my job is retarded repetitive and obnoxious but i'm an independent contractor so i get to work from home and pretty much set my own goals and hours. the pay is decent. i've never met my boss or anyone that i "work with" and besides talking to clients on the phone, my human contact is generally limited to my family and friends. that being said, i kinda hate it and have been considering a change.
i also am the owner/operator of a dessert catering business as well. writing your own paycheck is great and all but when shit hits the fan, you're the only one that is to blame.
if you're looking for a change of pace, i'd suggest cable installer or mailman. my buddy just got hired as a mailman. he said the hours are great and it's easy. then again, if you live in fucking minnesota or some state where it's cold 9 months of the year, it probably sucks.
i've also been constipated the last three days. not fun.
