Used to be a bricklayer before medical retirement. 

Do you know how to do dry stone walls, Rob? I love the old dry stone walls in the UK. 

I have done some of it in a small scale. Its mad. I love stone  and spent years doing paving with york stone and Indian sandstone. Very pretty in the  rain and the pointing of said paving i used to enjoy making it all stand out. The weather  here makes only a few good months to work nicely though

I run the Optical of my wife's private practice Optometry office.  The boring side is scheduling appointments, verifying insurance, billing, filing insurance claims, and ordering glasses/contacts/office and optical supplies.
The fun side is meeting with frame reps and selecting which frames we will bring in to sell, helping people pick out new frames, helping then understand their lens options, doing the measurements necessary to make them, and dispensing them/troubleshooting issues.

Well i worked at my last job (retail store) for almost 15 years before we filed for chapter 11 and officially closed at the end of October.

Right now I'm working at a supply company that makes disinfectants, cleaning supplies, etc... I'm a packer there and it's a temp job. It does pay pretty nice and the hours are good. Time goes by quickly most of the time. It's very repetitive though. For now it will do until I figure out what I really want to do. I know it's not retail and I don't want to do this permanently. 

I was in retail for a very long time—I managed two independent bookstores, and I was a buyer/merchandiser for two different (no longer operational in the brick-and-mortar sense) record store chains. I enjoyed it a lot more than what I do now, but I couldn’t pay the bills or healthcare coverage. My girlfriend at the time (now wife) had an office job and claimed me as a domestic partner on her very reasonable healthcare plan.

I don’t know if the retail game is still the same, but the harsh economic realities of being a retail worker whose health and safety was apparently less valued than someone who sits on his ass in a cubicle all day is what sent me down another career path.

I love how every adult film performer is instantly a star.

Hey, that makes two 10 Clubbers in that fine film. @Big Bank Hank was in it, too.

Well, "Adult Film Legend" sounded to cocky.

Government worker, I assess documents to see if they meet certain conditions. I stated a year ago and I'm really enjoying it. Lots of variety.

I mostly preload the UPS trucks in the morning and during peak season I help out delivering all the packages to the King of Prussia Mall. Been here for like 2 1/2 years now. Not too bad, gets frustrating sometimes.

During the summer I started another part time job in the afternoon. I pick up special needs kids from school and drop them off at their home. The one in the summer was ok,, it was pretty easy route. Was suppose to pick up two kids. One kid never showed up the entire summer (one and half months) and the other showed up one time. So for the most part I just drove to the school and back to the bus lot. It was easy and all,  Just got a new route starting today cause it's the first day of school for most kids around here.

Was an electric vibrator tech for 23 years. Got fed up with getting a new boss every few years that didn’t know how to do my job, tell me how to do my job. Demoted myself and took a job on a press brake

Ha, that’s the usual reaction. They’re electric motors with weights on end of shafts. The motion moves material
