My boss offered to tell me the names of a couple of really nice restaurants in Atlantic City and I said, "Thanks, but we're really only interested in the trashy buffets, I think." That's right, isn't it?
I am planning on hitting it big on the slot machines.

Have fun in AC! As for what I "do". I'm a Project Coordinator for a construction company. Basicly for 8 hours a day, I hide from my boss and dream of one day opening a catering company and ridding myself once and for all of this soul sucking job of mine.

I do... nothing!
Heh. Actually, I am unemployed, having been a production manager for the last 10 years for various book publishers. I also have a graphic design and print buying business with my husband. But I'm looking for other work.... got to pay the bills!

Claudia and I are the same!
Except I'm a medical economist and I don't hide from my boss, per se... I just don't go out of my way to see him.
blackjack tip: actuary way to play... double your bet when you lose, not when you win. that way you are forcing the house to essentially double down on every hand. it sounds weird, but it works. of course, have a limit. you can't just keep doubling your bet when you lose. I do the 5 hand method. if I lose 5 hands in a row i get up and LEAVE.

Damn. Another asshole, right here. Worse, I not only bore the husband to tears with tales of work, but I (gasp) have been known to blog about it, too. I start out with the intention of offering one tiny anecdote of frustration/comedy, but then I can't seem to stop talking. Even while my mind is chanting "stop talking. stop talking you moron, stop talking!"
So the point is, no, I'm not going to tell you what I do, because this could turn into a novel. ;)

Delurking and HA! Try having to check a box that says "homemaker" on an alumni survey from your fancy-schmancy liberal arts college.

Hello! I am a sales representative/buyer for the nation's largest book distributor. (My company is based in Chicago). My company recently merged with the nation's largest DVD distributor, so now I have several new accounts (such as Best Buy, Target) to deal with. I pretty much love it, except for the fact that they no longer pay for mileage, for driving between stores.

You should come to my Target. It's like Neiman Marcus compared to yours. I feel reallly spoiled.
I am a lawyer, and my practice areas are intellectual property, products liability, general civil litigation, and probate.

Ok..I'm delurking to say hello and I love your blog! I can't remember how I came upon it but I used to live in Manhattan and I love reading your daily accounts with the city. Today's post made me laugh out loud. And by the way, it's funny you got one of those yellow urgent cards from your sorority b/c I just got one last week. Hmmm...I wonder if we're in the same one? Well I enjoy your blog!!

Oh, just wait- they just want to sell you a big fancy hardbound sorority directory. It will cost you $100. It makes a wonderful door stop.

Not really de-lurking but I wanted to join in the fun! I'm a spanking new graduate and am finding out that the "real world" totally sucks. Are all first jobs this awful?! Please tell me it gets better.. I'm losing brain cells here. Good news is that I plan to put that hard earned liberal arts degree to work and start teaching in the Fall.
