Professional rowing coach at a yacht club. Go figure.
In previous lives I have been a graphic artist (design, pre-press) and also a high school teacher (history, art, design-tech, silversmithing, woodwork).
Was once a garbage man for a very short time, but that is a much longer story for another time...

Drive a forklift and commute 40 mi rt per day by bicycle. Out of 4500 people employed at the factory I'm the ONLY full-time cycle commuter. It's a UAW facility, so you can imagine I'm not real popular w/my auto-centric, union brothers and sisters...especially during lunch when I expressed my opinion(I was pressed...you know how it is when you're a little different...) that it's inexcusable for anyone living within 10 miles of the plant and able-bodied to NOT bike. I sit by myself, alot. Nobody effs w/my bike, though. I used to get ribbed alot, then one day I mentioned something about body fat content, resting pulse rate and blood pressure w/o smiling(because I'd had enough, y'know?)and that pretty much ended the discussion. Once in a while I get someone taking me aside and expressing respect for what I do and I cherish those moments and offer to help get them started. No takers, so far. Some day...
It's been hard this winter as I've only managed a 50% 'ride' rate'. I've had some health issues, but I'm starting up again tomorrow. It's been good reading the posts and threads on BF as it keeps the fires stoked. Thanks guys...and gals.

Cheque pickup and client registration at the Downtown Toronto Welfare office. We get most of the city's homeless and mentally ill clients, or clients with substance abuse problems so it's pretty much always exciting.

Depends where you are. I have been in that type of place, not food, but people, and quit because of it.
I have worked in places more like hells kitchen mostly. The classical chefs are crazy about the food. But IMO thats how it should be, the food comes first, being nice is a far second. When studying in dublin got hit in the head with a pan for messing up a dish. yeah it hurt, but learned more than I did at school in a few months was studying there
Lots of thrown plates too...
