Ya i figured someone like harmon would insult me. Ok sorry about the calling you pussies but how the fuck can you sit on your ass all day long and not call that boring. Harmon I wasnt fucking talking about warehouse jobs, i’m talking construction and millwright work. Far from boring and actually an interesting trade where you actually work hard and come out proud of what you did.
The next time I install a security system on an aircraft carrier, making a job easier for several sailors putting their life on the line to defend the freedom of dumbasses like you, I’ll be sure to think how great it would be to have a more physical job.
Sometimes, what you do is more important than the physical self-serving benefits of it. I love my job. Do you?
Adult entertainer, Exotic dancer. Have a degree in Chemistry but the ding-a-ling pays the bills.
You wrote. “Far from boring and actually an interesting trade where you actually work hard and come out proud of what you did.” This is all a matter of opinion is it not? You think this about your job and so do others about theirs. To each his own and we all play a part in this world of ours and we should all have respect for what the other one does because the bottom line is we all need each other. You CAN sit on your ass all day long and work hard, it may not be physically taxing but it is mentally taxing. You can still get rewards of what you have accomplished and feel good about yourself. The way I see it is like this. People who are not truly happy with themselves have to point the finger at someone else in hope that their faults will go un-noticed. Why do you find the need to degrade others occupations? Have you ever heard the term work smart not hard? If I could make a million dollars sitting on my ass guess what, I would own a Lazyboy recliner and have it surgically attached to my ass. Point is, I can still get off of a chair whenever I want and go to the gymn. You know how hard it is to go to the gymn after you have worked physically all day long? You get a real good workout when your knees hurt so bad from standing on a concrete floor for over eight hours don’t you? Try to step over to the other side of the fence and see it from somebody elses point of view first before you go making offhanded comments. Thanks for listening. Oh, by the way, occupations of general laborer, cook, dishwasher, machinist, government subcontracted assembly line employee, Marine-anti tank assaultman-demolitions-Special Operations Training Group, Tire worker, Alignment Tech, Field Service Representative, Diesel Technician, Father of Four. I was proud of every single job I held. Remember this Dave, Pride comes from the inside.
my daddy put it in the bank, I take it out.
Amen ru12nvme. I’ve done everything from a Personal Collections agent to a Lab Tech. for a Chemical Co. Now I strip/Dance for a living. My son has a full belly and a good home and now I make more in 2 hours than I used to make in two days. I used to sit on my ass all day and look at slides, and I used to go around town ten hours a day sometimes making people pay my employer back. I’ve fallen asleep on jobs before and I’ve been stabbed on the job before and I’ll tell you what, it’s all been worth it. Flipping burgers is the same as running a corporation to me. The $$$ doesn’t matter. You can do whatever you want to in your life as long as it makes you happy.
Dave, you need to relax. You’re missing something, but don’t try to find it by talking down to others. Its much easier to call people pussies when they cant see you and you cant see them. THat kind of attitude gets you nowhere quick.

Doug K here, I am a research scientist - AND you are stealing a line from Morrisey!
Sports nutritionist. Something in sports science. I’m also considering being an author (fictional) and essayist or psychologist. I have a few years to think about it.
“This Charming Man” has heard of Morrissey before Doug. I’m glad you got up to “Sing Your life” here with the rest of us because “Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference”. You can also call me “the boy racer” or if you are so inclined “the cosmic dancer”. “I’d love to” chat longer but I must take an “Interlude”. I have to pick up “a girl I used to know” from the airport. She’s a “fantastic bird”, and I call her “My insatiable one”. She calls me her “sweet and tender hooligan”. Anyway, I’d better run before they say “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore”.

BTW guys, there are only 3 jobs in the world.
1) Moving physical objects
2) telling other people what to do
3) Manipulating information. Now many jobs involve a combination of two or more. For instance mine is about 90% number 3 and 10% number 2. I find 3 the most interesting, and 1 to be brain numbing. What job suits you depends on your own constitution. You will find that the higher your IQ, the more likely you will enjoy 3. Although I perform 2 well, I detest it.

What do I do for a job? First I take her to dinner. I pick her up at her house with a small token gift. We go to a medium priced place, and I make sure I order wine so that I can fill up her glass a little bit at a time so that she can’t audit what she is drinking. On the way home, I like for her to sit close. To close the sale, I use that last bit of gentle persuasion. I think wrestlers call it the half-nelson. That is what you were talking about, right?
