So below is a video of what part of my job entails.  Destroying things for a living has its perks.  Nevermind that handsome devil walking into frame at the :23 second mark.

Boom!

Much like pre-marital sex, I'm sure it gets old after 25 years or so.

Looks a lot more fun than what I do for a living.

I tell people I'm a professional driver. But really I'm just a delivery boy.

:cheers: Much cooler than my work.

People ask me what I do for a living. I wear so many hats at my job I am not sure myself. Right now, I am some sort of Risk Data Analyst, Program Administrator, Graphic Designer and Health and Safety Compliance Manager. A little over a year ago I was a tax specialist, payroll project manager, benefit administrator, governmental compliance specialist and analytic tool developer. I probably couldn't land a new job right now because I'd have no clue WTF to put on my resume.

We have similar jobs.  I describe mine as "drink from the firehose."

Buhaha! That's about right, especially when considering how I am rewarded for the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I do that nobody else seems to understand.

People around my place of business tend to steal my ideas and pass them off as their own.

I don't do anything  like that.  I help people file paperwork.
