2. Have you ever complained about your job?

I have worked as a bookkeeper for years. For the last three I have worked part time from home doing the bookkeeping and payroll for a smallish maid service franchise and most of the time I am very, very happy with the setup I have. This is one of the best bookkeeping positions I have ever had. I did have some great gigs when I was doing contract work, usually for six months at a time. I have also worked some real crap positions for complete shitheads.

I am also semi-retired and draw Social Security.

Over the many years I have worked as a waitress, bartender (loved that job), asst manager of a night club, been a soldier, studied to be a medical assistant, grocery store cashier...all sorts of things. This job and some of my bartending gigs were the best.

I’m essentially retired (lots of lucky breaks along the road). I’ve been a musician, a luthier, and currently a blacksmith. I once held an appointed political position for a little under six weeks. Other than that and a teaching gig that lasted about a year, I’ve always been self-employed.

I'm a software engineer - I was the senior engineer when the startup I worked for for 19 years was bought by a public company. I'm staying on as a staff engineer for as long as they will keep paying me. Not interested in advancing.

Worked in galleries and museums until I moved to Japan at age 28. 

Got my PhD and taught at university for a while, but didn't like it. No doubt I complained about it a time or two.

Since then for many years I've led small reading groups for adults. We've read Dante, the Bible, Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy, Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, and others. One group very kindly chose to do a close reading of the book I wrote. Currently one group is reading Lolita. In one group we're talking about art history without a text -- I just bring in pictures. In another group we're talking about the philosophy of art and how it relates to epistemology, so I bring in various short texts, in either English or Japanese. 

The goddamn G7 is meeting in my city so the community centers I use for free classrooms are closed for three months. We're making do with coffee shops.

I've been retired since '93, before which I did office work -- secretarial, spreadsheets, word processing, database entry.

I started work in a pharmaceutical lab, then moved to a company making printed circuit boards, after that I was employed as a service engineer installing and repairing printers and high volume photocopiers, later moving to the IT side of the business installing software on the customers servers for print control and document management. I have been retired for about 2 years now and don't have time to work!

I'm chair over 4 programs (including Religion *cough*) and am a professor of sociology at a small state college. I've worked everything from cleaning houses to market research manager before that.

1. Last was an 'Operation/Medical/Fraud Auditor' for a health insurance company.
2. If you don't have complaints you may not be human.
