What can I say, I'm cheap but very thorough.

I tried that line of work for a while; but, some of the husbands heard about the taste test and I was forced to move my practice... Several times.

Cargo agent / college student. Cant wait till I graduate, then I can just deal with one kind of BS in a day.

Job isnt bad, co-workers are cool and my boss pretty much lets me do what I want and will cover for me whenever I want to take off. Plus I dont have to take any BS when customers get mad, they start to lose their temper I can tell them to leave or have them removed, perk of working at an airport.

Bad part is the hours suck, start at 4am Mon-Fri and work till I go to class. Im lucky to get more than one day a week off.

Plus customers are complete retards, the phonecalls I get are just stupid. People expect me to be able to give them directions to our building from everywhere, try a map And try making people understand that our planes only hold so much ( twin engine Saabs, not 747s) and that it may have to wait till tomorrow to get their stuff out.

Also, Transport Canada is a real PITA, always trying to catch us not following the regs, even though not all have to be to completely screen a shipment. I did catch one of them and called him on it, he wasnt too happy. When he asked me how I knew I told him it was the shoes

Well, I once was a Stall-Technician at some stables in the area, but now I'm a full time student at University of Missouri - Rolla, soon to be known as MoTach. When I'm home, I work at Bristol Seafood Grill as a buser. At school, I work for a rich dude in town doing whatever he tells me to do, usually painting or landscaping. In 4.5 years, I'll be a mechanical engineer.

I'm the bakery manager at the local Wal-Mart supercenter, which sucks ***! (good use of my 4 year degree in management, huh? )
Starting in January I'm going back to school to get my professional teaching certificate (already have my temp. one) to teach business at the HS/MS level.
Hopefully next month I'll get to leave Wal-Mart and be the new ISS teacher at a local middle school. It'd be a great way to get my foot in the door for when I get my professional certificate in June. I have an interview on the 8th. Wish me luck!

I think I can handle some middle schoolers with foul mouths. I live in a pretty "safe" area.
