Your Job

[Neville]

I have an English degree, but I don't have a regular job yet. I'm doing some private lessons, just signed for another small job (oral translator for the city court / police, there are loads of inmigrants that don't speak Spanish here) and after Summer I am taking a course to become an English teacher.

And if that counts, I am also one of the phorum administrators at www.computeremuzone.com (under the name of Brill) and I wrote several Amiga Emulation Tutorials for www.emudek.org .

I'm a reference/electronic services librarian in a law library.  I've also been a child care worker and a Revolutionary War soldier for a summer.

Personally I'd love to be a Confederate soldier in one of those battle recreations, sounds fun!

Just as long as you don't have to wear a wollen uniform in the South.  In Summer.

BTW, I think we'd have won the Revolution a lot quicker if we were actually allowed to put musket balls in the muskets.  For some reason they didn't want me doing that.

I work on an account/membership level utilizing (and testing) a newly implimented admin platform for a very well known medical insurance company. Before that I worked for 7 years at a weather forecasting company selling software and equipment. That gave me more independence as it was a private company, my current job cracks the whip from 8-4:30...so no more trips to the movies at 2pm or whenever i damn well feel like it.

Sounds riveting eh? By night i'm a raving lunatic

...in fact i'm also one during the day

I'm a weather forecaster, been so since 1991...and before you ask, no I didn't see "Twister" or "The Perfect Storm"..I watch movies to forget about my job, not be reminded of it :)

You might also be asked to be in a crappy movie about a guy with a mullet and a plane that can travel through time!

[brawl67]

....what movie are you referring to?

I graduated with my bachelors in December....I start my police acadamy training in August.  So, I guess I'm a cop in training.  Right now, I just work part-time at a video store, trying to save up money.

If that question was directed at me, I'm talking about Time Chasers, a.k.a. Tangents.  Excellent MST3K episode, and the movie sucks ass.

oops Brother R, forgot to clarify...the question was indeed for you :)

Cool, I'm shipping off to Emerson to study film this September! (Oh, and in addition to Leary and the Fonz, I'm pretty sure it was home to Steven Wright, Spaulding Grey, and John Cusack).

As for my job... The closest thing I've ever had was sitting in the halls at school with a sign that said "WILL DANCE FOR $$$." Since I just graduated from high school, I guess that makes me unemployed (though I'm considering working as a "secret shopper" this summer).

I used to work for a weather company for many years. You might be interested in some of their products:

I know and am related to weather guru's - those are truly people who love their job.

Now how many of us are actually doing what we'd like to be. If anything I have great benefits with my job but i used to want to do something movie related, I still do. My website is all to show for my love of films (albiet an obsession).
