Never given it much thought really. Aside from the obvious ones. Lumbar stuff for heavy lifters, lung stuff for coal miners, chronic colds for grade school teachers. How dim am I? Apparently there's an illness or two for every job out there.
Butchers? Bacteria. Factory workers? Noise. French civil servants?
As for me, an English teacher to 20-year olds who really couldn't care less? Headaches I get from banging my head against the wall.

I have exactly the same illness--'cept mine comes from marriage
Housewife - is there a label for being so tired of having kids with one cold or another since January - and a house in a constant state of requiring housework?
I just read your post from a few days ago re family/4kids - I wish I was younger for the main reason that I would love to have four kids - does that make me crazy? Hopefully my body will let me have one more when I'm done nursing this one!
Doc - Yeah but how's the salary?
Beth - I've never met a house that wasn't in a constant state or requiring housework. Except my mother-in-law's. And hers doesn't because it actually gets constant housework. Wanting 4 kids doesn't make you crazy, it just means you're one of that other breed I was talking about.
Salary? SALARY? Have you lost your mind? It's called slavery, hon. The south has risen again, right here in Haute Marne.
Salary she says. Bwahahahaha
(looks like this week's a no go too, drat. Maybe next?)
doc - maybe he considers the sex your salary...
next week is fine.
The sex? Oh hell, I'm screwed.
Everything sounds so wonderful in French, doesn't it? Maladies professionnelles. How delightful! I suspect my son's French teacher (he's 20) felt likewise last semester. Though he did care, but he got a D+ in the class, so she undoubtedly figured he couldn't care less.
Doc - Yes, I'd say you are.
Gina - So maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them, huh?
