What's your job?

[RCMerchant]

 I don't work no mo'. After two stints and a quad by-pass- I'm pretty f**ked. I waited almost 3 f**king years to get my SS!.
And they f**ked me out of most of my back pay too!
But- before that I worked at Honee Bear Canning Co. in Lawton Mi. for 30 useless years . The folks I worked with were great- best folks on Earth. The Job sucked. And paid VERY bad. With looong hours. It was like prison!
So what's your job-and don't be ashamed if your on SSI- becuase I am too.

Let's see - my full time job is as a history teacher at a private Christian school.
Then I teach night classes at the local community college.
And I write books and sell them every place I can.
And I raise goats.
And I sell Indian artifacts and fossils.
That, plus my wife's job,  keeps most of the bills paid!

I did a variety of unskilled labor jobs that didn't pay the bills until dubya said people like me weren't willing to do that work, so I went on ss & eventually started doing volunteer radio in the inane hope that it might lead to something, and on dec 1, I'm taking a four hour course on forklift driving, because I'm still looking for some *&%! job to offset the ss, because that doesn't pay the bills either, and I hate my life...

Wel-Nyah Nyah! 
Kidding, my freind. Your very multi talented. 
AH! I did draw MORON KOMIX for the local paper for 10 years! Didn't pay good- but I enjoyed it!
I also dug underground cable, worked in 2 machine shops, on a garbage truck in NYC, and picked so much f**king fruit as a teenager I still don't eat much fruit.
I also worked at Ted Nugents mink ranch in Marcellus MI feeding and killing mink!  Which was the worst, most disgusting, and low paying job I ever had in my life.

Driving a lift truck is easy. It's a breeze. If you can drive a tractor or riding lawnmower, you can drive a lift truck.
Now getting any kind of livable wage of it....!

Just as long as I'm not the one loading the pallets.
I'm trying to work with several different agencies to help me find something part time & still keep my ss, just that employers have gotten spoiled & lazy.

I did just the opposite!
In upstate NY in 1979, when I was 17, I was part of a crew that went around with sledge hammers and crow bars and  knocked old houses and barns down.  To salvage the....I dunno. Shoulda just burned the f**kers down. Didn't pay worth a f**k. But it was fun! And we were all drunk!

The thing is-they will hire forklift drivers with experiance doing it- (and there are LOTS of them) before they will hire you.
That's just the way it is. They just don't want somebody in a factory, with 10 other lift trucks, running into a wall.

Uber. I've done all kinds of driving jobs. amazon, delivering fruit thingies and cookies trees you name it.

It was difficult at first to adjust to all the socialization inherent in uber, but I really appreciate the flexibility and not having a boss,strict hours etc

Guys: if you wear too much cologne please stop or take the bus. I don't want to smell that crap

I am a junior non-commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force, currently working in a department where I make sure any repairs and modifications required on Typhoon aircraft are embodied at our camp and with any of our deployed squadrons. Previously in the RAF I started out working on the electrical parts of the Rolls Royce RB199 engines on Tornado's, anti missile defences (chaff, flares and anti  radar guided measures), spend some time on 617 (Dambusters Sqn) and a couple of years on a rapid deployment wing, where if a war broke out anywhere in the world we would be there within 24 hours setting up the initial base in a non-permissive environment (fancy talk for "You are going to be shot at" basically). In 17 1/2 years I've spent 32 months (for work) outside my country, so that isn't too bad.

I do have a cover story if I am somewhere, where admitting what my job is could cause problems (on a train full of Arab's, certain places in Glasgow with high catholic or Irish populations (most of the central west of Scotland), I tell people instead that I am a location scout for an adult movie company.
