What do you do for a living?

Monday, November 10, 2003 by carolelee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

It is interesting to know what people do for a living at this site. I am an apprentice industrial insulator by trade. Never a dull moment on the job and it is cool that more and more women are getting into the trades, keep the men on their toes!

IT Systems Administrator for a safety product company....earplugs,safety glasses, that sort of stuff. Before that Assistant General Manager & Technical manager for Entertainment companies in Indianapolis, Las Vegas & Orange CA.....Before that 12 yrs as a copier repairman...and before that a carpenter till i cut a couple fingers off back in '83. Part time rock-star when I was young..WOW, that was looong ago! Of course since my kids are almost all grown I still want to be a rock star, astronaut & beach bum surfer.

Still have my FM-2's Quantum packs, couple of muslims drops, stands and stuff.

You could send them to me   I'm sure that would *really* make your wife happy!

Old Crab, I eat tons of rice.....  But, I'll take some of that sake when you're done, too

Meyend Tripp, have you met the duck in person   We have Aflac coverage here for our cafeteria plan.  Has worked out beautifully.

What do I do? One guess.





BTW, the IB drum solo remains the best in rock and I still stand, hand-over-heart for Born to be Wild (except when used for commercials)

sea Snakes are kinda neat really, though dangeruos as you can get

we had a call to the police in Clearwater one morning and they taped off a block and allowed no one near it. Called in the body bag guys and they found out it wasn't a human though it was as big as one, it was the carcas of a Jewfish someone had caught, butchered and dumped down town

JF are really BIG Grouper

I think I want to be Bill Gates when I grow up?

But have found I really do not like working *on* computers much anymore. Working *with* them would be much nicer. <--(token topic tickler )

I manage a backpacker hostel in (paradise) Far North Queensland, Australia.
I've had over 25 years in hospitality/tourism. You name it.... if it's hospitality I've probably done it.
But this is probably the best job I've ever had. I get to deal with a new bunch of folks, both young and not-so-young, nearly every day. There's never a dull moment... ever! Oh some of the stories I could tell!
When I'm not doing the above, my computer rules my life, and I'm happy to let it.

This is an interesting thread, cuz I was wondering the same thing. But, I was actually wondering how many, if any people actually make a living skinning, web design, or even at Stardock/Webcustomize. I would think it should be possible for a few, given the sheer numbers of people who subscribe to Stardock, skin, or just use others' skins, as I do (for now).

BTW, I'm a landscape architect/park planner for the National Park Service.
