Ahem - you all have really interesting jobs - well maybe except the UPS driver :imsorry: Still I bet you meet some interesting people!

I'm so boring - I'm a houseperson and full-time mother at the moment. Used to be a tabloid journalist until I found my moral compass (I was very young).

Have done anything that involved fast typing and using a computer since then. Mainly secretarial/PA/publishing/PR that sort of thing. BORING!!! Give me a UPS job any day at least I'd get paid to drive!

Oh I have - believe me :-) Several times over...

I still cringe on a regular basis at some of the memories.

:clap:
:beer:

Worst one? Famous snooker player's father was murdered... I was told to interview him and ask how he felt about it (DOH!). When I got there I asked him loads of personal family questions and it was obvious he had no idea his father was dead. I walked away. When I told the office I got fired for not telling him his father was dead. That was the day I finally accepted journalism was not for me.

There is no "CRINGE" icone so lets just



:blush:

The Volvo that my family owns is my dad's, but he wouldn't ever be able to figure out how to use the forum so I will instead lol.

I'm 17 - I work at a produce warehouse called Star Produce. I work downstairs and I sort quite a few different types of produce. It gets boring, but the money is good for me, and very flexible around school so I can't complain.

What a cool job! I was always fascinated by that line of work. :thumbsup:

I am a stay at home mother of 8...nine if you count the one we are currently trying to adopt.
Just moved from Titusville, Florida to North Carolina too (and freezing my rear off).

Just a thought but any chance you could hunt down a dead beat dad for us? :lol:
