    What does everyone do for a living? I'am a Dialysis Nurse. Long hours, same boring thing day in, day out. But I do get to stick people with big ass needles and play with blood.

    I answer phones these days... I started a low cost spay neuter clinic we do 20-50 surgeries a day-I worked my ass off for 2 years 10-12 hour days , then got knocked up, so now I stay at home with my offspring. I do work in the clinic 2 days a month- when we are at a slow location...and I take the baby with me- its safer then daycare.

    I like answering calls and being rude to stupid people. We get emails all the time complaining about me being a bitch, about our website (they say we have videos that are 2 graphic)

    I love it when people say LET ME TALK TO YOUR MANAGER- I say hold on- then say "can I help you"... They get pissed and say WELL LET ME TALK TO THE OWNER - then I do the same thing.
    I am only rude to breeders, and really retarded people

    I like it when people call and say- "Yall dewormed my dog ...and now he is poopin worms everywhere...he did not have worms till yall dewormed him" its sad, I get this call at least 2 times a week.

    the people are so stupid in the areas we go... I have had people bring us dogs to be spayed (because its the law when you adopt from a pound) then they ask when they pick them up "what age should I breed her?"
    I have had 2 people complain that they had a male dog neutered - and he still has a penis

    we tell people no food or water after 10pm the night before surgery- one lady brought us a dog half dead... she said "well yall said dont feed or water him a week before surgery"

    at this one REDNECK location - about 2 times a month we get someone that cant read...and we have to go thru the paper work and read it to them and fill it out.

    I thought it was because nobody made a knife that small.

    I work for a building restoration company, we clean and seal concrete, brick, brick pavers and pretty much every surface you could imagine. I strip and stain decks when we're slow which sucks but it pays the bills.

    My boss is goin to teach me to build websites when the season is over. I'm fuckin stoked cause I get to sit on my ass all winter and not get a real job.

    GAS, what kind of sites are you wanting to build? If you can use the tags on this board you can build a pretty simple information site, then you can get into ASPs and stuff down the road. Form mailers and all that.

    I would like to get some knowledge with Apache, but we are all windows based so it aint gonna happen. I do have a little macromedia flash/mx but no time to work on it seriously.

    I need a raise.

    Gonna start with a few directory sites most likely, they're a total pain in the ass to make but once they're up you just update em and cash the checks. I'll probably build a Fugly type website as a little side project just to see how it goes.

    I'll keep you informed, shit I'll probably be hitting you up for help quite a bit.

    Ive done a few 'free sites' in the past, but get really burnt out doing for hire. I dont like someone else's artistic side screwing up my plan. :)

    If you want to tinker around sites like netfirms and 150m are pretty decent for 'free hosting' and the ads arent terrible.

    That's the beauty of directories, you put a shit ton of links on your page, throw in some pictures and google ads and then update it. Lots of work to set up but easy to maintain.
