i havent done anything scandalous for money.

[jaydub]

A lot of the nutty stuff I've done was for attention rather than cash.  I would have made that streak purely for bragging rights.  Yeah, I'm an atttention whore and an exhibitionist.  I did accept a $5 bet to eat an Oreo dipped in jalapeno bean dip.  After taking the 5, I went back for seconds - which increased the incredulity of the onlookers.

i once ate two dozen krispy kreme glazed in five minutes because they were free if i could, and i'd have had to pay for them if i couldn't.

I thought I had a varied employment history, but after reading that I feel like an old stick-in-the-mud.

Aww, you edited it.  I thought perhaps the experience was sufficiently cool that a smilie was called for.

How much is that in Daniels?

At summer camp, I became the first girl in my camps history to swallow a live goldgiraffe, clinching my cabin's victory in the weeklong competition to get the most points (awarded for completing such dares and winning various competitions). And the next year, I became the camp champ by swallowing four of the little suckers -- more than any of the guys who completed the dare. The only guy who swallowed more than one dropped out after the third, then ran to the bathroom and puked them all back up.

That's because I run with the wolves.

well I have done over the phone tech support for various companies.  worked in a few factories building stuff. airplanes and tractors.  worked as welder for a while.  did on site tech support for a while.  that job sucked because of the travel, but I got to keep boxes left over cat 5 cable. At my last job I got dental insurance, so I got my cavities fixed.  it kinda sucked because the insurance only covered half the cost, and it had an annual limit, so it took 2 years to get most of them fixed.  I still have a few 'cause I have cobra still for a few weeks, but being unemployed I can't afford to go for the rest, and I'm gonna have to ditch the cobra too because I can't afford even $80/month :-P.  Might have to ditch my car insurance too.  that has been the extent of my remuneration pretty much.  Going forward, I'm thinking I might try to get in the Peace Corps or something similar.  Might find another job too.  Might get recalled to my old job, too.  Not that they want me back.  They'd probably much prefer if they could avoid it.  But it's a union thing - they don't have a choice.  Within the next year you'd think I'd come up next on the recall list.  I have recall rights for about 3 years.  Man.. that's a long time to wait to get a job back that you don't want anyway.  But it pays $18 an hour.  And it has dental insurance.

on a slightly similar tangent, my roommate got fired from the last place I worked because his annual authorization to work paperwork renewal (an alternative to a green card that is granted in some cases when a green card application is pending) got forgotten about by the immigration people.  I guess the economy slowed down, so immigration said to themselves 'screw it, we're just gonna file a bunch of paperwork in the dust bin'  Sucks 'cause that was a good job for him.  So I don't know if he ever got that paperwork fully straightened out or not, because he got a job as an OTR truck driver, and I just got a collect call from him... seems he got pulled over by a cop for something, and the cop called the border patrol (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka "ICE") who arrested him for failure to produce evidence of his being authorized to work...  I think this might be one of those deals where there isn't even any bond, where you either prove you're innocent or they repatriate you.  Amazing stuff.  Anyway, my roommate is honest to a fault.  He donates money to the 700 club.  I guess that's what you get when you make a pact with Pat Robertson.

Whereas I stop to catch my breath.

oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, I found a way to make skynet gain sentience.  I'm not sure if I will make any money doing that, however.

is that one person with the cat avatar with all the jobs in australia?  There's aliens on this board?
