Awhile ago you had a thread on what Msties find funny. Along that same line, I’d like to know what Msties do for a living. Are we computer-hacking photophobiacs who live in our parents’ basement, or are we other societal cornerstones like firefighters, police officers, professors, or clergy? What do we DO?
Interesting! Okay, don’t give out more info than you are comfortable with. And you don’t need to say WHERE you do it or give specific company names or anything.

Bolem @221: My boyfriend has a cat that loves everybody, including me, until everyone else leaves the room. The thing will attack me for no reason and my boyfriend thinks that I’m doing something to provoke it. Apparently I’m filled with catnip.

Re:#221 and cats
When a cat is scared it doesn’t want anything near it and will attack anything that is. A traumatized cat who is friendly will sometimes get overstimulated ar startled or just set off by some purely internal trigger and get scared in an instant for no obvious reason. If the cat is on your lap being petted the motion of your arm will scare it further often causing the cat to lash out or run off terrrified. Don’t take it personally.
Some cats just get overstimulated easily. Any pleasurable sentation can become painfull if it becomes too intense. Think of being tickled excessively. Some cats who get overstimulated easily will lash out suddenly when being petted goes from being fun to unpleasant. This is something you can watch out for more easily.

I’m glad to see my fellow Arkie MSTies represented here!
Back to the topic, after my fair share of dead end customer service jobs, and selling everything from locks and safes to coffee, and being in the medical industry (the elderly + flu shot season = HELL), I’m now a professional misanthrope, and a screenwriter and film student.
I’m a third-year Journalism student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (and originally from Rutland, Vermont, of “Time Chasers” fame). I write for the paper, produce and content for websites, teach amatuer improv classes, and make sandwiches and stuff for dining services I want to make a living writing fiction, but I also have dreams of starting the first great web journalism model.
