What do you do for a living?

I'm a railroad conductor.

Translation:  I play with my HO scale train set all day.

42. I was a stay at home dad.

Our kids are adults now, out on their own, and doing well.

Be forewarned stay-at-home dad or mom means many potential employers will trash your job application in the first automated pass.

12. Estate manager

Taking care of rich folks' property, supervising "the help," fixing plumbing, building decks, coordinating contractors for the stuff I can't do.

Graphic design: wine labels, books, collateral material.

Anything that pays, and a lot of things that don't.

Who would be dumb enough to trust a primitive to manage their affairs?

80. You help Manage?

You poor soul! At less I just train. Sometimes get on the phones if we are in a pinch.
But to Manage, even just to help doing so? Oh NO!

27. For many I'm part of the Powers That Be

I am profoundly submerged within the University of California's Travel and Entertainment Reimbursement Policies. Faculty send their paperwork and receipts and mildly terrified hopes to what they think is a Black Hole of the unknowable in the hopes that they will be reimbursed for their research trips all over the world. I am part of the group that is so steeped in Institutional knowledge that people are in awe of us.

I reimburse for travel and entertainment at UC Berkeley.

I'm all that stands between you and a painful, E. coli-induced diarrhea death from a bad cup of lowfat peach yogurt.

You're welcome.

78. I am a Research Study Conductor Trainer.

Not brag...much. But we were working in conjunct with the only one that made the right call on how close the Mass Race was for the Gov. when others were saying it was going to be a runaway.

The big shot political operative nonchalantly discussing life as a working stiff.  What a phony.

Anchor for hot air balloons.

If anyone ever donates one to the thrift store, he'll be ready!

61. Work at a thrift store and looking for a grad school.

Clerking in the junk store is his hobby.

Shoplifting is what really brings home the bacon.

This DUmmy bragged about shoplifting at a WalMart up in Minnesota, where he worked.

He was subsequently fired for some reason.

Stay at home dad...geez. I don't even know where to begin with that one. As for the long list of unemployed libs, I was let go from a job a year ago. I was unemployed for about a week. No excuses.

Shouldn't you make sure you're employable above a minimum-wage position before entering graduate school?
