Done that, it sucked. Power-tripping editors and not being allowed to give negative reviews to avoid pissing labels off is frustrating.

Since I'm currently a full-time student and don't actually work, I'll go ahead and outline my previous work experience, and what I'm going to be doing in a few months.

First job, I was a car detailer.
Second, I started doing metal fabrication and worked at a factory that built large building heaters.
Third, I stocked a distribution warehouse that supplied beauty salons.
Fourth, I went back to fabrication and worked as a welder/fabricator at a sign and awning company (we built the Wachovia signs, the Best Buy signs, Amscot awnings, etc.)
Fifth, I said f*ck all that and joined the Army as a computer network administrator because I figured the job would include air conditioning. Did that for 6 years and got out.
Now I'm full time schooling for Computer Network Administration with a free ride from VA, and will graduate in the summer.
Then.. I hope to get a job in that field and will turn down anything lower than 40,000 a year.

Fingers crossed.

I more or less got my degree in Early Childhood Education to be a preschool teacher and then realized I didn't really want to teach, I was just going through the motions because it was an easy option for me. Now I'm a Religious Studies student and work in a local, independent bookstore to pay the bills. In a perfect world I will end up being a writer/musician who has studied all of the things that interest me.

That certainly does look phallic.

Yes, you are correct. Its used to get rid of the air bubbles. We'd make walls every morning that were used to test projectiles so they needed to be very consistent.

Ahh okay! Makes sense.

Here's the jobs i've had.

First, when I was young, I used to babysit my younger brother and sister for my parents who both worked full time.

Next, I worked at a dental clinic filing records, and logging appointments

Then I started working for AAFES (military convenience stores pretty much) where I did everything from Clothes, Shoes, Janitor, Cashier, Sales Associate, and Stock Worker.

After six years of that, I joined the Army as a signal support guy and that is what I have been doing since 2008.

The End.

Well, apart from apparently being the no. one villain here lately, I do and did all sorts of weird ****. At the moment I moderate/oversee/delete spam from multiple forums/webstei, also do amazingly fun things like linkbuilding etc.
What I did, in no particular order:
- freelance translations of anything from heavy equipment manuals to cancer treatment methods
- send spam
- build a concrete fish ponds
- digging trenches for communication cables
- I used to study, a long time ago, all in all 4 different majors. Fun fun fun.
- SEO
- taking care of a huge fish farm, which includes having to dig a hole big enough for 2 tons of dead carp, collecting the dead carp, putting it in the hole and covering it up, in July with 40C heat
- copy write
- being a game master/guardian on a rpg camp for kids
- a ton of physical labor in general, to many different activities to name them separately.

Yac.
