What do you do for a living?

I was just having this conversation today. I think, in the end, this isn't a great mindset. Lawschool is too expensive by far, but I still think the answer should be Don't go to lawschool unless you see the light at the end of the tunnel. For example, my school isn't paid and I have no connections, but I would still go through with it because it's what I really want to do (be a lawyer, not go to lawschool because fuck that).
You lucky bastard!
I LOVE pizza and being surrounded by it would be epic, but I don't think the hospitality and catering industry is for me (having dabbled with it a few years back).
You never know till you give it a go. When I was a kid I never thought I'd be a pizza guy. I was going to be the dude that knocked Bill Gates off his pedistal. Windows 95? Pshaw! DOORS 97 (written in BASIC) was going to rule the world!
You'd think that pizza nights every Friday for as long back as I can remember would have been a clue, but no .....
If you have a car, why not try a couple of shifts a week delivering pizzas. It could lead to nothing, or something. No harm in trying.
I have eaten pizza for months at a time. When you have your own store ... the food is free ....... it's a miracle I haven't ballooned out tbh. Must be the 12 hour shifts keeping my weight off.
Pizza fasting sounds awful. Good luck with it
Starting a new gig Monday as a regional sales manager for a financial services company. I'll have a 9 state region to cover and a 6 figure travel & entertainment budget with which to do it.
My best friend lives in Hanford, and is an attorney. He got a job with a firm in Fresno that does worker's comp defenses. He seems to like it.
Keep plugging away.
Thanks.
It's not Idaho, but one of the states is New Mexico. Good thing I like green chile.
Catholic or Protestant?
Where I'm from, "Priest" and "Vicar" are blanket terms for any clergyman from either branch of Christianity. I've also encountered this in other places and from other people throughout the UK, including Northern Ireland where the poster is from.
But in terms of specifics, we generally prefix "Catholic" upon the term if the man of the cloth is indeed Catholic.
Okay, so our priest is a Catholic one. (Nice to meet you, Sagart!) But the term is used by others, including the Eastern Orthodox churches and some Episcopalians.
Lovely signature, if I may say that, being an atheist. Humour appears to be something that - as a general rule - religions are sadly short of.
Sadly, I find that to be true. So many religious people are as miserable as sin (pardon the pun) and not an advert for faith at all. I was raised on a steady diet of Fawlty Towers, The Marx Bros and The Two Ronnies before moving on to the Goons and Eddie Izzard so my poor parishioners don't know what to make of me some times. By the time I throw in some movie and comic references, they wonder if they're in church at all. Which makes me very happy.
A pity you weren't one of my religion teachers at school. I'd propably have a different opinion on the church then. I once got into an argument with the head nun at my boarding school because I claimed that if Jesus was human in every respect except for sin, he'd necessarily have had a good sense of humour. Plus: if a god, by definition, has all virtues to perfection, and humour is indubitably a positive character trait, then god must love a bit of fun now and then.
That earned me 2 weeks of detention.
I'm not sure about other religions, but the catholic church appears to me to be an institution made by old men for old women, with both groups being completely disappointed of life and having a strong tendency to see only the negative things.
They always remind me of people who constantly look at their feet to avoid stepping into poo and this way completely miss out on all those stars, clouds, butterflies, flowers and all other beautiful things surrounding them. It makes me so furious! This world isn't a Vale Of Tears, it's a copy of paradise if only you bother to look!
LOL sorry. I got carried away.
Btw, have you met Reverend Kathy yet? You two should get along very well!
Oops, almost forgot to tell what I do for a living: I'm a botanist, originally, but as those are in small demand, I work fulltime as a labtech for biology and occasionally do some forensic entomology (not half as interesting as some TV shows would like you to believe. And smelly!)
As I'll soon move into a horribly expensive penthouse I am currently looking for a weekend job as a tourist guide, interpretor or proof reader.
