I've had some **** jobs too. I worked in a very busy restaurant kitchen (in a big hotel) once. I can't describe the horror I faced. I would like to go back and shoot those people.

If you want bigotry and fundamentalism and naked ape chest beating, you can't do better than starting with ayatollah Richard Dawkins.

Some people can cope with factory work and some can't. I'm far too nervy and easily stressed to deal with the noise, pace and eeevil strip-lighting Sounds like it's not for you either!

Grow weed in the attic, you mean? Lol

Since I left school, all I’ve done is factory work, and I’m sick of it. I’m going to look for something I little different this time, maybe security or being on graveyard shift someplace. Maybe a cemetery, that would suit me well, you don’t have to talk to the dead.

No, but I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you did It must be awfully dull, lying in a hole while worms chew your face off. A little pleasant conversation would go some way to relieving the monotony.

I'd like to work in a cemetery, but I doubt I'd make it through the interview without saying something "inappropriate".

Doing freelance work is good when you only have to contact clients through e-mail. I do a bit of freelance graphic design at the moment, i dont get much money from it but it would be great if i could do it as a full time job.

Lol! Yeah sometimes I start wondering what would be the most inappropriate thing to say in a given situation, and once I've thought of something the temptation to blurt it out becomes immense... it's like that childish urge to press any big red button you see, especially if it has a "DO NOT TOUCH!" sign on it!

Ummm the Head Custodians in the school system i work in make around $50-60,000 a
year (about $20-25 an hour) and leaves everyday at 3:00!

Working with animals is a good option IMO. For the last 2 years I've been working on a farm, with one boss and one co-worker. You get to know the people you work closely with and its really not a problem when you start to feel comfortable around them (doesnt take long.)

Most of my work I to do alone, just dealing with wee calves and their mothers, as well as some bigger cattle and a few bulls. Its suited me down to the ground so far, but I have plans to join the Air Force in 2 years time.

I would say a porter at the hospital. Moving patients from bed to bed and sending documents from one department to another. Very little interaction involved.

I agree. Animals are great to work with when you are shy because you still get a lot of interaction with living things but you don't have to make conversation (perfect!). I've worked in kennels and as a dog walker for years while in college and if I could do it forever and make a good living off it, I totally would.
