I teach

And supposedly we could be getting like a 20 percent raise lmao. I honestly don't feel like I deserve it. I'm sitting here, hanging out in the summer, not doing shit really, and I could be getting paid like $70,000 in my fourth year of teaching lmao.

I do have my masters and have the max amount of credit hours, but still.

This feeling of malaise probably just stems from the fact that I can't allow myself to be happy.

Nobody could guess what I do when I did a 20 questions a while back.

But I've been doing the same thing for 18+ yrs and am about to sign a 5 yr contract with the best health benefits (no copay) and 2% raises every yr.

permanent part time liquor clerk at a gov't owned liquor store.

really it just means i get 32 hrs a week instead of 40.

Just got hired being a banquet cook this month, it's decent tho I dun never cooked before(aside from home).

I'm a graphic designer at a marketing agency. Like other designers I know, the hours are crazy long and have killed my gaming career. But there's nothing else I'd rather do job-wise.

Get freaky.

@Zeus

Come now, what does the all-mighty "Zeus" do at his "white-collar" job? Does he do clerical office work or does he order around subordinates?

Don't be shy. Everyone else said what they do.

Right now I'm on a communications team for a capital campaign that is attempting to raise $37M for a charity (for a new building, specifically). I hope to go back to school in the near future though, as I'd rather write technical manuals than create content. It's just much more straightforward.

Because literally none of that describes me. Not even the free time. And that general ethos epitomizes the extreme left -- who use absurd retaliatory measures to drive their agenda and punish anybody who doesn't march in line -- whereas I'm a centrist who finds those kinds of acts despicable. But nice lazy trolling.

You sure as hell got defensive over being called a hypocrite.

In all seriousness, everyone knows you're a troll who acts like he's the shit and talks-down to others like you're some all-knowledgeable and cocky guy. Hell, you keep getting into a fight with Mead because you're under the delusion that he's anti-Zeus and anyone who's against you is in cohorts with him.

The sooner you realize you're just some old guy on PotD that nobody really cares about, the sooner you can come to grips with it and either A) mellow the fuck out or B) make like a tree and leave, the better we'll all be.

If you think it hypocritical, you have no understanding of the word nor comprehension of the term. And people tend to be annoyed by outrageous libel -- something you frequently level but rarely have charged against yourself.

No, Mead was repeatedly trying to provoke fights with me while engaging in obnoxious behavior. And, if not for your bizarre double-standards --- largely based off your ridiculous white knighting attempts -- you'd understand that. Case-in-point? I PM'd Jen once in response after she asked me not to PM her and you accused me of harassment. Mead mentioned me on an almost-daily basis after being repeatedly asked not to do so and, not only did you not consider it harassment, but you clearly sided with him.

Otherwise it's "cahoots" (not "cohorts") and there were clearly people bandwagoning at his behest or copying his outrageous claims. More importantly, for a guy who was *so adamant* about people not adding fuel to the fire while white knighting for Jen yet again, you're driving a tanker fuel of petrol.

He says overlooking that several posters specifically mentioned in the past that they'd love to see me lose my job (Leo, among others) and still others mentioned either wanting to see me dead (including... well, *you*) or wanting to kill me themselves, you'd understand some reluctance about putting out too many details.

And if you truly didn't care, why would you put so much effort into following up for personal details? And there have been what, three separate topics asking for photos now? (Mead, I think Argo, and... I can't remember the one before that.) Multiple topics asking about other details. At least one topic where a poster was trying to track down details and then posted what he found. For somebody "nobody really cares about," there seems to be a whole lot of caring.

The sooner you A) Get a clue or B) Stop trolling, the better off we'll all be.

Given all the information I give on a daily basis, I know for a fact someone would be able to dox me.

I don't really have a fan club, though. If I were to save all Zeus's posts, and I knew his apparently specific job, and I reaaally wanted to find out, I probably wouldn't be too far off finding out who he is.

The fan club is fucking aggressive tbh.

Why post at all?

Because I wanted to post the King of the Hill clip and knew that, as soon as I did, there would be follow-up questions about what I do so I gave *something* rather than nothing. (Granted, in past topics like these I didn't even *need* to post to have somebody ask questions about me.) tbh, I've never been able to resist posting obvious cultural references >_>

Nothing now. I take care of our 85 year old great-great grandmother who has dementia and lives with us and I actually had to quit working to care for my daughter when she became disabled from an AVM rupture in her brain 2 years ago.

Before that I taught art to all grades K-12 and also had taught some night classes at our local university, was an Environmental and Spacial Technologies facilitator. I have all but stopped painting and illustrating since all this happened too.
