Ok,

I work maintenance at a Christian retreat center.

Best part is Im always doing something different, and my boss like to ride so any one with a motorcycle seems to get extra hour long breaks from time to time :D

I dont know about a worst part, but I do have to spend a whole lot of time not riding.

Thanx for the great replies, everyone! Let's keep it going:

1. What do you do as your primary occupation?
2. What is the best part of your work?
3. What is the worst part of your work?

1) I temp - you name it, I do it. Especially in an office.

2) Being able to walk out of a contract into another contract if you dont like whats going on

3) Temps tend to get the worst tasks, the worst pay, inferior training and the blame when anything goes wrong.

1) Seargent in the Air force. My main job is Information Protection and Network Security.

2) I like catching kiddy popcorn surfers and put them behind bars - come to think of it that rule should apply to all popcorn surfers. Another great thing is the 9 hours per week I am allowed to go to the gym on company time.

3) Paperwork after catching someone.:frusty: Darn fair trials - I caught them, therefore they are guilty and need to go away (just kidding). I do hate the paperwork though. :bash:
