    I work a lot now. My hours make it hard for me to do much. I work in a call center. I answer phone calls all day. Sometimes people think i'm a robot because my phone voice is just THAT perfect. I am not the biggest fan. If you've worked in a call center than you'll know it's mentally taxing.

    A lot of us are adults now with big boy and big girl jobs. What do you do?

    I work in elderly care these days. A lot of my responsibility is to assist with toileting, dressing, and hygiene. I also help do housework, prepare meals, and just over all keep company to my clients. I like it well enough, but I work really wonky hours. I will work 1-3 hour shifts, but have 3 or 4 shifts a day. It's kind of exhausting in its own unique way.

    I am an administrative assistant, although I'm just sortof everyone's general assistant at the place I'm at now.

    I miss being an assistant to a single person or team of people. It's much more rewarding to be an extension of someone's day planner than to be a general office bitch.

    I work for the gov't, managing the country's debt. :3

    Essentially, call centre work, chasing up companies who don't pay their taxes.

    I do the opposite of this. I work for a charity and manage the country's debt in an altogether different way.

    My job is to ensure that as many as possible get liver diseases and diabetes. I work at a soft drink factory and beer brewery. It is a terribly boring job and there is no future in it because they are going to reduce the work force by a lot in 2015, but until then, it's pretty decent money. I'll stay until I find something better.

    I work in what's effectively a call center too, dealing with calls, webchats, tickets and e-mails from gamers and confused parents.

    I work as an Assistant Editor for a company that does shows for HGTV. The biggest show they work on is House Hunters International. My actual job is a freelancer. I bounce around to different networks going on contract agreements based on the show's season end date. I could probably get staff here as it's a smaller company, but I'm already on hold at MTV2 for November, so I'll most likely be going back to MTV Networks in the Fall.

    Another one of my jobs is a Freelance Video Editor. I work on music videos and I also produce independent films. AND I am a Sound Designer, but I've only gotten paid for it once so I don't consider that my profession. I mostly do that as a favor for friends. I dabble in pretty much anything creative and related to video or new media. I even got paid for web design at one point.

    Man Shiny you seem to have a pretty fancy skill-set. Kind of jelly

    I get bored easily, so I like to have multiple skills. If I get bored with one place, or job I can go on to another. My brother has the same problem with getting bored with jobs. He's been through more than fifteen jobs and he's only twenty-seven.

    Having multiple skills is one thing. Being good enough to work professionally with all those multiple skills is a lot more impressive . At least in the line of work you seem to be in.

    I'm a United States Marin, trained to be a helicopter mechanic. So, I'm a helicopter mechanic. I fix helicopters. Except that I don't anymore. Now I am in North Carolina, soon to be an instructor educating the next generation of helicopter mechanics within the USMC.

    I'm a pharmacy technician at a big box retailer. Got the job because I handled myself well with difficult customers at the return desk. I really miss the return desk because I had so many more funny stories of customers throwing tantrums or having weird returns. Now I still get tantrums but I feel like a bad person laughing about it after because they're seriously ill. I get paid a lot more though. That's pretty nice.

    My favorite part is I used to occasionally have customers point at me while I'm dealing with a difficult customer and say to their kids "go to college or you'll end up like her." Now customers ask me what I majored in during college to get my job and I'm like "I'm a computer science drop out. School is for suckers." Actually it's just not that hard to become a tech at a retail pharmacy. You don't need prior education or training, you just have someone willing to hire you, then you get to pee in a cup and do finger prints and you learn on the job.
