I'd never work in a call center (again). While I do it well, all the stress from people yelling at me eats my insides.
I'd never be gutter (on your house) cleaner. I'm ok with heights, but not with slanty ones.
I'd never be a garbage collector, because I can't stomach the smells.

waiter - i give those guys all the credit in the world, but i just wouldn't have the patience.

@Beccah - Yeah, I couldn't do the garbage collector thing either but, again, because of dead bodies.
@Skanko - You'd have to deal with the worst of society and not many people can handle the assholes. Well, assholes can handle assholes (my roommate says I can and she's in the service industry).

oh i deal with assholes all the time. but i just would end up spitting in their food all the time.

oh -j, that was my number 2. i dont know if i hated anything more than accounting when i was in school. you are a better man than i am.
@Skanko: trust me, no accountant is a better man than you are, myself included.

@Skanko + -j - I am just going to zone out while you guys commiserate about numbers, m'kay?
(what's the internet "sound" for zoning out?)
@Erinzzz: (I believe the official sound is "You guys suck, I'm-a go look at badgerbadgerbadger.com for a while".)

@ -j - THAT WAS A TRAP! Thank god the phone rang here or I'd STILL be staring at it.

I love hearing that you wouldn't do a job because of the potential for dead folk. Where's Pagne when you need her? :D
Erinzzz said, (80 days ago)
@FFS- Oh, it's true. This rules out any job where I would have to be in murky water for the same reason.
Also, let me clarify. If I know there will be old deadies I am totally down. I dream the dream of dreaminess at a job dealing with mummies.

@Erinzzz: so, yes to the people-jerky, no to the fresh and potentially ooozy dead?
I would never clean hotel rooms because the chance of finding a dead body is WAY to great.
