This is a fun thread, interesting seeing what people do besides blather away on here.
I'm an optician, which is just a fancy way of saying I sell glasses, contacts, etc. at a retail chain. Really there's more to it than that, but that's the company's bottom line. I really like it, I like interacting with patients/customers. Sometimes I even get to know more about them than what they need in eyewear. Since I work evenings when it's not busy usually I can spend time chatting with folks, get to hold babies sometimes while mom tries on glasses, stuff like that, it's loads of fun till you get an @$$hole, but I can usually handle them. I just have to remember it's not me they're pi$$ed at.
