I work with monkeys. Ok not really, but occasionally I get to play with baby ones, and hand feed ones of all sizes! I'm a DBA/Programmer for the California National Primate Research Center.

Why? The place is full of dead people, those are completely harmless. It's the live ones that are dangerous.

Aebleskiver are a delicacy, supposedly invented by some Dane back in history. They are like a waffle or a pancake formed like a tennis ball. The name makes people believe that there are slices of apples inside, which is correct--- if you put apple slices inside! You see, everybody, including me, has their own favorite recipe and way of serving them, all depending from where in Denmark the recipe came from.

Post by: SlickWill on March 07, 2005, 12:35:46 PM: Dead people just smell wierd. Especially before they have been cleaned up by a funeral home, ie. have vomit in back of throat and/or covered in urine and feces.

Also, Doobie, when you make some leet game, you have to have a character in there named after me, SlickWill. Nice ring to it, right?? :p

Post by: DruBo on March 07, 2005, 07:59:20 PM: At work one day recently I noticed that a lot of the users have wooden bats at their desks. Louisville sluggers that is, like this (http://www.p4a.com/item_images/medium/01/35/53-01.jpg).

And I thought to myself, "why do they all have bats at their desks? Isn't that a bit unsafe?" But bankers aren't known for their violence so I forgot about it for a little while.

Later, while working on a printer with a co-worker and fellow gamer, I realized why it would be dangerous and explained it out loud.

"If they all catch some kind of mutant virus and turn into zombies, then they'll be zombies with bats. That's why it'd be dangerous."

Then I went back to fixing the printer.

Post by: AzubahF on March 07, 2005, 11:08:42 PM: what lolfighter said....

and yes, dead people do smell funny and stuff. but I don't work in a funeral home, just a cemetery. never really see bodies or even come near them, unless they need someone to carry the casket coz they dont have enough pallbearers.

it's a great job. sit on a lawn mower and work basically completely by myself. I mean, I have coworkers, but you are pretty much on your own with your equipment. ride around listening to my mp3 player and cut grass. work outside. fresh air. all that jazz.

a lot of people say "how can you do that?" ... it's great, none of the customers complain. ;)
Title: Occupation
Post by: SlickWill on March 07, 2005, 11:57:12 PM: Yeah, customers/patients suck. Only good ones are on vents with tubes down their throats, can't talk that way :p . Oh yeah, and the ones that aren't a**holes. Which is .000001%. Another thing about dead people is that their arms always slide off the stretchers and since I am tall, they rub my balls quite nicely while I preform CPR on them or moving them. It's really wierd being felt up by some dead dude. It's like :o

Post by: CryForMe on March 10, 2005, 11:06:34 AM: complexity never makes it unboring, just adds to the tedium and annoyance.
I'm a student of the culinary arts as well as education. Sounds odd, but my two life goals are to be a teacher and open a restaurant. Gonna happen sooner or later. Plus i love to cook, so it works out well. For a job, i work as a digital comms dispatcher for the Hillsborough County Emergency Operations Center in Tampa, which means i sit in a cubicle and watch cartoons all day because theres no emergencies here. We only get the stuff that 911 cant handle, which only happens during hurricanes. It's boring as hell, but for 35k a year and a flexible schedule it makes me happy.
