Haha that's one of my bad ones. "Funnest" will always be a word in my personal dictionary.

PS, "grammar".

I didn't even see that I put an "e", good catch.

You like the sports writing. i used to cover sports here in Dallas, I hated it. I mean there are a lot of worse jobs, but it got boring very quickly for me. Working late at Mavs and Rangers games gets old real fast.

Recruiter for a major overseas contractor. Six figure salary to talk on the phone an hour or two a day, and answer some emails. Mostly from home, too.

Thank goodness for a government who likes to throw away money on useless wars, then overspends to boot! :103631605

The best job I ever had was working for the city Parks and Rec. Dept. during my college years.

My job was to go around to the 5 swimming pools and get water samples and then deliver them to City Hall for analysis.

Being a young lad of 19 and looking at all the trim at the different pools was unreal.

My first real job at Baskin Robbins scooping ice cream when I was 15.

The best part was that one of our co-workers (who was about 17 at the time) had a very large chest. Baskin Robbins made us wear company polo shirts when we were working and they'd provide clean ones everyday in the backroom for everyone to choose from. So when we knew this girl was about to come in and start her shift, we'd go in the back and hide all the larger sized shirts forcing her to wear a small, tight one.

And all the free ice cream you could eat, take home, and give to friends and random girls when they came in was a nice bonus too.

I had a sick job for 3 years in high school - i worked at a retail golf store.

hardly anyone ever came in - and owner didn't care b/c he was rich and opened the shop for fun.

got to work alone - watch tv, play on the internet, discounted golf stuff

best part is they had a big store with little driving range and green - so buddies used to come in and hang out for hours and we'd bet money on weird putting contests all around the store

was a blast

i loved going to work

Worked at a top tier racetrack for 7 years. That was great. Now I work at a casino. Also great.

I've only been a cook during summer when I'm out of school. I'll never forget when one of the waiters told me about the pointless Sasha Vujacic 3 at the end of the Spurs-Lakers playoff game. Had the Lakeshow -7 pretty big. I almost forgot I had 20 steaks to cook.

Driving Range 14-18

Fresh Air, great tan in the summer, all the golf I wanted, great money.

Those were the days. Kids want to grow up so fast these days. Enjoy your youth before the bullshit starts when your older.

These days .. if I get out once a year Im lucky.

Does your daughter realize she was conceived on the floor by a vat of fry grease or did you make up something more romantic?
