4. Other. There are aspects of it I enjoy, and I really like the people I
work with, but I am seeking something more fulfilling (and with better PAY dammit!)

16. Yup
I don't have a job. But then again I'm a student. And I don't feel like getting a summer job (although my parents wanted me to)

19. What? No!
I'm saying you're probably someone's mom or wife or something. Even if you're not, you're still a full time American and probably a Democrat and activist. At the very least you are a DUer!

11. Not currently working but I did love my last job...
Personal assistant to a rich, young lesbian who owned a sex toy manufacturing company. It fucking rocked.

I just finished up bartending school and am currently looking for a bartending job.

12. Everyone should work for a rich, young lesbian
who owns a sex toy manufacturing company.

Even if only briefly, because it would look so damn cool on the resume next to "database architect."

15. A dept head who is inducing attrition, and supervisors who are
green (new to supervising and despite numerous violations don't fire the bastards who deserve it), born in a barn (they keep doors open during meetings)... and other coworkers resigning or even walking out (including the previous dept head)... I'm about to do the same. I now wonder if what's happening to me is primarily stress-induced. My job is killing me. Literally. I nearly collapsed twice today and had a shitter of a headache for HOURS.
