So what's great about your job?

It could be said I work on the right side of the law....but there are no doubt some folk who would say I'm on the wrong side.
My reward or justification is simply ensuring life and property are protected

I get to try cases. I like courtroom work.

I work with horses. They have all been wet, smelly, bastards today. As a result I am also wet, smelly and pissed off enough to be a bastard at the moment.

Don't let anybody put you down. At least you try.

Not much to like about my job - I solve the same problems over and over again and fix things when they break. On the solve problems over and over again, this means I tell you how to fix something this week, and next week you will forget and I will have to tell you again! Then I get to deal with hardware failures, lack of budget to deal with what it is I need, and software screw ups. Last night, I was working till about 9 PM on a mail store. I get creative ideas and implement new services at times, but for the most part, I am constrained by the $$$ I am given. In the end, yeah, I may have ultimate say on what you can and can't do with your computer, but quite frankly, as long as you're not breaking it, I'm happy with you.

And to top it all off - I'm bored!

I am thinking about trading stock full time and dumping the 7 to 4 thing for good. Time to manage my own life and create something of my own. The welling within me is growing by the day to do something different and my own.

Oh, I wouldn't have gone into this line of work if what people had to say bothered me. I'm conforted by the fact that most people that really hate me have long criminal records.

I am a High School History Teacher.

I get to talk about history all day. I love my job!!!

Although...I wish I got paid according to the importance of my job.

Currently I'm working out of a temp service as a highway flagger.

The bad: I get to deal with people who are upset that the road is half shut down for construction. Of course they were complaining about the potholes last week, and why doesn't somebody fix them? I get to deal with people who think trying to run over flaggers is funny. Of course they don't laugh when the flagger jumps out of the way and then they run their car into a 50-ton digging machine.

The good: I'm outside all day. I'm getting a great tan. Monday I was in the middle of a busy city stree, but Wednesday I was on a lonesome highway in the middle of nowhere. The scenery is great. The 'scenery' driving by is better (as noted by others in their job descriptions).

It's not what I want to do, but it's a great way to make quick money (the temp service pays every day).
