Those of you that moonlight and are still waiting to be discovered (a.k.a. haven't quote made their big "real" world move yet)...what's your day job? Interesting stories to accompany said jobs?I work as an Assistant Teacher at a school for "emotionally disturbed" children ages 6-18. I got crazy stories by the dozen...here's one:Last week I had to break the window out of a dump truck that one of my students had locked himself inside. Normally I would have waited him out but he had knocked the truck into neutral and it was rolling (albeit slowly) towards our facilities fuel shed where they have 750 gallons of diesel fuel on hand...kid was whacked out and had to be restrained because then began trying to cut himself with the broken glass...this of course was done with other counselor's assistance...but damn...had a hard time recovering from that one...peace,gNAT

    No toppers...just sharing...I know this place is rich with anecdotal stories given the sheer number of eccentric personalities here...

    Market Data / Trade Floor Support.

    Why must all traders love Baseball and worse off Love the Yankees. I honestly cant stand this sport and to hear this shit all fuckin day. Sometimes I have to listen to these conversations about golf, upper east side bars, and the new shit summer homes (marthas vineyard, nantucket, hamptons) This position is an apples and oranges in contrast to the way of life I want to live. Im a techie though and the money is good so i deal.

    you really need scarred up shots of 50 year old ladies who have huge inner tube guts, and instead of getting that fixed they opt for massive double D's?

    Enterprise Application Developer at PalmSource, Inc. My 'plan' was to get rich quick and become a DJ, so I co founded this company back in college: AllDorm. It hasn't quite panned out yet. They're still around, but I have no affiliation anymore. Now it's bland ole corporate life.

    Actually, I used to work as an Editorial Assistant in the Gynecology department of a medical encyclopedia software company, so I would get these big glossy photos of chronically yeast-infected vaginas and all sorts of raer, nasty-looking sores every morning in my mail. I got fired from that job, though.

    I'm a SpEd Teacher too! Not a day job, but a career really. Deejaying has been relegated to hobby status.

    I don't know...the job sucked for so many less interesting reasons than that. I actually found the part about seeing vagina infections etc. sort of amusing in a "funny life experiences" kind of way.
