"Past jobs. Current job. Dream job. Aaannd...go!"

Past jobs: Sucked
Current job: Sucks
Dream Job: One that doesn't suck.

Actually, I'd love to write and direct movies. I have no expierence or training or schooling in anything that would help me with that, I just have ideas in my head that I think would make great movies.
Or

" A career? I've thought about this quite a bit sir and I would have to say considering what's waiting out there for me, I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I dont want to sell anything bought or processed or buy anything sold or processed or repair anything sold, bought or processed as a career. I dont want to do that. My father's in the army. He wants me to join, but I can't work for that corporation, so what I've been doing lately is kick-boxing, which is a new sport...as far as career longevity, I dont really know. I cant figure it all out tonight, sir, so I'm just gonna hang with your daughter."

Past Job: Supervisor at the Cashiers Cage in a Casino

Current Job: IT Help Desk at the same casino. Pay is a bit less, but I'm tons happier with it.

Dream Job: To steal from Office Space, to do nothing. That was always my answer growing up, haha. I want to do nothing.

I went to college for Computer Animation (have an associate degree). I do rather well with it, but I think it was a mistake.

past jobs - shop girl, sometimes crap (beadsshop, c**t of a boss) sometimes way cool (lush - really great people and tons upon tons of free stuff)

current job - toy shop in a museum, dino wrangling and orca rescuing

Dream job - i trained to make costumes, and prefer tv to the stage so working in the wardrob dept of a sci fi tv show or movie would be shiny - sci-fi always offers the biggest scope within one show - for instance, period, oriental, futuristic, contempory and total out and out barmy in one t.v. show i can think of, you may not have heard of it...

actually, thinking about it, yes, they do have that mix of stuff in stargate...

so how come stargate is only interesting when Vala (Claudia Black) is on the screen?

Because Claudia Black is more interesting than Stargate?

Now with her and Ben Browder on there, the whole thing feels like Farscape SG-1. Can't say that's a bad thing though. I'm enjoying it more now than ever.

Past job: Unemployed.

Current job: Homework Centre Facilitator with Tri-County Literacy (basically means I run weekly workshops that help kids who're having trouble in school).

(I'm thinking of getting a T-shirt with Jayne's "If I wanted schoolin' I'd'a gone to school!" line.

)

Career ambition: Writer for an ongoing series (novels, comics, movies, games, TV, you name it, I just want something that gives me room for long-term character growth [which is what got me hooked on Joss in the first place]).

Dream job: Head writer on a Transformers TV series. Soooooo many ideas (and the pre-determined cast [i.e., toys only] would help keep me focussed), and I could do so much better than the pile of go-se Hasbro's been feeding us for the last three years.

Though, really, a rock could probably do better than TF:Energon. . .

We're talking about jobs now?

I've had many. Let's see.

Started out as a babysitter. At college I worked at a library shelving books (incredibly boring, but I knew the Dewey Decimal System like the back of my hand), worked at an office doing filing and typing and various odd jobs and worked at a shoe store (the one that sold the crazy dancer shoes.) Also did the occasinal odd job like more babysitting, helping out in the cafeteria (I can operate those industrial dishwashers) and banquets (serve on the right, clear on the left) and doing a telephone fundraiser where I called people and asked them to donate to our scholarship fund. (Horrible! Never again.)

When I was forced to drop out of college, I worked as the assistant manager of the shoestore until it became untolerable and then I quit and was homeless for a month or so (pretty crappy summer I had) until I got a job as a live in nanny.
Was a nanny for 3 years, took a year off and worked at a bakery while doing some part time nannying and various odd jobs to make ends meet. Then a friend and I moved to Fl and I got another job as a nanny.

Did that for 3 years until the child went to daycare and then I worked at Barnes & Noble and did some part-time nannying and other jobs, I spent a week working at a Pepperidge farms factory stacking boxes of crackers on pallets and did some boring officey stuff. Then I found a full-time job as a Customer Sales Representative at a catalogue company and went back to school part time.

Then, I quit there because I was going to go back to school full-time, but I ended up moving here to help out my grandparents and spent the first 7 months working temp jobs. I spent a couple of days working on a tree farm, I spent 2 weeks making copies for an auditor. I worked at a dialysis clinic (I'm so blood and needle phobic, it was really scary for me.) and I worked at this computer software company owned and run by CRAZY people before finding this job. I'm the adminstrator at my church and I love it. Mostly.

As for the future job: I want to go back to school and get my degree in linguistics and become a bible translator. I want to travel to far and exotic places and learn and preserve previously unwritten languages.

Orpheus: We have common aspirations. My dream project is the Dekalogy (10 volume series) Mission Earth By L. Ron Hubbard. Problems with this....each book has so much detail that is essential to the story, there'd have to be 10 full movies. Battlefield Earth was sooooo bad, I'd likely not convince anyone to give this a go.
I read the whole thing twice. Once in high school, once in college. Surprisingly there is a soundtrack of 8 songs for the books written by L. Ron Hubbard and performed by Edgar Winter.

Scorpion Regent

Why would you be leery of L. Ron Hubbard? Would it have something to do with the fact that he won a bet with one of his friends that he could completely make up a religion that people would follow? Or more to do with the fact that the religion is Pyschology with pyschological terms replaced with words he made up. Fear not the dekalogy of Mission Earth has nothing to do with religion. Just good sci-fi action, comedy, sex, drugs, and rock and roll with political corruption and cover-up. A bad guy you can laugh at and almost feel sorry for, and a hero you can respect. Perhaps you might try the first book, "The Invaders Plan" before you decide. Or not.

I've been looking for a good sci-fi series to get into reading lately. Something original. Something not Star Wars.

My dad's been trying to get me to read David Brin's Uplift series, but I just can't get into it.

I guess I'll give L. Ron Hubbard a try one of these days, as of right now he is not a high priority.
I've read a fair amount of David Brin's work and I can say he is a good writer though he is not a exciting writer.

Neil Stephensen, now he's a great writer.

It was a bit complicated. I was horrifically depressed at the time. The timing was just wrong. I actually do really well with animation. I specialized in character setup and animation. I tended more towards game oriented animation but did fine work movie-wise, as well.

I wish it was a choice I had to make over again.

Okay, had no real time to get caught up on this thread. But I am alive. My mouse is nearly dead, so that's why I've been away.

Jobs? My current one (which honest to god sounds so much cooler than it is cos of the TV): Forensic Scientist for the State of Wisconsin Crime Lab System, Latent Print Examiner/Analyst. Trust me there are no Humvees or leather skirts. I don't wear heels to work, cos the radioactive dye would ruin them. I don't wear a lab coat all the time, and no, cases aren't solved at the end of the hour.

Dream Job: Novelist. Sci-Fi/Horror novelist. Of course I'd have to get over my Stephen King like inability to finish a story (or finish it well). Alternate: TV series writer or comic book writer, basically anything to get the stories in my head out.

SR: L Ron Hubbard freaks me out too. My issue is that this dude somehow convinced a lot of rich people that Sci-fi was reality and that if they subscribed to the program that they would get let in on the big life secret. Creepy.

well i am hoping I can actually post this cos I don't know if my mouse will cooperate.

Someone should open the 5th floor. Cos this is getting hard to upload (and to scan down without the ability to use the scroll bar).
