Oh lol, I didn't even mention what my career is gonna be when I re-launch it. I blamed that I was up for too damn long.

I plan to be working with wild orca whales/killer whales. I've been into them since I was about 4 or 5 years old. Yes, I don't like Seaworld at all, but I'm not one of those stupid annoying ERMAHGERD KILL SEAWORLD type of people. I do believe that those orcas need to be retired to a seapin, where they net off a cove and send them there. That way they have the feel of the ocean, currents, seaweed, live moving fish, etc. I mostly plan to swim with and document them in the wild, learn more about them and save them when stranded.

The amount of chemicals that get pumped into the harbors are a major danger to them and over marine life as well. The orca whales in New Zealand for example, feed on the rays that can be found near the harbors, and rays being bottom feeders they are filled with chems. Those chems pass to the orca and if a female is pregnant, it passes to the calf. The pods there are really small and calves get washed on shore dead because of the pollutants found in them, mostly flame retardants.

I think they're beautiful creatures and they're highly intelligent, almost like our counter part of the sea. They're very family oriented, staying with their mothers for life. They innovate and are very curious creatures that are capable of empathy. A combination of empathy and intelligence is one of the biggest things that set humans aside from other animals.

You'll tolerate your corporation until you find better prospects. Just do your job while watching out for your license, and think that your current job is a sinking ship, and you have to leave ASAP.

My husband works in a kitchen so I totally empathise. I hear all the stories!

I work in a tasting room selling wine to the public. I love it, all except for the public.

Yes, but this time I'm talking about it in exactly the appropriate time and place.

What life lessons did you guys learn from work?

That always interests me.

That is exactly what my coworker told me today.  She's really the only one keeping me sane.  She strongly encouraged me to have an exit plan as soon as I get my full license.  Also I think she's gonna bail on me pretty soon.  She's going on maternity leave in 11 weeks.  I think there's a possibility she might line something else up during that time.
