    I dunno.

    Punching children or baby animals would probably start to bum me out after a while. Then I'd have to resort to day drinking to cope.

    Is there a job for this?!?!?!
    The way Baby Bubba has been the last few nights... I'm tempted to say you can practise on him.

    This in a nutshell. I switch off the moment I log out at work, and don't switch back on until I log in again. Homework is something that I dislike immensely.

    Other things I'd not be any good at: Doctor/Fireman/Policeman Officer. Because while I am fine with the sight of my own blood and innards, I can't stand looking at the guts of another person. Similarly, I couldn't be in any job that required me to hurt animals because I don't have that in me. Even if it's a whole 'mercy' thing where you put them out of their misery or whatever. I couldn't cope with doing that kind of thing. Also, on a different note, anything to do with fashion because I just don't get it.

    You shouldn't really associate a vet with "hurting" an animal. I understand what you mean in that you still wouldn't like to be the one who has to put down an animal, but their job is literally the exact opposite of hurting an animal.

    Anything in sales/marketing. I'm far from smooth and I hate that vague feeling of intellectual dishonesty@

    Yeah, I know, that's why I mentioned the whole mercy thing. I just don't have that in me. But I'm sure there are other jobs which may involve hurting an animal on occasion, for their own good or not.

    Oh yeah, I was recently locked out from my office and had to work from home. Worst day at work ever. And I don't mean just the work from home thing, because I used to be a full-time freelance translator, but this job is just different and having it nor separate from my home life was painful

    Ditto!

    I can be very socially awkward at times, so naturally I work in sales. I think I'm a bit of a chameleon, I just pretend to be extroverted.

    Working alone in a windowless environment on a repetitive task. I would go nuts. I need people, variety and problems to solve.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    either something with alot of humans/kids..
    I have no idea how to handle kids. I dont like kids. they are often so loud.

    or an office job.
    I refuse to sit on my ass all day to do work on a pc. I need to be able to walk


    I've had a 'factory' job once...
    my task was to unpack some bags and check them for the tiniest faults or scratches. if they even had 1 tiny scratch then the bag would'nt be sold..
    it was so boring and stupid..
    I managed to keep it up for 1 hour.. then i quit

    yeah, that's how I feel with sheep. I would prefer if wool was worth more and therefore sheep worth more alive and producing offspring/wool than being eaten by Hipsters in NYC. Or, I'd love to be able to make the farm a dairy farm again, as that's what my family did traditionally. But milk prices are low all over and we get raped by the system being so far east so our milk prices are even lower than the mid-wests. My dad sold the dairy herd in 2008ish and went to beef cows. He hates slaughtering them.
