Ah, I have a riddle.

My work involves math and numbers and the worse I do for my employer, the more money I make.

What do I do?

IRS agent?

Computer stuff in an IT shop.  If you happen to stand close to some piece of gear longer than a few minutes you will be considered the expert.

public employee ... unionized, is my guess, though I'll have to think about the riddle a bit more.

Never mind... just saw it. Good one, Jimson.

REmind me to play at your table some time. Where is your casino?

I am now going into my 4th year as a middle school teacher

So, how would you react if some of your students left a fake dog crap on your desk? We did that in Middle school and the teacher was in tears. She thought it was real, you see, and picked it up with a Kleenex.

LAter, the Vice came in and talked to us all. The teacher retired soon after. She was a sad old biddy and could no longer function under the stress to which we'd subject her. I didn't have the heart to tell her of the horrors we'd've visited on her had our hearts been in the game. I felt she'd be even more sad if she knew that we'd checked swing with her, as opposed to really hammering her all horrorshow, as was our bent.

You've got to be fairly tough to function in such a field. Kids are "Lord of the Flies" scenarios waiting to happen... or, at least some kids are. I was a lot more Jack than Ralph, myself, and, as you can tell form above, idolized Alex DeLArge as a youth, before growing up to be all edjimicated and proper-like (which took a hard knock or two more than a hard knock).

Lab and fabrication shop manager for a university's engineering capstone course. some of the stuff these student teams prototype is really incredible and it is always satisfying to see something first conceived of in this facility hit store shelves or be implemented by the company who sponsored the project.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

:aok

I went to Casinorama in Orilla Ontario a few years back.  A kind dealer showed me how to play 3 card poker.  Broke even on the weekend gambling but had a really nice room.

Went to Vegas in March of this year playing in a golf tournament, didn't bet a dollar.


  My sister worked at Casinorama when it first opened up,we both attended high school in Orillia!.......   Freaking small world!

I work in the maintenance department at a fleet wholesale store. Generally fix crap such as shelves and lights and whatnot. On occasion though i'll have to go clean the bathrooms or maybe bring in carts.


Easy job and good pay. My future profession will be an auto mechanic hopefully.
