[regoob2]

I do sales it cool, I love the good weeks and hate the bad ones.

[Rich Jr]

I feel old.

I work full time at an Electrical Company PEI and they contract me to work at CLECO.

My job consists of dealing with transformers. The ones that hang on poles (pole tops) and the ones that sit on the ground (pad mounts). I change bushings, junk them, suck the oil out, sand, wash, and paint them. I'm actually working on a 15 thousand pound pad mount right now. I have to paint this SOB tomorrow.

[JagHombre22]

yea, it can be dangerous....just the other day I had some guy pull a big ass knife on me, we had to roll around on the ground, it wasn't fun...I hit him with my asp and he bled...it was cool after that..

If they do any work around Baton Rouge maybe but not sure. Is that a Laffy company?

[Rich Jr]

[7-11]

Financial adviser. I have only learnt one thing in my 12 months in this profession, i do not want to be a financial adviser.

On the plus side it gives me plenty of time on nfldc, hence my 38% efficiency.

14.5 days
108 hours
6488 mins

Those represent how long i have left until i quit

[regoob2]

Waterpark jobs are the greatest.
I worked at Typhoon Lagoon for a year as a lifeguard. The greatest job ever.

[saintsfan912]

No they're out of Dutchtown. My uncle owns it. He lived in Gonzales for 5 or 6 years or so maybe longer.

Yea, I live right outside Dutchtown in St. Amant. Not sure if I've heard of Cook though, what kind of company is it?

[Rich Jr]

[Ravens1991]

[Billingsley26]

yeah, i got a cousin who is a cop in virginia, i wanna say a city called fairfax maybe. it was near the DC border. anyways, he got hurt real bad too, and says that job was dangerous and he never had an easy day. he wouldnt reccomend it to anyone.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

I play football for OSU, so I'm set for life.

[B-Dawk]

I work at a coffee shop up at school, haven't found my summer job yet

[The_Dude]

Like Rich Jr., this thread makes me feel old.

I teach 8th grade US History.... love it.

[Don Vito]

I go to college but over the summer I work at a cemetery digging graves and doing groundskeeping. I love it, I get to be outside and it pays well. Its about 55 hours a week and I have to get there at 7 AM monday through Friday so its all good. Plus I work for my high school football coach there and he's a great guy. I got an on campus job here but I only work like 15-20 hours a week just for spending money and frat dues.

[RexGrossmans-cheesecake]

I was a soccer ref when i was like 12. 8 bucks a week, great pay. But in the summer I plan to caddy, and its pretty sweet since I live in a really wealthy town which means nice tips. Or at least I hope.

[TimDris]

Wow I've already seen 2 people who work in cemetaries or funeral homes. How do you guys do it? I mean I don't think I'd feel comfortable.

Not because of the graves/caskets but just because whenever I am at those places I am mourning a lost friend/family member and I am reminded of almost every funeral I've been to when I go to one.

[Damix]

I work as a scanning clerk in a mental institution. My room is right next to the electric shock therapy room. Anyway its a very boring job, just listen to my iPod the whole time.

I've been applying to internships for the summer, have a few interviews set up, hopefully I get one.

In 8 or so months I'll actually have to start applying for real jobs.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

I'm a cook and have been at the same place for 3 years. I love it and don't want to leave, but eventually I'll have to move on.

I knew this question would come up. It's not nearly as bad and morbid as you think. The people are great to work with and it's an easy job.

On the death side, when making arrangements I look at it as a celebration of a good life lived. People bring up fond memories of the deceased and some of the stories are actually very interesting. One must know that the time will come eventually and to take it strong. Emotions do run though at wakes but were well equipped to deal with it.

[yodapoop]

I run a blow job company.

[JagHombre22]

yeah, i got a cousin who is a cop in virginia, i wanna say a city called fairfax maybe. it was near the DC border. anyways, he got hurt real bad too, and says that job was dangerous and he never had an easy day. he wouldnt reccomend it to anyone.

well...working as the po-po in DC is no easy task...it's like the crime capital of the world...

when I first responded to this thread earlier I was sitting in my cruiser in a publix parking lot listening to the radio...and typing...that's how relaxed my zone is...I feel for anyone who has to deal with crack head's and mental patients every minute of the day...

I do not long for that...I'm more of a talker than a fighter, so I don't like to roll on the ground, but I will if I have to...

[diabsoule]

I start my job tomorrow in a town just north of Baton Rouge, LA. My job title is a QC Lab technician. I'll run samples of plastics that are made in the plastics plant.

Next week I have an interview to be Claims Rep w/ State Farm in Metairie, LA. That's the job I really want.

I can honestly say I want your job, lol. Sitting in your cruiser a you typed this made me laugh. I guess it all depends on where you live and the area. But yeah, that definately seems pretty relaxed of a zone. Pretty coll stuff.

[JagHombre22]

it's good stuff, until **** hits the fan and you actually gotta bust someone's ass...then it gets hairy....

[Billingsley26]

yeah, i guess being a cop it isnt always rainbows and sunshine. but for the most part, doesnt sound too bad.

[Nitschke-Hawk]

A couple observations-

Gonzalez, LA: hometown of Glenn Dorsey. lol I watched a lot of LSU this year.



JagHombre: being in Gainesville have you ever wondered what it would be like to arrest a well known Florida Gator? No reason I ask, just curious.

I'm a year older than him and went to his rival high school. Had the displeasure of seeing my high school getting ripped up by his big ass every year. Met him quite a few times though, real nice down to earth guy.

[adschofield]

I'm working in the Kansas City City Hall this summer...Pretty kick ass job, and it looks good on a college application

Yeah my favorite player/person in college football. I think he's gonna do wonders for the chemistry of a team.

Little known fact: Back when I first started with the PD i was going through what they call "FTO Program" which stands for Field Training Officer Program, it usually lasts about three months...it's a pain in the ass but everyone goes through it, you're partnered with a veteran police officer and you work the different zones....

well, one night I was working the downtown zone, it's a foot beat so I was walking everywhere...I got a call about a disturbance at one of the local nightclubs around the corner, we responded and it was Jeremy Mincey(DE) and his girlfriend and she claimed he punched her in the face, long story short everyone in the club threatened to riot if we made an arrest, the girl had no physical markings of being hit...so we just told them to leave separately...

same thing with the Tony Joiner incident...he was arrested but the Charges were dropped because he was a prominent Athlete...

[drowe]

i work in the research department for a health insurance company. been with the company for 5 years. looking for a change. preferably something that allows for additional income if you're crooked.

[bsaza2358]

I am a product manager for a financial software firm. I manage certain wealth management products that registered investment advisors use to manage their clients' assets.

[Jakey]

I care for my disabled uncle...its a pretty tough job (long hours and all), but its worthwhile ya know! I get a good wage, and it helps my family out a ton, so its definately the best job i have had!

[terribletowel39]

I work at Landsafe. Its a sister company of Countrywide located at Countrywide's corporate office here in the DFW. We handle all the appraisals done on properties bought/sold in the US. It's pretty damn boring but it pays the bills and they don't have NFLDC blocked.

[bsaza2358]

TT39, any chance you will be affected by the impending B of A purchase?

[terribletowel39]

Well we actually had a big meeting about that just the other day. My bosses bosses don't even have answers. We had folks asking questions wondering if BOA was going to have an appraisal department, if they were gonna take over or help....blah blah.....little things come out every now and then about how they infused this CW thing with this BOA thing but I doubt anything effects us (Landsafe) too valued. Even if the market stays at its poopy level, people still want there properties appraised. So we will always have work and in all actuality something thats kind of important, just like 2 weeks ago we hired like 8 new contractors. Getting them trained up now. So it looks like we are expecting the same amount of work as usual.
