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

We weren't in Baltimore. We were in the suburbs.

He takes you out for dinner and you bitch about it?

Oh, it almost certainly would be worse, yes.

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. 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.

Of course, who would I be if I didn't? :P

But yes, it was very nice of him to pay for it. Oh those heady days when he had an expense account. -_-

The flipside of no stress is boredom and repetition.
:yeahright: Definitely doesn't apply to the #1 ranked profession.

Yep.  May depend on the place, though.

It was a fine local institution.  :mad:

I cant think of a position that has no stress. 

A lot of it happens to be self-induced.
