I make copies of Birth certificates for people too stupid to get them 4 weeks before they absoluted positively needed to have them overnight.
I also make copies of Death certificates.
I occassionally get told I'm an angel, a miracle worker, a wonder(ful person), or 'a dear'.
I occassionally get called names by people who can't get what they want.
I've been offered tips, had countless lil' old ladies bless me, and once I even got KrispyKreme donuts, all for doing my job as best I can.
As of this past paycheck, I've made $11,000 this year. I've paid nearly $3000 in taxes. I might get back $900.
What do you do for a living?

As of last week, I'm now a medical research associate for NFO Migliara/Kaplan, and a part-time employee at High Grounds, a new espresso shop run by the family of a very good friend of mine. And a part time percussion teacher as well.

Wow, I remember you saying you were just about through with your school over the field trip thingy (not that I blame you). Never did hear anything else about it, so I guess you gave them the finger then.

What kind of medical research? Animals, kids, sleep disorders, hmmmm, sex?
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Currently unemployed, but I've got an interview at the school district this week to sign on for a substitute teaching job until I go to grad school. I'd say writer, but I haven't actually gotten paid for that yet.
