What do you do?

Post by Nessa »

You know, I use to really hate being asked this question cos I always felt alot of people asked for the wrong reasons. Even judged you for what you say back depending on your answer. Like your worth was somehow attached to your job. Not everyone is like that but there are some.

But here I am asking it, purely cos Im interested and sure others are too.

At the moment I have casual work from home, ringing up farmers interviewing them for an agri-research specialist company. For the most part I really enjoy it, just stressful trying to meet the deadline :econfused:

How about you?

I don't have a steady job here. I work on call as a jailer, a security guard, a pilot and a sewage truck driver.

Most of all, I like locking people up and depriving them of their freedom I enjoy all the work God sends my way.

:lol: I appreciate that since I also worked inside a jail and in the field of criminal justice - well said! :lol:

Retired now, spot work, and ministry stuff is what I currently do.

While I worked in the Jail, the shake down searching to contraband in a ornery inmates cell was rather fulfilling sorrowful... y(:|

Most inmates I've met are nice people. Unfortunately, it's the despicable inmates that make the lasting impressions. One thing most inmates have in common is a bad childhood /early family situation. Also, a lot are into pornography.

I have my own second hand bookshop
How perfect is that? :D

I love it (maybe I should say like a lot, love maybe the wrong word.... am reading Four Loves)
I relate to the world of words, thats where I am happy, how I think. I have always read, anything, even as a kid. If it was a word, I read it. As a kid I would even read the back of cereal boxes, shampoo bottles, advertising leaflets. If it had words on it, I read it.

I am also a mum, which is the best thing ever to happen to me (apart from finding Christ) she makes me so proud, teaches me so much and is just such a beautiful, clever, loving little girl. Its an honour to say she is my daughter.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

I've been figuring for the last 30 years!

Either that, or I really need to grow up! :oops:

Nobody really cares what we do. Nor does what we do for a living really matter. Ten years after your death, what you did for a living won't matter. Fifty years after your death, nobody will even remember you. If - by chance - somebody does remember you 50 years after your death, they should soon die. Then your memory will be gone. Forever.

Have a nice day!

:D

Not true.

Remembering, and honouring, those who went before is part of who we are.

I care very much who Christ was, what He did and I know no one in living memory who knew Him. Yet He changed the world.

So don't tell me my memory will be gone. Someone, somewhere, will remember.

God will.

A passing thought,
A wistful sigh.
A distant memory
of what once was.
Something tangible,
Made magical.
Spiritual.

Yes, you're right. Ancestry.com will certainly keep a «memory» of you in their database...

Of course it does. And let me give you a little piece of advice...stay in school as long as you can. The real world ain't no picnic!
