    Okay, the pay isn't what you find in the private sector but I have the best health benifits I've every had and a good bit of job security.

    Retired now, but worked at a maximum security state prison here in PA. We had about 3200 inmates and about 600 of them were lifers. I was the first female Activities Manager there. A year before retiring, I transferred to a medium security prison and was the department head of their activities department. If you work in the state prison system you can retire at age 50 (like the state police) due to the high stress of the job. It was an interesting career, but I've been enjoying my retirement for the past year.

    I should have a new job working desktop support for a major hospital and all associated offices in 2 weeks. They have 1300 desktops and 50 servers according to the guys that interviewed me. Assuming the crack was out of my system by 1000 today.... heh

    :laugh: Yeah, I had to hold my morning piss for 2 hours, drive 30 miles, and piss in a cup by 1020 this morning. Fun stuff.

    :eek: Damn! You're not pregnant are you? :laugh: I don't think we got through 3 gallons a YEAR with 2 adults and 3 kids. Popsicles on the other hand, we order by the case.

    The guys I work with think I am. :D I've put on 70 pounds in the last year, but I attribute that to the medication I'm taking, which makes me VERY hungry. Yeah, 3 gallons of whatever's on sale that week. That's after dinner of course. I can also empty a package of oreo double stuffs and a family-sized bag of chips in two days. Sometimes one day if I'm "active".
