Newspaper reporter ranked worst job in the U.S.

[Caliga]

Now I've got that song in my head.

I wish I had that song in my head.  Instead, I have "Sunshine of Your Love" stuck in my head.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, but whenever it pops into my head it's because Cal is angry about something at work and has a compulsion to choke some bitches out.

The flipside of no stress is boredom and repetition.

Definitely doesn't apply to the #1 ranked profession.

Accountant?

No, put your reading glasses on.

On the other hand, "Wal-Mart Greeter" isn't the only other option. For the same kind of salary you could be doing landscaping work. I don't know about you but I do a lot of my best thinking when I'm out in the fresh air, mowing the lawn, pruning trees, shoveling barkdust, tilling garden beds, etc.

I, on the other hand, drive myself batshit fucking nuts if I have too much time to think on a job.  Worse thing ever for me was being a security guard with nothing to do.  Boring, and still trapped in my head.

And as long as the work is of high quality and performed in a reasonable timeframe the customer - a real customer, who is exchanging money with you for a specified service, not someone who has come to shop at the store at which you work but may see no value in your presence there - is happy.

I'm going to start writing gay bondage porn fiction;  of all the non-scientific free-lance writing work I've explored, it seems to pays the best by word.
Bulbous.  Engorged.  Chaps. 
Yeah, piece of cake.

Dude, taking someone out for crab in Bawlmer is a fucking compliment.  The crab there is the shiznit.

Yep.  May depend on the place, though.

It was a fine local institution. 

It was one of the few places still in existence.

Leave out bulbous which sounds like a tumor and I'll buy.

All my characters will be circumcised.  That's just the way it's gotta be, fellas.

[garbon]

Totally fine. I do not need to picture any more penises with their own carrying cases.

I cant think of a position that has no stress. 

A lot of it happens to be self-induced. 

Yeah, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that any job I hold is going to be the highest-stress job in America.

Funny, but normal.

My small hometown Episcopal priest's salary is probably approaching $150,000 by now. And then the perks of living freely in a large historical house on top of the town's center, pension, "discretionary fund", etc.

The question is - are Episcopal Priests allowed to have sex lives? 

The great salary, free house deal isn't so attractive if you gotta be celebate.

only Catholics priests have that celibacy rule.

Episcopal priests can also be women (and be gay), and both male and female priests freely marry and have children as well as get divorced. Further, they can later "convert" into the Catholic priesthood and still keep their marriage and family privileges.

Woah, sweet deal. Big salary, free house *and* sex life? What's the catch?

Oh yeah, gotta talk some about Jesus from time to time, right? I can do that.
