I'm a recruiter, which means I help people find work. Some of the people I help are absolutely delightful, and some are absolutely the dregs of society, arrogant, haughty and all-around icky.
However, I consider myself really lucky. I get to work for myself and I get to work whenever I want (which, truthfully, tends to be a lot.... my husband likes to complain about how much I work). But, when you're self-employed, you "eat what you kill" as they say. So, I work a lot.
But, the coolest part about my job is not the fact that I get to work at home (which is pretty cool), or that I get to work barefoot, in shorts and a tshirt (also quite cool), or that I get to make my own hours (cooler still) but the Most Cool part happens when, like earlier today, I help someone find a really GREAT job and they tell me how much they appreciate all I have done for them, and I realize I have made a very real, and a very positive impact on their life.
I just LOVE that.
I prayed for a LONG time (back when I was a cubicle-dwelling corporate DRONE....) that God would lead me to a job where I could help people, and help make a difference, for the better, in people's lives. And He has led me to a place where I can do that.
AND I get paid.
How cool is that?!

you are COOL!
What a great job you have...I am jealous.
I am going to my boss(s) and demanding a raise, or else I am looking for other forms of employment. I wonder what they will tell me??? (Jeff, L and L)
If they are SMART, they will hug and kiss you and tell you what a wonderful Domestic Diva you are and how they couldn't do it without you (which they COULDN'T)! I think Jeff needs to up the ante and give you 1 hour full body massages every day, and pedicures every week. ;-)
