You should try your hand at being an Office Assistant. If you are good at typing on the computer and can handle large volumes of correspondence, its the job for you. The pay is good, and you dont have to worry much about people hassling you. There may be a problem if you got a hyper-active boss, but given the situation and your ability to cope, you can adjust well to it. Its a pretty decent job, and it pays well without too many headaches.

My two cents in.

I'll throw in a vote for forklift operator. It's not hard, you're sitting most of the day & in most places, you wear what you want and you can listen to your tunes (MP3 player) while you drive. The only annoying things are the overly-friendly hick-ish truckers, but if you have headphones on they usually don't try to make too much conversation.

If you can still find a job doing it, be a projectionist. I think they're close to extinct as a job to themselves anymore. I loved it when I did it. I dealt with no one but 16 roaring projectors, sat in a pitch black booth & listened to metal all day. If you have a few projectors, (and most theaters that have projectionists anymore do) then it will keep you running constantly yo keep up with the start times. A little exercise never hurt anyone, though.

That's all I can come up with just now.

I can tell you for certain that you still have to deal with the animals' owners. I took a course a couple of years ago to be a vet assistant and one of the things they trained you on was how to deal with owners. Vet assistants are also out in front when people check in for their appointments and answer the phone.

How about a dog walker?

I have the same problem being nice to assholes...the best thing I ever did was start bartending in a REAL bar, not some stuck up country club. People give you respect because you're giving them what they want and they know if they piss you off you can 86 them permanently...if you're at all like me, the whole deal about being able to tell people to fuck off whenever you want is lots of fun

And if that doesn't work for you, try beating the crap out of rich men for three hundred to four hundred dollars an hour...no sex involved, and it's terribly entertaining...:D

Vagrant. You don't have to pay any bills, worry about if you are late for work and you can sleep anywhere and get up whyen you want. Also you don't have top be nice to anyone, ask for money and if you don't get any tell em to fuck off. If you run out of money there is always Bumfights or prostitution, but the later means you need to find somewhere to wash unless you get really skanky clients.

I like Cheeba's idea too. I was going to suggest construction worker depending on where you live, and if you can stand really hot weather or not.

I think you might be good with the public, but I really don't think you'd like it or could tolerate it enough to do a public job. You seem to have a low threshold for bullshit, and working with the public is mainly working with bullshit.

A labor job would be cool for you because you're ballsy as hell, and you wouldn't have to put up with a bunch of pansies that couldn't take your sense of humor, your style, and your attitude.

If you want, I could give you a tarot reading. *big sincere smile*
