As soon as you finish, it'll be Ducatti time. We have a few pharm students, and a couple Pharm Ds. I try to impress them with my skills in counting in 8's, but it all falls flat when they tell me their starting salaries.

panhandler

Hey Wrench...your "panhandler" occupation reminded me of this sunny afternoon, many years ago, drinking numerous Red Stripes, at the Bull & Whistle on the corner of Duval and Caroline in Key West.

While sitting on the second level balcony, I was watching this guy standing on the corner holding a sign that read "Dirty Jokes $1". While I sat there for way too many hours, watching and listening to this guy, he probably averaged about fifty people stopping per hour, dropping a dollar into his upturned cowboy hat, and listening to one of the guy's fifteen lame dirty jokes.

Eventually the guy folded up his sign, pocketed his earnings, grabbed his hat, and headed on his way.

Two days later, while I was heading out to dinner, there he was...the same guy, the same sign, the same corner. I started thinking...fifty dollars and hour, averaging just four hours a day, three hundred days a year(he needs some vacation time)...thanks $60,000, tax free, for telling lame dirty jokes. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?

Too bad I can't tell a joke worth a damn. I think panhandling has got to pay more than motorcycle mechanics right now. Winter in this economy...sucks big time

I'm a mechanical assembly tech for a research company that converts sugars into gasoline.
Love the job, don't pay squat, and my manager spends most of his day admiring his colon.
Ever since I left the Marines, it seems each job I have sucks more than the last one. Nothing compares to being in the service.
Sorry for complaining, must be the middle age.[sad]
