Turkey wrangler?

I too am on a quest for passion...it looks like your list included some things you could have been passionate about...

Mine former jobs all revolve around computers, banking, accounting and lending... Not much passion in this stuff....

A turkey wrangler (my designation) is someone who picks the turkey up by their legs and puts them into a truck. I did this a few times when I was in college. At the breaks we had turkey sandwiches.

I have been most passionate about ministry. However, it is the job that has been the most difficult on Phyllis (wife). Her personality does not do well in a fish bowl, especially when someone keeps throwing Piranas in the tank.

What on earth is a roustabouter??

So, you might be changing again?


Details... details? You always leave us hanging.

Nancy,

A roustabout is the lowest man on the totem pole in the oil business. The summer after my senior year, I worked for Mitchell Energy as a roustabout. Mostly it involved digging up old pipeline.
