So, what do you do for a living?
 

Work. It's something we've all gotta do (except for you retired folks). So, what do you do?

I currently work for the Sheriff's department here as a jailer. It's not a bad gig, pays decent and the psych building I work in makes for some interesting days for sure. Not a job I see myself retiring from though. I'm hoping this year to test and get on with the fire department. Before this I worked in a Home Depot warehouse and was a "membership consultant" at a gym. Before all that I served in the Army.

So, that's me. How about the rest of you folks?
