Jobs I'll Never Have......And Why:
Archive through December 29, 2002
Whoami | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:16 pm     I had this idea for a thread on Christmas Eve, while I was desperately trying to wrap presents. Obviously, the first job I'll never have is as a professional gift wrapper in the malls. I just suck at it! I use tons of tape, just to get those stray edges of paper to lay down. The other job I'll never have is as a Firefighter. Aside from the obvious that I could never be physically fit enough to do the job....it takes forever for me to wake up. Two alarm clocks often takes an hour to wake me up. And once I'm mobile, I'm still only semi-concious. Can't you just see me at the firehouse on night shift? The alarm goes off, and by the time I stagger on down to the truck, the rest of the crew is gone. I'd probably then stagger around the empty firehouse wondering where everyone went! Anyone else? |
Whit4you | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:19 pm     I'd never have a job as a nurse for one... |
Not1worry | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:21 pm     I'll never have a job as a daycare provider. I have no idea how those people do it. I'll never have a job as a miner. Too dark, too underground, too cramped. |
Pamy | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:23 pm     Never a daycare/teacher provider, I agree I have no idea how they do it! and they are sooo underpaid! When I pick my kid up from school I can't get out of there fast enough!! |
Kady | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:28 pm     I'll never have a job that would involve me being outside more than 5 minutes at a time. I'll never have a job as a decorator all though I totally love watching decorating shows. <cool idea for a thread,Whoami, I'll be back whenever I think of some more> |
Hippyt | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:57 pm     I don't think I could be a cashier,like at a busy check-out,grocery,or Wal-Mart. Just standing and scanning,seems so mind-numbingly boring. |
Neko | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:06 pm     I don't think I'll ever be a Hollywood actress. Or should I say actor and be politically correct?? Anyways, from what I hear, the boys who did Lord of the Rings, had to go through some TOUGH stuff for that. I don't think I could live with the type of stress they have. |
Wargod | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:18 pm     Singer....can't sing and don't, LOL. |
Whoami | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:34 pm     Yup, singer is definetely out for me too. Just ask my dogs! The looks I get when I do try to sing. If they could use the phone, they'd be calling the ASPCA. |
Bigd | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:37 pm     I could NEVER be a court reporter. #1 I can't type that fast, and I would probably be reacting to what I am hearing anyway. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:47 pm     Septic tank cleaner. Need I say more? |
Sabbatia | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 07:07 pm     Whoami, one of my first jobs while in college was as a professional gift wrapper at the mall. It sucked. I had bad dreams about it. I was thinking the other day as I was washing some gross stuff out of my sink, I could never work for the waste water dept. I saw how they do that on TV, and it's just WAY too nasty for me. I've never been around kids that I couldn't leave, so like most of ya'll, I could never be a daycare worker....and no, I can't sing or dance. Like Kady, if it involves the great outdoors, I'm out! PLUS, I'm not a people person so that eliminates a bunch of jobs. I worked as a teller for four yrs, that was enough. I think being an accountant in an office with my numbers is just about right for me. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 07:12 pm     i will never have a job in finance. i can't balance my checkbook to save my life. |
Kaili | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 09:48 pm     Can't balance a checkbook...I don't even try! I used to just round up the numbers so it looked like I had less money than I do, but now I pretty much go mentally. I have a general idea of how much I have and how much I am able to spend. Bad system but it works for me. I wouldn't be a nurse- too many stories from my mom and aunt. I wouldn't be in a factory where I would have to breath exhaust or other fumes, and I know I could never work as a cashier again. I wouldn't want to be a prison guard either. |
Mygetaway | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 12:43 am     I couldn't work at the Humane Society or I'd have a house full of animals... I couldn't work at a flower shop, or I'd have to buy out the Kleenex company, and the Zyrtec factory. |
Curiouscat | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 01:13 am     I could never have a job cleaning. I hate housework. |
Car54 | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 03:54 am     Can't do work that requires long term discipline or patience ... routine, order, etc. I tend to do best where I am pulling something together, build it, organize it, get it working, and then hire some disciplined person to take it over...then I move on to the next project. |
Twinkie | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 07:04 am     I couldn't work anywhere that animals needing homes are. I would also have a house full of animals. |
Jbean | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 10:22 am     i couldn't be a wal-mart checker either, but not because of boringness (making up my own words now), but because they have to put up with so much crap from people, and hear screaming kids all day long. i could go on and on.... also a waitress...no way, i don't have that kind of patience. |
Heyltslori | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 10:27 am     Supermodel.... because my thighs touch |
Spygirl | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 10:47 am     LOL Lori!!! I could never be a doctor because I can barely stand my own bodily fluids. |
Wargod | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 12:41 pm     Ditto Spy. Blood belongs inside the body and if its coming out something is seriously wrong and someone needs to fix it.....not me! |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 01:56 pm     The Civil Liberties Union I think they have destroyed this country (well, at least New York) |
Yankee_In_Ca | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 04:30 pm     I could NEVER work as a telemarketer. I just don't have it in me. I'd be so worried about bothering people... |
Wapland | Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 10:33 pm     Victoria Secret Model....I am fat and have small boobs.........Darn and I so wanted to walk half naked down a runway in stilettoes |
