Do you like your job or do you hate every job you have ever done?
-
From the bottom of my heart I can honestly say I absolutly love my job.
I like to be in charge and lead people and my guys and girls keep me constantly moving addaption and thinking of
new solutions and new ways to motivate people.

I used to be a teacher, a network admin, a manager on a programming project, a grocery store clerk, I even did landscaping for a while. I hated most of these jobs and would just watch the clock til I could come home. I'm really happy with my job now tho, working in my PJs most days and splitting my work day up into 2 or 3 or 8 shifts as I do other things.

I tell you my best work/job ever was, I made an aprentiantship as a zookeeper, 3 years with school etc. so I'm a qualified zookeeper but getting work in that regard is super hard.
But that was my best job ever, you have to use your brain your body and you feeling at all times.
Never ever had I another job were the work as such was so versatile, no day was comparable to another... best fucking job ever.
-
I hate work, havent worked a real job in over 5 years.
-
I've worked in cemetery's doing landscaping, as well as funeral services. I've been a full-time (and part-time) professional musician for nearly 15 years, worked security for Entertainment stores, merchandised and driven 18 wheel semi-trucks. As well as a handyman when I was younger (G-pa told me what/how to do it and I did).
Currently, I've been doing the Delivery Agent gig with a few other things interspersed. I have to say I'm happiest doing this, and I don't get bored with it at all. There's always something that is new and keeps you on your toes, and I get complacent quickly.
-
I like work in any capacity. I even enjoyed community service when I got sentanced. I can't stand just sitting around at home.

I'm probably gonna grill some chicken tonight....only wish I had time to put the chickens in a brine.

Can we say you are THE UNDERTAKER?

It's basically salt water. Take some whole chickens, clean em up, quarter em, take a gallon ziploc bag, put chicken in the bag, mix a cup of salt with enough water to fill and seal the bag, fill the bag with the salt water (brine) and let the chickens sit for no more than 24 hours. Remove the chicken, wash them off good, and then season the chicken however you like and grill em up....beautiful.

in your opinion, is that the best way to prepare chicken, taste-wise? Or is there another method you find superior?
-

I hate it. Check my related topic from 1 year ago. Nothing changed. :)

For bone in chicken I think that's best to prep the chicken before you let it marinade and then grill. For boneless you don't need the brine cause you can take a chicken breasts, pound it out flatter (eliminating the heavy chicken taste) and really allow your seasonings/marinades to get into the meat better. Although, bone in, yeah I'd go with a brine...it seems to help tenderize while locking in juice and flavors all at once.

wow, i've never pounded boneless chicken before but it really does seem like it makes sense. Do you use one of those funny little hammers with the ridged edges?

Every damn day........ain't nothin better. Granted, you gotta invest a bit more prep time, but I think it's worth it.....no, no....I know it's worth it.

I googled Meat Hammer and for some reason, pounding meat is very popular in one particular sexual subculture.
Anyway, is this what you use:

If that's what tickles your pickle, sure.
I've dug probably 200 graves, lowered twice as many bodies into the ground, and filled just as many holes as I lowered. I've lifted 400lbs bodies in a casket (with three-5 other workers of course), and seen 1000's of family members mourn the loss of a loved one. Only seen one "jumper" that couldn't stand to see her baby being lowered into the ground before her.
I did one service where a 12 year old girl was killed by crossing a freeway with 5 lanes in each direction...because he dad thought that was a better shortcut than using the overpass. The person that hit her was drunk. As we lowered the lid over her casket into the ground, the straps broke and nearly splintered the casket into pieces leaving her body to be seen by all bystanders. During this funeral, the procession was around 6 miles long...the cars leaving the mortuary during the service were pulling out of the driveway just as the first cars were pulling into our cemetery.
I also buried a high school acquaintance that was killed in a car accident because the girl driving the vehicle at 120+mph lost control and "forgot" to turn the car with the freeways curve. The car rolled and snapped his neck killing him instantly.
All of this and I worked in two different cemeteries for a little over 2 years total.
And then there was the green body.....that was interesting!

I'm setting aside some time this evening to thoroughly pound my meat.

Any and all really.....it's a kitchen aid I can't do without.

100% love what I do!!

what about eggs? how do you roll?
I've been using the southwestern eggbeaters - just so much easier than cracking so many shells each morning.

I've never able to fully commit to eggbeaters....they're not bad, but I take my time in the kitchen...it's my little church of happiness so I crack the shells. I don't eat as many during the week due to the work farts.

something tells me squadfather won't be able to contribute very much to this thread.

And I bet that ankle bracelet itches, too.

i work alone in my office. the only person who suffers is my son, who usually hides when daddy bakes an air biscuit.

I like my line of work, but pretty much hate my current position. I sold my small business in NY and moved to CO and took a job with a firm, and now realize I dislike working for anyone else. Unfortunately, I signed a contract so I'm stuck here until July. July 1st, I'm OUT of here.

I busted my ass and ate shit to open my own business, and after 5 yrs I'm
still learning everyday, and I love it. Even when I have to pay 6 people and I
get invoiced rather than checks, I still love it. I wouldn't trade places
with anyone!
If you work you're ass off, and convince you'reself you love it even if
it gets tough once and a while, you can make bank.
USA all the Fuckin way!!!

One of the best posts I have seen in a long time.
All of your words ring true.
I have always worked for myself...sometimes more than 100 hours in a week. But, when you like what you do...don't really mind the time.
Some aspects I detest, but, overall...wouldn't have it any other way...to be self-made.

Naw, I never really like work. I just think we have to work too long. I have had some type of job since I was 10 yrs old, paper route then, hated it, had to get up at the crack of dawn on sundays and had to deliver the papers and run to football practice right after. What I did like was having a few bucks, I was able to buy a motorcycle with my own money at 12( YZ80). So to this day I like the things that my job allows me to do, the things I find fun, working out, skiing, fishing, gambling etc... So I have had a Job since 10, I am 42 now and only have 25 more years of work before I can retire, just seem too damn long to me :'(
