What do you do for a living?

I'm the art director for a major firearms company. So I get to hunt, fish, and color for a living...you know, it's all in the interests of being able to portray the lifestyle accurately! We do packaging, catalogs, and advertising for our outdoor products (I got my Garmin after the Garmin people sent us one for a photo shoot and we got a chance to test it out).

 

I am one of those lucky people who have a job they really love... it's the best job in the world.

I?m a two-way radio technician servicing radios in police, fire ambulances, 911 centers and so on. I?ve been doing this for 35 years now. In about four more years I?ll decide if I like it well enough to stay. Perhaps at that time I?ll go into Geocaching full time. :-)

I drive a dump truck for the Public Works Department for the City of Des Moines. I plow streets in the winter and make streets in the summer.

 

I, like others in this forum, dabble in zymurgy. :b

I dive on Naval Ships, Submarines, etc. We fix it, patch it, report it, picture it and sometimes just look at it because we work for Uncle Sam and we can do that!!

Flightsims!!!!? Hell I'm an aviation Freak!!! Airshows, 1:48th scale modelling, Falcon 4.....You name it...(Even jumping out of planes) Even came THIS close to becoming a Canadian ATC.....Made it all the way to the background check only to get screwed by some unfortunate/unwise "incidents" in my late teens...grrr

As far as guns go I'm still trying to get a replica AR-15 shipped up here...(No can do in Canada grrrrrrr)...And last but not least: BEER!!!!! Hell when the cost of a 24 exceeded $30 up here I took matters into my own hands and immmediately began brewing my own premium beer (which IMHO is better!!!) The pics says it all....LOL


 

By the looks of things, according to the aforementioned profile, it looks like I should be a Mail Man. But no, I'm a technical writer. I'm is a colige gratuit and my first job out was working at Walt Disney World taking hotel reservations, stocking the li'l mini bars, and being an off the wall Jungle Skipper on the World Famous Jungle Cruise. Had lots of fun, but $800 rent and $7/hr just weren't compatible. I'm now making double with half the expenses and hating it.

 

I, too, love to fly (have my CFI), love geeky gadgets, want to buy a scanner but haven't, would love to jump out of airplanes 'cause there IS no such thing as a perfectly good airplane, and have brewed my own beer both from scratch and from kits. Hey - I'm paying C$45 for 24 of my favorite longnecks. I better whip out the kit...

Guest BassoonPilot

I'm a bassoonist in NYC and environs. In my line of work, "being all thumbs" is considered a positive attribute. (If you're familiar with the bassoon, you know what I mean.) When I'm not performing with my bassoon, I'm sitting home at my desk designing and making bassoon reeds for other professional bassoonists.

 

The most common question I hear from people attending their first concert is: "That's an oboe, right?" (Surprisingly, people rarely ask the oboists if "that's a bassoon" . . .) Of course, I'm always happy to explain it to them, and play them a little tune . . . ANYTHING to help develop a new audience member for classical music!

 

For fun, I fly Cessnas, geocache, build computers and collect vintage technology.

Manager of the Electric Systems Design group within the R&D department of a company in Sweden, Stralfors, that makes paper handling machines of various types.

 

Got into geocaching because I saw the Vista at a friend of mine, wanted one and then had to find an excuse for having it...

 

Besides, I've been competing in orienteering since 1972, so this is just another way of finding the way.

My background is Surveying. I have been working on parcel information for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for the last 18 months. Lots of research and 100 year old survey plans! The real world is not as flat as it seems on a survey plan! I am a computer geek by necessity, not by choice. My husband is a GIS Specialist with the MNR also. He is a computer geek by choice.(The computer in the garage is networked with the other 3 in the house). We just started geocaching and love being able to put all of our hard work mapping Ontario to good use.

I hope the original poster of this topic will not be offended that I have started a new one. I liked to drop in and read about our diversity (and similarity!), but at 320+ posts, the original thread took way too long to load!

Boy, I guess old topics really don't die...almost a year this topic sat idle...

 

As for me, I'd like to say I geocache for a living, but I haven't figured out how to get someone to pay me for running around in the woods looking for tupperware....Wait, maybe I could be a spokesperson for Tupperware icon_smile.gif

 

I'm lost. I've gone to find myself. If I should happen to get back before I return, please ask me to wait.
