Not that way, but I have converted my boss and one colleague by the traditional viral method of lending out DVDs.

I'm a Computer Programmer for the US Air Force - the specific jobs vary periodically, but after 15 years, they're all just "the job" now :p

I'm a primary school teacher in the UK. (That elementary school to all you Americans.)

I've just got a new regular teaching job after having done day to day supply teaching for a couple of years. It's with littlies - 3-7 year olds!!!

I'm finishing up my 5th and final year of college. Just finished my physical sciences degree and classics minor, now need to complete my anthropology degree. I work part time at the National Air and Space Museum (Washington DC) teaching the kiddies how to make paper airplanes and doing demos on various airplane and space-related topics.

No power in the 'verse can stop me!

Well this is fun.

I was a theatre production major in college and even put it to use when I graduated with my BA. I jumped on board a small independent film production company here in my town of Cincinnati, but since we were pretty much self funded, and couldn't afford to keep going, the company shut down. *sigh* It was fun while it lasted.

So now, I am a billing specialist for a non-profit organization that helps children with foster care, therapy, helping them cope with divorce, we help single parents or first time parents. It's a pretty rewarding job in all honesty, knowing that I'm a part of this.

At the moment I'm taking a forensics class...just for the hell of it. I find forensics fascinating.

Hrmmm.... it seems you have a pirate problem, for a small fee i can recomend some solutions:)


I'm a supply chain consultant and some times independet contractor otherwise known as modern mercenary. Went to school for supply chain but picked up a minor in history and a lot of computer science classes. (never let people know you can fix computers......you never get anything done) Currently based in cincinnati.......but more realisticly just the airport.


As the punchline to a joke I was told when being interviewed for a consulting job.... a consltant shows up with out being asked, tells you what you already know and then expects to be paid or it.

We really aren't that bad I swear

Well, I guess we DO be a pressin' ship after all!

Mate, I be Cap'n GeeDunk Rose, and this be me ship. (I'll get back to you on the name. I haven't thought up one yet.)

And that ship over there is sailed by Capt'n Voudoo Nell. She and I be in cahoots. Together we wreck havoc across the seven seas (an' several threads) an' strike fear into the hearts o' th' weak.

Now ye can swear your loyalty to me an' me crew, join us as a pirate an' enjoy a share o' the plunder, or ye can die by my blade. It be a mite thirsty. Been a few days since I killed anyone.

What say ye?

Hehe, pirates are so cool. Anyway . . .

I'm a mild mannered secretary/bookkeeper for a welding shop by day and a writer by night. As you may notice from my signature, I just got my very first book published and never miss an opportunity to shamelessly self-promote, in hopes that writing may become my full time career.

My actual full time job isn't that bad. It's good money. It's just boring and I have to get up early. Also it's difficult to find time to write when you already work full time. But anyway, it works for now.

I work full time as a Customer Servies Manager for an Insurance Restoration Company. And if you don't know what that means (because most people don't) I comfort people who left their stove on and burnt done their house, or it flooded or a tree fell on it or some kind of damage that would make one call ones Insurance company. Then I get to fight with mortgage companies about money because of laws that require their name to be on the insurance checks and when people don't pay I'm the one that calls you everyday at work to remind you that money is owed.

I think that makes my job sound awful but mostly I just do homework. I am also a full time college student studing for a master in Mechincal Engineering and a BA in Physics. Lots of school ahead of me.

As for hobbies mostly I read, build gundums, watch movies, and play with my kitties Alpha and Omega.
