ha ha

 

 

I clean Slacker's pool. The SOB refuses to pay me a livable wage, and he tips me with his PBR empties to return for cash.

He's a shitty employer, but he looks cute in Speedos.

That's right, $1.00 will provide you all the info you need to gain your own business and make your money work for you. All I need you to do is send $1.00 and also find 10 people who also would like to have this info for $1.00. PM me if you want in on this exclusive offer.

"...Fred Garvin. Male prostitute..."

I, too am a Gigolo. When the "Action" gets slow, I also sling Wood.

The mobile log-splitting can be lucrative, but to me it's an opportunity to visit new and unique Pizzerias.

Dan-O is that a cement factory?

Fisheries Biologist (semi-retired now) for a non-profit organization that I co-founded in 1980 in coastal NorCal

So Stu's slingin' wood, either way?

I have worked in Medical/Radiology for over 25 years, right now I am a full time caregiver for my ageing mom :(    The cat and I make a pretty good team, who would a thought...lol !



...getting some help in soon so I may go back part time, or do some medical billing from home.

I, too am a Gigolo. When the "Action" gets slow, I also sling Wood.<<< Fat/ugly women need lovin' too. Good man!

Fugitive.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about quiting my six figure salary and just saying fuck it, I'll get a job at Starbucks and room with my little brother.

 

Bet he'd like that!

I am also a six-figure salary earner, but I count those decimal points. Last tax-year I earned about 3347.64 U$D after taxes, which is a solid Six Figures.

Most of that went towards Dog Food, dog treats, and chainsaw maintenance.

However, I earned a bit toward my retirement account by doing seminars regarding financial planning for Hüskies. Those creatures are natural economic powerhouses, yet often need help with investment strategies.

No condoms in that estimate, Dickgoes stud?

Retired IBEW.

I teach English grammar and communication to Dutch businessmen and military.

GaryFish...tell me more! My first degree is in aquaculture production/fisheries management from Auburn. I later earned two graduate degrees involving water chemistry then the terminal degree to teach at post-secondary level. Before coming up here I was in the seafood biz on an island near Ft. Myers, FL. And before that I was a stoner/house painter in the Denver area.

My wife is in the medical field making the lions share of her income these days. Man, I really love her...

Having been in the building design profession for many decades, I actually understand what Negman does.  Similar to the Office Space video I posted above, where the interviewee "Deals with the Goddamned Customers so the Engineers Don't Have To", Negman "Deals with the Goddamned Architects, so the Code Officials don't have to".  That used to be one of my unwritten job requirements, as both architects and code officials are both the worst kind of Prima Donnas who would only end up in huge disputes if they dealt with each other face to face.  In fact our code officials refused to even talk to architects, they would only deal with other public employees (ie me), so I ended up getting involved in every single Code issue on every single project, from huge issues to little tiny pain in the ass ones.  In fact, that is one of the possible 2nd careers I looked into, but I'd have to take all the tests to get a code official license (really not that difficult for me), plus it'd be way too high stress for me & I really can't stand dealing with either architects or code officials . . .

Hey Mr. van Atom --

I own a Kustom K-200 that needs some TLC. It is a tuck 'n roll amp head which is the style favored by CCR dude. Basically it likely needs new filter caps and a good cleaning.

Is that the type of work you might undertake ??

I am on the East Coast, central NJ. 

Talk to me here or internationalfirewood (at) gmail etc.

Thanks !!

Sorry,

Thanks Van Atom, 

Appreciate the information. The Kustom K-200 is an awesome artifact. I actually bought it from my auto mechanic about 1990. It came with a bigass tuck n' roll Naugahyde cabinet with three 12"  Jensen speakers. It was incredibly LOUD like shatter the windows LOUD.

Even back then it had a few crackles and pops, needed a good cleaning. I never did play it much as it was just over the top in a human dwelling. Now I'd like to see it run once again.
