Very awesome, If you have any cool stories from your work please share them. Today a teen mom was in, she is 15, a ward of the state and they have told her to talk to me about financial assistance. My boss is saying the state has to pay full, No discounts. Its really sad that my tax money is going towards paying for medical bills of a girl who has no role models to show her right from wrong.

I feel really lucky to live in Canada, where the tax money goes towards paying for everyone's healthcare, regardless of social standing.

Check it!
I feel the same way about living in Denmark, and i also love hearing about Americans complaining about their taxes, when they pay so little anyhow.
Anyway, i'm currently studdying, while i work at a place called "Forbrugerrådet" in danish, which pretty much means consumer's council, which is a huge independent coorporation in denmark, which helps secure danish people when they buy stuff, to make sure the merchandise is top dollar and also help people who's been cheated, by for example giving them free lawyers for leading a case against the cheating producers

So you telling me no one has any interesting stories they would like to share?
Ok here is what is going on at my job, Its been rather slow with helping patients, so I began helping the other parts of patient accounts. Its gotten to the point where I am working 13 hours a day "not" doing my actual job, Its kind of nice doing something different but then again I really shouldnt have to do this.
Well Obama tried to implement something like that, he got stopped bye the huge Insurance corporations though and made it different that if you dont have insurance you gotta pay more in taxes for state aid.....

Yes but its a proud job to have, not everyone can do jobs like that. Remember every job is there for a reason, there is a reason why you are being paid to do that work, its important one way or the other and at the end of the day......your the one that can do the that job where others cant.

Alrighty here's a story:
I teach English (as a foreign language) in China. This week we're talking about travel in the United States, so I showed them some bits of Stephen Fry's America. He visits a Fortune Cookie factory in San Francisco, and I explained to them that even though they've never heard of Fortune Cookies before, in America it's a generally accepted fact that they're a Chinese food.
The looks on their faces were priceless.

Now that would be a job that would be interesting, I personally only know English, have no intentions of learning another language unless it's a dead language such as latin. But the idea that your teaching in general is nice
It is a pretty awesome gig, we only teach up to 16 hours a week (this semester I teach 14) and we get reimbursed airfare to and from the US, an apartment, utilities+ internet, and enough of a salary to live off of comfortably with some travel mixed in.
So I pretty much get paid to speak English for 4 hours each day and then play wow.
