I'm ready to climb out of the saddle.
I'm SO fucking ready to pay for the crimes of my predecessors... that I'm ready to give up my position, my pay, AND my timecard. I'm willing to give it ALL up.
Will someone call me when a woman wants the keys to my trash truck?

(58,836 posts)6. Is it private or municipal?
I would be tempted if it's municipal. I hate my desk job with a passion and it probably pays no more than whatever you're making based on local Cost of Living. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

I have a fantastic job with great pay and benefits, buts the shift work is getting a little harder as I get older.
