| Amber-dawn User Info... | I rotate between 2 vet clinics, as a receptionist. One is fairly busy, one isn't. I'm at the not so busy one this week, so I'm online a lot. What do you do? We all have to work, that's reality. Maybe you found something you don't hate to do? Tell me.. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 10:07am | ||
| McLovin User Info... | I used to be a vegan too. Now I eat Salmon, crab, free range eggs, and rennet free cheese. As far as my "job" goes, if I told you what I do, I'd have to kill you. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:01am | ||
| Amber-dawn User Info... | Heh-ok. You're conscious about what you eat-that's good. I've been craving animal stuff lately, but I haven't given in. I miss cheese and fish the most. I did find a vegan cheese that's pretty decent, but it's still not as good and expensive. I hate the dairy industry though. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:16am Edited: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:21am | ||
| McLovin User Info... | I just hate factory farming. Dairy doesn't have to be evil. It's not the healthiest thing for humans though. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:22am | ||
| Amber-dawn User Info... | kind of weird how we drink another animals milk-we're the only mammal who drink milk past infancy, and it's from some other species. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:32am | ||
| McLovin User Info... | ........another species that has SEVEN stomachs no less. Yeah, I don't drink milk. I like the occasional fine cheese though. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:37am | ||
| Amber-dawn User Info... | Being vegan is hard when you have no vegan friends. Somehow I've lasted 2 and a half years though. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 11:43am | ||
| Nicholas Antoni Marek Gibas User Info... | I cook at a pub. It's a death sentence turned into a career. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 3:24pm | ||
| DOOMHAMMER User Info... | Ive been vegan for around 10 years, and I havent found it that hard. I guess its easier for me though because my girlfriend went vegan months ago, and my room mate did over a year ago. The best vegan cheese is one you can sometimes find at the douglas lifestyles thats from scotland, damn good. But really, you're never going to find a good substitute, you're pretty much fooling yourself. Good thing I dont mind bland foods! - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 5:46pm | ||
| The Other Nick User Info... | "I cook at a pub. It's a death sentence turned into a career." fuck... that pretty much sums it up - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 7:09pm | ||
| Amber-dawn User Info... | Yeah, Sheese is pretty good. - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 8:14pm | ||
| Tambo User Info... | "It's a death sentence turned into a career." ^ My job - Wed, 9 Jan 2008 10:23pm | ||
| Lucius User Info... | Design hardware and software for Ocean Acoustics @ the Institute of Ocean Sciences. Great pay, great hollidays, good travel, loads of the newest equipment/software. Basically if you can't design/produce something in my office then you don't know engineering. Cheers, Lucius - Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:22am | ||
| Tambo User Info... | Jay Balls used to work there, it's right near my house! - Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:33am | ||
| [email protected] User Info... | And my brother-in-law Keith Shepherd used to work at O.C., boogie-ing around in that nutty submersible and operating ROPOS. /but what if I can design/produce one of those fold-over paper flap thingies with numbers on them? They fit over your fingers, someone picks a number, you flap it back and forth the amount of times of the picked number, fold open that paper, and read out to the poor soul their future. THAT'S not done in your office, I'll fuckin' bet. And I'm as engineer as shit. /allow me to regale you sometime about cad's cradle. - Tue, 15 Jan 2008 3:41pm | ||

| MindlessMikeyJay User Info... | im going to have to agree with Nicholas Antoni Marek Gibas on cooking, IT IS A DEATH SENTENCE!!. Moody Waitresses, Cooks being dicks, High volume of orders and that FUCKING PRINTER!!! I want to break one!! Its gets soooo annoying after 20 minutes of contant printing. I worked at the Swiftsure Resturant for 2 1/2 years and we would have up to 120 tables from 7-11 in the morning and then by 2pm we would be up to 300 almost. And now i work at Maude Hunters Part time and its ok... not as bad as the other place. - Fri, 18 Jan 2008 8:33pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Ain't White-Outs phun?!? :) Jeez, and I've worked in 300-400 seat restaurants too. But I can't do the same work I could before. - Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:34pm | ||

| McLovin User Info... | I made that. - Sun, 20 Jan 2008 2:01pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | I alphabetized an entire wall of books. 18 feet wide and 9 feet high. Entered them all up in a spreadsheet. Was decent work, 'cept for the spiders who kept me company. I did their vinyl collection a few months ago... way fewer critters in there. I had to give up on a fabrics job because I didn't know how to describe textiles or designs/patterns properly. boo. I also get to go shopping for fancy spice bottles and labels - something that looks nice in a new kitchen with cool spice racks built in. Then I do up all the labels, fill 'em up with good quality stuff and set up lists so they can keep track of what they need for shopping trips. Hoping to get another home office to organize & hopefully make a quick ergonomic assessment of so I can set it up with new stuff. I like the work when I can get it. And I like working on the sites a lot. YAY! - Sun, 20 Jan 2008 2:35pm Edited: Sun, 20 Jan 2008 2:37pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | p.s. Doug made a post in this thread that apparently didn't make it through for some reason. Its up there now. - Sun, 20 Jan 2008 2:39pm | ||
| CM User Info... | I teach at Camosun, and I love my job. My students love me, too. Here's a clip from a recent evaluation: "...and please buy some new clothes. The 15 year-old look is embarassing." That one hurt - hit me really close to home. - Sun, 20 Jan 2008 3:18pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | LOL...I love all the food service people in here. I fall into the "moody waitress" catagory. I'm a damn good waitress though and I like it. I'm on mat leave until Sept and this is the best job ever!! My girl rules. As far as being vegan went for me. I made it a year, many years ago. I dropped a ton of weight (anyone who knows me knows how scary that is!) and was super sick all the time. Turns out that I don't digest protein from beans. That sucked. Now I eat it all!! Except beans that is. - Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:21pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | I work for North Douglas/Sysco Distributors. If you work in the food service industry and order food and supplies from North Doug I work the night shift picking your damn orders while driving around on a pallet jack. I hate building skids with pizza boxes, fucking pizza boxes! And I also hate the milk crates, having to spend 15 minutes cleaning up cream because you took a corner too fast does not equal good times. Other than a few annoying items it's a really fun job, it's like playing a giant game of Tetris all night long. - Mon, 21 Jan 2008 2:57pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | I work at a bar, great fun. I get to drive a sound system all night and I can drink at work. Can't beat it. I take classes at Camosun too. CM is an awesome teacher!! ~I'm not drunk, you're just hearing things Doc - Mon, 21 Jan 2008 3:39pm | ||

| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Haha, he was saying lastnight that he wants to play too, i'll let him down gently. I asked him about you tonight so I get the connection. - Tue, 22 Jan 2008 3:22am | ||
| Evul User Info... | I work as a software developer for an online video marketing company. Doing lots of cool flash stuff right now, so I'm enjoying it :) "By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. " - Bill Hicks - Wed, 23 Jan 2008 3:57pm | ||

| tom User Info... | I purchase seafood for a company for distribution through BC, Alberta and the US. Just secured another 1 million lbs of halibut from Alaska for the year. It's a fun and frustrating job all at the same time - Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:21am | ||
| MindlessMikeyJay User Info... | hey Masturbater.... do you know Luke Laughey at ND? He does that shift too. He's my best friend. - Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:02pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Haha, jesus, North Doug runs deep. Yeah, Luke is one of my favorite people there. On Fridays after work we drink beers in the parking lot. - Thu, 24 Jan 2008 2:29pm | ||
| MindlessMikeyJay User Info... | Yay he is a cool shit, known him for almost 25 years.. his family is like my family. Good drinker! - Thu, 24 Jan 2008 3:13pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Good times, call him Altmix next time you see him just watch out if he goes to punch you. Then tell him Denise said he's a douche! Luke is the fastest picker on the shift, I'm never going to be at his speed. - Thu, 24 Jan 2008 4:34pm | ||
