What does everyone do for a living?

...Evo or whoever was looking forward to taking advantage of people in a shitty situation, stand by.

That's a shitty situation to be in man. Hope you can get another job soon instead of having to sell your obey.

im a housekeeping delivery boy. I basically deliver items to hotel guests such as towels, amenities, blankets, pillows, beds, fridges, etc. I also maintain and organize runner lockers and storage lockers. when its slow, I either fold towels or make rollaway beds.

I utilize your services all the time.  Does everybody tip you?  I do, but i never know how much is acceptable.
Do you work for one of the bigger chains?

oh very nice! not everyone tips. just depends on the crowd. chinese and indians never tip! when they do, its once in a blue moon. honestly, i cant say an amount that is acceptable. for me anything is better than nothing. i always try to tip when i go out to restaurants or stay at hotels. i usually tip anywhere from 3 to 5 bucks. i work for the mgm corporation

Hehe chains!  so good... who needs chains when you got hotel/casinos. Although, there is a four seasons at the end of the main strip guess that counts as a chain.

exactly! vegas has plenty of hotels!

Man, anxiety and paranoia are a bitch. Last year I finally decided to get help and went on some meds to help control mine, along with some other issues I was dealing with.
Good luck with all that.

I've been on meds for almost 20 years.  Sometimes they help, sometimes they don't.  I've been switched around to different ones for depression & anxiety.  I'm now getting tired of my back n' forth of them working.  I'd like to get off meds, partly due to not wanting to sacrifice my body, so I can be sort of sane.  They have to check various things once a year, I think the liver is the main one that these meds tend to attack & both my brother & I get regular blood tests to see how our organs are doing(though, he's managed to stay on Prozac all these years). 

My wife got off meds recently, & has been on them for 20+ years after something someone did to her that really messed her up.  She's doing ok, but, as expected, has withdrawl & detox symptoms.  She's been doing more aroma therapy with essential oils, seems to be really helping her, but, getting off meds is a loooooong road.  I hope someday I can do it, as even now with all my meds I still get hot flashes, my throat tightens up & hurts like hell, or sometimes it's my chest, heart palpitations, etc.  It makes earning a living & being the man of the house & being a responsible adult annoying, but I ain't giving up.  I just keep fighting, keep doing research, keep trying new things to try to keep me calm.

To everybody who is looking for a job and/or struggling in general: I know it is a battle; I wish you well. Seriously.

And now, a totally awkward transition to the light-hearted...

I am a dirty senior graphic designer.. Work for CTV television in Le Canada in both print and digital.
Been a designer since 1993... So you can see why I like making shit

Specifically on energy management systems or do you hold tarded service peoples' hands through simple diagnostics because they can't read a wiring schematic for a piece of equipment?

I am a Digital Artist doing 3D modeling and animation.  Been doing 3d for a living since 1997.  Right now I am currently working on real games for training and simulation for the US Army.  It's actually a pretty cool job and one I will enjoy way more than working on AAA titles for 12 year old's.  I like what my work is going towards.

I am at the purchasing/logistics department for an ophthalmic device company, I am also the connection between my S&R department and the main office in Netherlands when help is needed (request RMA, questions such as partnumbers, etc).

It's not a boring spot since everything is "urgent! ship now!".
