I do customer service/complaints for a major telephone wagering (Horse racing) corporation, which is controlled, allegedly, by the City of New York.
In Reality, it is a major criminal organization run by chimps with felony records.

haha! ain't that the truth! my sister got my parents to pay for an education degree RIGHT out of high school. I had turned down a couple of scholarships because I had the "adventure" itch and went into the Army. when she found out what I made in 3 months of contracting a couple of years ago (she sell real estate now) I thought she was going to pop a vein

I am a commercial photographer. Today I shot office furniture, deodorant cans and this afternoon I will shoot 3 beds. Glamorous or what?

Thursday I am off to shoot a mountain range in KwaZulu Natal. Tomorrow I shoot the offices of a corporate gift company. So it goes, up and down.

He doesn't own any of those things, how about pictures of his beat up old car, pool he coaches at, and one of the dogs themselves.

He is the sort of person where not only does the bread land butter side up but on the way to the floor a $5 bill will stick to it. Best example I've got is this...
As a newly hired white water rafting guide he had to have a kayak. Not having much in the way of funds he got a used kayak, held together with duct tape and bubble gum. Aside from some minor leaks it worked well for him. Towards the end of the season the company he works for is hosting a trip out of state, all the guides deliver their kayaks and packs to the loading point where the company loads everything into buses and onto kayak carriers. Somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia a kayak, that had not been tied down properly, falls off the rack, and breaks into more than several pieces.

Yes, of course, it was his kayak. As they were in the middle of nowhere, had no extra company kayaks with them, and since he needed one in order to work, they ended up buying him a brand new one at the next outfitters they passed.

......

He got a job as a ski instructor having never skied more than a few times in his life.

......

The only reason he got the job at Denali (he was something like number 250 on the list of all equally qualified people) was because he had nothing holding him bank and he could say "Sure, I can be there in a week".

Hate him, hate him, hate him
