And now we present the women who make you actually want to go in to the office. Are you a hot girl with a cool job? Write us so we can appreciate you.

Professional poker player Tiffany Michelle was the last woman standing during the 2008 World Series of Poker and came 17th in a field of over 6,000 to cash in over $330,000.

What's cool about your job?
Playing poker is actually a stress reliever for me as well as a natural high. There is something calm and serene about sitting down at a poker table, tuning out the rest of the world and putting 100 percent of my focus on the game, the cards and the players.

It's also an adrenaline rush to sneakily pull off a big bluff or to win a huge pot of chips and then scoop them all into my stack. Collecting a tangible reward for your work is very fulfilling.

What's the weirdest thing that ever happened during a competition?
I encounter all kinds of people at the poker table. I primarily compete with guys, and there are a lot of strange personalities that come out of the woodwork. I've seen guys lose their mind over the most trivial things, get into fights, I've been cussed out, hit on and had to sit next to people who smell like they haven't showered in a week!

Read how Tiffany psyches out the competition after the jump.

Do your looks help you psyche out competitors?
I usually wear hats and hoodies and tend to play down my looks when I'm at the poker table. I never want someone to think that I've gotten where I have today or have the results that I do because of some special advantage as a hot chick. I want to be respected for being a great player, just as good as the guys. With that said, yes, I do notice that guys get a little nervous and unsure of themselves when I sit down at a table.

How do guys react when they find out what you do for a living?
Guys get so excited when I tell them what I do. They think it's really sexy and badass, but I have to be prepared to be bombarded with a million questions. Inevitably they want to discuss every poker hand and experience they've ever had. They're always curious about the money and ask how much is the most that I've made and if I've played with such-and-such famous poker player. Then, of course, they invite me to come play with them.
