I've found a solution.

I am now using clear eyebrow retainers, instead of labret retainers. They are a little longer and easier to keep in.

Though I do have to use forceps to hold the O rings while I put them in... After losing all of my plastic O rings I bought a bunch on Ebay.

Those fuckers are a bitch to get in otherwise.

I got 10 of them for 5 bucks on Ebay.

My current job doesnt care, Im in an office but my part time job is filled with stuffy white soccer moms so I have to wear the retainers.

Its only part time so I dont mind right now.

Warehouse and factory jobs they typically don't care about piercings so long as they won't interfere with safely operating machinery. *Some* call centers don't care, but that varies by call center. Some have a strict business casual dress code, but I've had friends work for some tech support companies where you could show up in your pajamas and they wouldn't care so long as you met your call quota for the day.

Lots of fashion-oriented places don't care either. The hairdresser that normally styles my hair is covered in piercings and tattoos, for example, and her employers obviously don't care.

In this economy, finding a job should take precedence over appearance, however. Good luck though. I'd start searching in those types of positions mentioned above. Either positions that are fashion-savvy, relating to body modification, or don't deal directly with the public.
