I\'m an Activities Director for an assisted living community for the elderly.  Bascally, I am paid to play bingo all day.  Yet seriously, its a very enriching experience. I love my work.  I like to think a make difference everyday.

I was the Activities Director @ Point Loma Convalescent for 8 months back in \'94.
 I had such a blast coming up w/ things to do. Even for the bedridden. I brought in a Sitar player one day and talk about soothing patients quick! I hope you have as much fun as I did.

Not taken negatively at all.

Cat-bird seat? That phrase must\'ve been before my time.... :biggrin:
you\'ll get to it in your highschool english classes.

Catbird seat (as it is usually written) usually appears in the fuller form in the catbird seat, meaning to be in an advantageous or prominent position, one of ease and favour. Its first appearance in print was in a famous short story of that title by James Thurber, published in the New Yorker on 14 November 1942:
In the halls, in the elevator, even in his own office, into which she romped now and then like a circus horse, she was constantly shouting these silly questions at him. ?Are you lifting the oxcart out of the ditch? Are you tearing up the pea patch? Are you hollering down the rain barrel? Are you scraping around the bottom of the pickle barrel? Are you sitting in the catbird seat?? It was Joey Hart, one of Mr. Martin?s two assistants, who had explained what the gibberish meant. ?She must be a Dodger fan,? he had said. ?Red Barber announces the Dodger games over the radio and he uses those expressions?picked ?em up down South.? Joey had gone on to explain one or two. ?Tearing up the pea patch? meant going on a rampage; ?sitting in the catbird seat? means sitting pretty, like a batter with three balls and no strikes on him.

I worked at a video store until it closed down.  It really was kind of like this:

Not the actual plot related stuff, but certainly all of minutia.

These days I am internship hunting (still waiting to hear back from ESPN) and working summers as a camp counselor, finally getting a raise in my seventh summer to a whopping $9/hr.

When I\'m at home, I\'m a teller at a bank and do some babysitting/house sitting.

When I\'m at school, I\'m a shift captain/supervisor in one of the dorm cafeterias, I clean glassware and make stock solutions for my biology prof, and I play music at coffeehouses and bars every Tues/Fri/Sat night.

I am a working foreman for Hannaford Brothers up here in maine. It is a supermarket company for anyone who is not sure. I manage the shipping and receiving of the distribution center, many many things to do must be able to multitask, but in short I have about 100 people I am in charge of and must have a good flow. Everyday is a challenge, very busy in the summer time.

Actionscripting with Flash... I sit at a computer all day with my head in between my arms sleeping and try to make it look like I\'m in deep thought. So far it\'s been working. When I do manage to complete a project it\'s usually for an outside company that\'s paying me as a freelancer. I figure this way I\'m always making double time.

I work HERE in the "Electronic Prepress" department as a \'Graphic Artist\'. Our company\'s site I do not think has been updated in 5 years, but its the basic info. Basically I work on files for packaging, ranging from vegetable packaging to potato chips to shopping bags. Some of the companies I do work for include Ahold (Stop & Shop, Giant, Tops, Southern Home; all supermarkets), Publix (for those in Florida), Food Lion (now bloom, wherever those are located), Uncle Rays Potato Chips, and various cookie and candy companies (Lindt\'s is the only one I\'ve heard/seen). I also do the packaging for all of the Schick ST series razors, among other companies\' products. I am also a career college student.

Not sure if you deal with the frozen veggies, but according to one of my bosses, Hannaford is redesigning all their packaging, meaning I\'m gonna end up with all 70+ veggie items. Does your deparment work with Merco Packaging?
