Re: What do you do for a living?

Well it was just the local second-hand store, so there isn't much professionalism expected from them by most everybody, but yall are right. I'm much to professional a person to work around the kind of people that work there anyway. The only reason I applied was that my local employment agency said they were hiring and gave me the application, and i'm desperate for a job, so I figured any job is better than no job.

I let the cat in...I feed the cat...I give the cat his daily quota of adoration...I let the cat out... (Cat Staff)

Actually a writer/photographer when I can squeeze it in between cat duties.

I do pretty much the same thing but with a dog. In and out, in and out all day long.

I work at Subway :( and yes I can make a delicious mouth watering sandwich. I've got magic hands when it comes to crafting the perfect sandwich lol. But I'm hoping that once I receive my AA in Sociology I can find a better job :D Even though an AA in Soc won't take me very far it'll take me somewhere with more money
