Wow, I'm a big wimp in real life. If backed into a corner I'm fierce as hell, but for most stuff I'm a big giant doormat. ;)

Don't tell foot and ut I might lose my position with the jamaicans, mon.

Hey, can I get a job as a doormat?

You could probably sign junkies in to rehab pretty good.

I have no doubt that you'd manage business casual much better than I am, at least.

Check your state's employment assistance office's listings for jobs. My experience of Pennsylvania's are that they are unusual, sometimes in niche markets or businesses seeking to develop new markets. It's not all sales and heavy lifting kinds of jobs, either.

While he's doing some sort of driving job now, sycamore used to work as a long-term temp in a number of different office contexts. All kinds of experience, lots of flexibility, and usually full-time hours. Worth a shot. I had put out feelers to a company specializing in nut-wrangling temps just before I got my tender for hire from the rehab.

Hmm, you might make a fair domestic servant. Though, you are getting rather old

I think she'll need to be domesticated some, first.

Being a maid has a really limited lifespan. Butlers, however, seem to retain their positions well into their dotage, if Masterpiece Theater is art imitating life.

There should be more female butlers.

This could be the opportunity you are looking for.

Maids mature into housekeepers, from where they boss about the new maids.

Which may make your experience in student finance useful.

I know that in PA at least they pay female crane operators especially well because they need females to make equality quotas, plus they train you.

I'm still considering heavy equipment operation, and forestry.

Also up for consideration: dog groomer, lobster boat inspector, chicken sexer.

Actually really only dog groomer or lobster boat inspector. I'd settle for chicken boat inspector.

I ran into an old cow orker on Saturday: she retired before I left my last job. She was telling me about a woman who was nearing fifty and went to HC (a college that centers around agriculture and forestry, and stuffs) and now lives on an island off of Maine, and works in a restaurant and the govt employs her to inspect lobster boats too.

Yeah, I could do that. Would just need a warm body to go with me for those cold Maine winter nights. ;)

Medical coding is still on my list too.

For the inevitable, I mean, um...er IN CASE OF dislocation of my job. ;)

You could totally be a lobster boat inspector.

"Yup, that's a lobster boat."

Perry Winkle 04-03-2013 09:18 AM

"How do you know that's a chicken boat?"

"It's got wings, doesn't it?"

Undertoad 04-03-2013 09:48 AM

What? Chicken butt!

infinite monkey 04-03-2013 10:28 AM

Hahahahahah! I was telling my family this story on Easter sunday...my sis in law was like...what are you looking for? "Rubber band around claw? Check!"

Then we got into people trying to let un-rubber banded lobster to be accepted. I was like "NO! You let one claw get through..."

There was more to it, but we laughed a lot. Then my mom decided I'd be better suited for inspecting chicken boats since I don't eat crustaceans. I could drive around farms on a golf cart: Chicken? Check! Another chicken...check.

You probably had to be there. ;)

I'm about ready to get my CDL. I could be all about hauling the gravel.
