currently i like my job. I valle cars at a four star resort so i get to drive a lot of nice cars, even if it's only 30 mph :p. other than that, i drive golf carts around and deliver things, take people where they want to go and so forth. My "job" really only entails being happy and charming with the guests and making them feel welcome [we are their first impression] which really isn't hard at all.

had a job at starbucks, hated it, but definately nothing compared to what some of you are talking about.

In the pool biz now. Pretty cool gig. The dress code is a t-shirt and short pants.
There is this hardass guy whos been there a zillion years who makes the some
days stressful , but theres a guy like that at every job. Gotta learn how to sacrifice
your time and energy for making money. It beats hanging around the park all day.

Damn Red that's some nice work. Not to pry or anything, but are you self employed or do you work under people? Cause with work like that I don't see why you couldn't start your own company.
