What Do You Do...

[SPKr]

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 and trainer for, ahem, "field operatives" who ahem, find and harvest organs destined for transplant. You may have heard tales of a friend of a friend, or of your aunt's son's best friend, who 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 an ice-filled bathtub in a hotel room, with a note and a phone nearby, to discover one of their kidneys had been harvested by organ thieves and that they had been crudely stitched up. Indeed, there are several websites which claim that these tales are merely urban legend. Well, someone has to recruit and train those organ harvesters who, ahem, interact with travelers and relieve them of excess kidneys, and they must be trained to handle, store and transport the organs properly. Our company had to stop harvesting livers and hearts, as the donors invariably never lived thru the operations, and our technicians were thus technically guily of felony homicide. This created a major logistical and public relations nightmare for our corporation, and we now train our field technicians to harvest only kidneys and pieces of liver.

 

(Note to self: NEVER go back to Maryland)

[+Silly Look]

Compliance Officer for an Underwriting Management Firm. I make sure our company is licensed in the states we write business in, we follow the laws of those states and use the appropriate forms, and we don't bone the insured’s.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing. I only know no one; I mean NO ONE in the insurance field or this office wants my job. I can't quit because the money is to good, and they won't fire me because that means somebody else has to do the job. So I'm currently sitting at my desk polishing ammo.

I drive the PEPSI truck so we can all have GeoRefreshments after a long day of caching

 

GOD bless the PEPSI man...yeah a six pack of DP will do.

 

Not to be the bummer man, but

Most nights I become the owner and sole photographer for an event/wedding/portrait photography business. Looking forward to retire and get rid of the "most days" job and continue with the "most nights" job. Long live retirement!

[tttedzeins]

Mostly I travel. Try not to do too much work especially for other people.

Decided years ago that I was not going to do much with my life so may as well travel.

I worked a a bar tender at a very popular club in Durban while studying Electronic Engineering, then I figured what the hell does one do with an electronic engineering degree, so now I travel.

 

I think that qualifies as a slacker
