+JMBella Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I own a Real Estate Auction company. Being self employed means I can leave anytime I want to go caching. For instance, It's 1:32 in the afternoon and I'm going to leave right now and go caching. Here I go... crap.. phone's ringing.... OK, now I'm going... wait, got an appointment in 20 minutes. I'll go after. No wait I can't, got a closing this afternoon. I can go after that. It'll be dark by then. I'll have to go in the dark. Wait, can't, gotta show a house tonight. Sounds good in theory. Maybe I should get a 9-5. At least I'd be able to call in sick every now and then. Quote Link to comment

+Vinny & Sue Team Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I have had a very fun and zig-zag career path, and I currently wear several hats. The main hat which I wear is this one: I work as a recruiter (mostly via web ads) and trainer for, ahem, "field operatives" who ahem, find and harvest organs destined for transplant to needy resipients. You may have heard tales of a friend of a friend, or of your aunt's son's best friend, who, while traveling in a strange town, met an attractive member of the opposite gender (or whatever gender they prefer) in a bar, and then next thing that they knew, they awoke in pain in an ice-filled bathtub in a hotel room, with a note (instructing them to call 911 promptly for ambulance transport to a hospital) and a phone nearby, to discover one of their kidneys had been surgically harvested by professional organ thieves and that the surgical cut in their abdomen had been crudely sutured. Indeed, there are several websites which claim that these tales are merely urban legend. Conversely, there are other websites, and also some magazine articles, which scathingly refer to this activity as "Black Market Organ Harvesting". My employer (a large, suave and ultra-hip healthcare corporation which prides itself on riding the "cutting edge" in biomedical technology) feels that the reality is betwixt and between: there is a great demand for these organs, and some people are willing to pay well for them, and so this creates a healthy market for organs. That market must be satisfied, sometimes with organs obtained through a bit of deception. So our company hires bright young field technicians, aka harvesters, usually kids fresh out of college with a freshly-minted degree in biochemistry, nursing or medicine, who go out across the USA and across the world to find, ahem, involuntary organ donors. Well, someone has to recruit and train those professional organ harvesters who, ahem, interact with travelers to screen them quickly for health and appropriate potential genetic match and the relieve them of an excess kidney (or other organ), and these harvesting technicians must also be trained as professionals to handle, store and transport the organs properly, and I am one of the seventeen recruiters/trainers employed by our fine corporation. By the way, our company stopped harvesting hearts and whole livers a few years ago, as the donors invariably never lived thru the operations, and our professional field technicians were thus technically guily of felony homicide. This created a major logistical and public relations nightmare for our esteemed corporation (which is Dun and Bradstreet listed and fully HIPAA compliant and HEDIS rated), and we now train our field technicians to harvest only kidneys and pieces of liver, and occasionally a bit of bone marrow. Some of our competitors (particularly in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia) still do stoop to harvesting whole livers and hearts and lungs from involuntary donors at times, but our corporation takes the high road, as we feel that these latter practices put our fine industry in a bad light. I also moonlight part-time for the space aliens, particularly the reptoid reptilians and the alien grays and their Bavarian Illumanti cohorts, helping them to identify and locate humans who are good candidates for alien abduction. In fact, we sometimes use certain geocaches to lure pre-qualified people out in the wilderness away from civilization, where they may be abducted more easily.
