What jobs would you HATE to have?
1. Nurse - I am SO not good with icky. I don't think I could survive being a nurse.

2. Any job that involved driving in city traffic all day - delivery person, cab driver etc. Traffic can bring out my evil monster - it might become a permanent condition if I drove all day.

1. Trash collector (or anything involving waste)
I just couldn't handle the slime and grime, nor the stench. :puke:


Mother-I'm not equipped for a job that goes 24/7 for at least 18 years. (especially without pay)

7. I drive in traffic a lot and I hate it...always on a schedule too, but I
like the job part of my job.

I would not want to be a hairstylist or waitstaff ever again. The purchasing public are nasty. :hi:

8. I like driving
It's the traffic I can't deal with - I can feel my blood pressure going up in a traffic jam.

9. Living in Detroit, most of the traffic I deal with is heavy, crabby
driving. I like when MrG and I take the kids out to the country, but can't stand the parking lot portion of my job.

14. There are some...
1. Euthanasia technician.

2. ANY job at Wal-Mart.

3. Portable toilet service technician, or whatever they call the guy who drives the shit-sucker truck.

4. Garbage man.

5. Survivor assistance officer--the commissioned officer who knocks on your door to tell you that your husband was killed in Iraq. (This is the only job the Army actually tells you "do not 'fortify' yourself with alcoholic beverages before performing your duty.")

6. Repossessor.

7. Stunner in a slaughterhouse.

16. Fortune cookie stuffer.
I'd want to keep all the good ones for myself.

Versatility is one of your outstanding traits!

Those who fail to properly care for cars and trucks risk being run over while asleep in bed.

Ideas are funny little things, they don't work unless you do.

The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least one of us is right.

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

The greatest danger could be stupidity.

and on and on and on . . . .

36. My sister does that
Ironically, though she's a devout Christian, she is not a member of the church she works at because she considers them too conservative.

23. Labor and Delivery nurse
I can't watch Birth Day and those other shows on Discovery Health where babies are born, not because I don't like the subject matter jut because I want to scream at the stupid assholes "managing" those ladies' labors.

I'd get myself fired within a week for telling the doctors who run those places what fucking morons they are when they do dumbass shit like positioning the mother in the lithotomy position, giving her an aminotomy, administering an epidural and then telling her that her labor is too slow as if that were her fault. :eyes:

30. LeftyMom--
those make me nuts too. I considered working in that field, in hopes that I could help moms to make things better--but the docs are such assholes it seems. Just want to run in and catch the baby, then go back to golfing or whatever.

A friend recently had a doc totally trick her into inducing her labor. I'm still pissed about it. He induced, before she was ready and the baby wasn't ready--so the baby didn't drop at all--so of course then he did a c-section. :grr: :mad:

32. It must not be a new phenomenon
My mother "had to have" a section because I was breech- at 38 weeks! Then the section (at 36 weeks so she wouldn't go into labor and risk rupture?!?) with my younger sister because nobody around here was doing VBACs (Mom didn't even know there was such a thing until we talked about it while I was expecting.)

So for twenty years my poor mother thought something was wrong with her because some impatient ass couldn't wait a few more weeks for me to get my head down, let alone consider a vaginal delivery of a frank breech in an otherwise healthy mother and child (yeah I know that usually involves a big episiotomy, but in my book that's still a step ahead of a section.)

37. Pilot
I can't bat 100% for life. I hit a decent percentage but sometimes I'm way off. In golf I can hit one drive 300 yards and the next one left, right or on the ground. I figured out at an early age pilot was the one thing I was never cut out for. Funny, I never mentioned that to anyone but my dad told me the same exact thing about himself less than a year ago, also using pilot as an example.

Also I could never be a high level basketball coach. No chance I could stand there in a coat and tie and calmly watch a missed free throw determine my fate in the final seconds, or have a middleaged ref nonchalantly make a hideous call that alters the outcome.

38. no pantyhose
Any job where you have to wear panthose. Except maybe if you have to wear them on your head as part of a costume. That might be fun. Or maybe those crotchless ones... they must feel kind of interesting.
