    Mentally: I'd go with a 9. My work stimulates my mind, and I love soaking up as much knowledge as possible.

    Financially: I'm going with an 8. I've just over tripled my monthly income since November of last year. But until I'm in my own home, things could be better.

    Emotionally: 10. I think I was always strong emotionally, but I don't see how honestly I can feel any better with things.

    Sexually: 9. Just because I had to sit out a few weeks while I was healing some piercings...

    Friendships: 9. I meet new people, and either bring them in close or push them away. The one's who come in close are the best, though.

    Family relationships: 2. I obviously haven't talked to my mother in almost a year. I talk to my father maybe once a month, but its never father / son stuff, its always dumb and awkward and short. I've got good extended family, but I don't talk to any of them that much. But it doesn't hurt so bad, because everything else is pretty awesome.

    Work/Occupation/Education: 10. I work 3 jobs that I love. (Ok, 2 I love, 1 that pays well) The first is doing research for a university. the pay and hours and benefits are awesome. Hands down. Piercing is a passion and something I realllly enjoy doing. And working security at the bar is fun. It has challenges, but its really just a good feeling to be there.

    Richie - let me in closer!! So what is the research you do for a university. That sounds totally like the job I would want. I've always wanted to be in research but never known how.

    But Crumpet, i don't want to go blind

    or get hairy hands

    Sad emo the blindness is a fallacy - my eyesight is still going strong after 20 years.

    And the hairy hands - well there is always nair or Bic!

    Crumpet, I work with turfgrass (think golf course grass) weeds. There's a whole sub-department for it here at NCSU. I get a government truck (06 Tahoe, anyone?) and free benefits.

    Its easy, really repetitive, and honestly, for the most part, boring. AND it pays well. Can't beat that.

    I do the research and get the data, then the Doctor's write the papers and publish them. I even get a little metion in the acknoweldgments section!

    Allow me to be the first to offer ANY of my services to you in order to alleviate you of your said loneliness and/or other departments. You are definetly worth leaving the colonies and flying across the pad to visit!!

    Crumpet, you asked why I liked my job, and what did I do. I have worked for The Salvation Army for over 13 years. 9 of them running a Domestic Violence shelter. My education is in counseling. Then for 3 years I ran their Emergency Financial Assistance Programs and Disaster Services. Now I am the Divisional Director of Disaster Services for all of New York State except NYC. I took the job mainly due to the fact it is completely different then anything that I have ever done, and after working with survivors of 9-11, the hurricanes etc wanted to reach out in this capacity. Also, if you looks at the faces you see representing FEMA etc very few are women. That also was a large factor in my decision to take this job. I wanted to make sure there was a path for young woman if they were interested in mostly a male dominated field. If you are interested google my name and you will read alittle about me. Believe it or not it lists me as an ex-JW.
