    i sit here and make stupid comments on stupid websites, filled with stupid people, who think the universe begins and ends with their own egos.

    and yes, i love and appreciate everyone here and elsewhere, who have better sense, and realize it does not.

    I try to confine any idea of stupidity to ignorance. I don't know any stupid people. I do those things that keep the machine running, chop wood, carry water, eat fruit, feed the mind. No one pays me for this but I live in high style.

    I work for the credit department of a commodity trading group. Currently though, I'm on maternity leave and collecting short term disability.

    I am a slave and or commodity to the oppressive powers.

    So is everyone else in this thread.

    The difference is between some, is that some don't want to be like the oppressor, while most of us want to be like the oppressor and we die trying (the American Dream hope). This would be what is commonly called that mark of the "beast"...the mark of the world.

    This mark is in your head (thoughts of being the oppressor) and in your hand (in your works that oppress fellow man)

    /thread.


    EDIT:

    I work at the salvation army lol

    I still install HVAC, but I have changed.

    I lost my job at the Air Force base (after only a week) because they found out I was afraid of heights. I can't prove that's why I was layed off
    because I was just transferred to another job for a while before I got layed off. When that job was done I was let go.

    People always told me that I was in the wrong trade if I was afraid of heights, and that being afraid was all in my head.

    They were right, it was all in my head. So I got over it.

    I went back and got re-hired (four months later) because they got a huge project (the biggest in Arizona's history) and they needed help real quick.
    It didn't take too long before I was tested working at heights, naturally, and I passed with flying colors. :)

    That flip floppy/butterflies in the stomach feeling is gone now, and my hand is tired from patting myself on the back. :D

    i'd almost rather not know what other people do for a living. i'd rather live in a world that worked a little differently then that. a bit tl;dr to describe in detail here.

    most of what too many people seem to think what other people do for a living, says about them, is bullshit anyway.

    i'm currently retired on a modest pension, but if you want to know a brief summary of my work and other history, its currently in my journal on my fur affinity page, for however long until i replace it with another one.

    I'd like to know what those people standing outside of the nude bar waiting for a cab (on a weekday) at 4 in the morning do for a living.

    you just think you would. presumably serve drinks and get slobbered on by drunks. or mop the floors after the doors close.

    No these people just hang outside having a smoke before the bar closes at 5 am. I even saw a limo there once.

    There are people who live the night life there. There's at least a half a dozen cabs waiting outside every morning.

    I see them on my way to work. I even saw a kid there once (at 4 am).

    Really? I think your career choice can say a lot about your morality, belief system, and personal values/priorities.

    The thread title was "What do you do for a living" not "Whats your career choice"

    Hm, some people might say those are the same thing. Like me, the creator of this thread.

    I'm not sure. What does she do at Wal-Mart? Is she the CEO? Is she a higher-up making millions of dollars on cheap labor and underpaid workers? Is she a store associate making minimum wage because she needs to feed her kids? Do her and I share the same morality?
