That's a fun job. You get to hear all kinds of interesting stories behind accidents. Insurance investigators are also a fun job. It sounds lame by title, but by trade you really do get to do a ton of cool stuff and hear fun stuff.

Right now, I'm mostly a freelance writer, run the blog in my sig, and work landscaping gigs. Whatever I can to make money to pay the bills. Occasionally I go back to working retail just for shits and giggles, but I try to avoid that as much as I can now because of how crappy most of the retail management locally is.

I'd like to expand my writing forays farther with the connections I have, but for now the landscaping pays too well to give it up. Plus the life experience and real world work experience really helps the writing. It's one of my pet peeves that writers who have always lived a lofty lifestyle try to write the everyday man having never truly experienced it and then get overtly arrogant and start claiming superiority over the 'plebians.' Makes me want to just smack them upside the head.

Yeah, that sentence got away from me, but I also tend to prefer an informal style in everything but real written work.
