One-Syllable Challenge: What Do You Do For A Living?

I sell folks booze. They give me cash and I get them drunk. Yes, I went to school for this. I should have gone to med school, mom says.

Lsura cheats.

I type all day or use a mouse. I fix things for “friends” with my brain and my mouse and my keys, not the car kind. I surf a whole lot. I meet with “friends” way too much. I work with 'Soft but not the one you first think of.

I bring you food and drink that you have told me. I am good at my job and nice to you. I smile at you when you are a shit and do not spit in your food, though I would like to. I will just touch it then! NOT! Was a joke, do you think? :wink:

I think we need a sign that is of a guy with his hair blown back. One that means whoosh!

(No ill will meant) :slight_smile:

I, too, sell folks booze. And beer. At times, I must tell the drunk that he may not have booze or beer, due to the fact that he is drunk. Or young.

I, too, tell the help when to come to work. And deal with the man who owns the place of booze and beer (not too much fun). I make sure we have booze and beer to sell, and count both booze and beer each week (this part of my job is a pain in my butt), and the cash each night.

I see drunk peop. . .uh. . . .folks.

Missed one! You are not safe now. :smiley:

I am a drone. I sit in front of a screen. I type stuff that guys need to know. They want to know if Shell or the like have a lot of dosh to give to those who own shares. The guys who need to know the stuff trade lots of stocks. This to me makes my job sound less dull than it is. The guys who trade stocks get rich in a way that does not seem dull. We do the work and it is dull. It pays my bills, though and I can go in if I have been out late and not do a thing and they will not know. I wear what I want as well. Now I am sick of this as I sound like I am four years old.

brachyrhynchos and HeyHomie used “also” twice. For shame, for shame.

My turn.
I read books by Locke and Mill and more folks like them. Then I write stuff and take tests. One day I will be done with this. Then I will need to find a place that thinks this is good stuff to know. Some folks say that there are no such jobs. I think they are wrong.

Oh, and I drink lots of beer as well. This takes up very much of my time.

And eats a few cells of your brain. :slight_smile:

So close.

Damn. You’d think that I would have learned from past tries. I guess my now 10 days with no drink has not helped my brain work good at all. So much for that plan. Off to the pub to make up for lost time. :smiley:

I talk to those who like to watch the tube but not pay for it. I go to their house and tell them that they have to pay, or I will cut their tube off (Boy, does that sound bad!). I have nine guys who work for me on this, and I keep things in line back in the place from which we work. Oh, and two great gals work with us, too. They take all the calls and file and keep our work straight and stuff like that. The pay’s not so good, but it’s more fun than it sounds.

I help big oil folk to get cash back if a rig, or ship or oil well, is on fire - like if bad stuff goes on like that. Oil folk pay us for that but want to pay less.

But we take the risk so what we say goes.

I run the show- one Brit out here. The firm - it is like, oh, I do not know? A herd of cats?

The place is a bit shit but I get paid well. I miss my home and mates.

This is fun! Most fun all day… :slight_smile:

I go to school. I get a ride in to school in the A. M. and take the bus in the P.M. The guy who steers the bus knows my face, but not my name. They say I should leave school soon, but the real world is big and wide and I don’t want to go there.

The old ones at my school give me work to do at home. Lots of it. Large piles of this work chase me all the way to the bar. Beer waits for me there.

The sad thing is that I pay school, school does not pay me. I should find one more job that pays me. Then I could buy more beer.

I’m not clear on what you mean. Do you mean, “If folks have a bill at our firm, and they don’t pay the bill, I cut them off.” Or do you mean, “If folks cheat our firm out of our goods (like, say, they run a wire so they get your firm’s goods for free), I tell them to pay up or go blank (else I’ll call the law).”

Please make this more plain.

Thank you.

'Tis one word, dude (or wench).

*Teach - I mold the minds of the future. I teach at a small liberal arts college. I love my work. I love the students, the faculty (for the most part) the campus etc…etc…

I think you not know what we do. All words must be one sound, not just job name. Will you try once more?
