What do you do for a living?

I'm a software developer in Princeton. I enjoy building software, or anything else. We build a product for the clinical trials industry.
Has many good perks, including I'll most likely be in SF for a month, in February. So Lucimay and Sorus, you'll have to show me around and let me know some places to check out. Definitely the burgers will be tops on my list (I'm a carnivore also, that's carnivore, NOT omnivore). I don't know where in SF, but I'll be working w/Genentech, a big pharm company.

well...Genentech (wow, cool) is located in South San Francisco, which is not the City proper, it's it's own city, sortof. bedroom community, just down the road from SF, close to the airport (which makes sense of course).
so i hope you won't be stuck out in South City (as we refer to it)!

I'm an illustrator for a kid's scholastic publisher. They're in another state, so I work from home. We do short graphic novels about historical figures and events, which sell to schools and libraries. Apart from deadlines, it's a very fun job. The company is great, and I actually learn something in the course of penciling a book.
i am a carpenter(at least i am trying to make enough money in this field to make this my solitary profession) but i also work as a plasterer, brick layer etc to make ends meet.christmas has been very hectic for me because i make(LUXURY)kids toys and have to do all my own delivery's along with my dad.i would like to go international at some point in the next 10 years and hey, assuming i'm still here' i'll let ya know where you can get the finest damn kids toys in the world when i do.LOL

Wow - this is great - just found this and can't remember if I ever posted this info about me...
I am currently the main web-designer for our family-based web hosting and design company. I have learned a lot from the ground up since I started in the mid 90's. Before that I was an environmental engineer and a HazMat Specialist with the government and an environmental consultant for a few private companies. I gave up the environmental career for my favorite job :: being a Mom. The web design came to me from my brother who is an old IT man and still troubleshoots everything for HP and is CEO of our company. I can work from home, be a mom, and save the environment in many ways!
(...and I tried to keep this short!)

Nothing. I live with my grandparents and commute to Shorter College. Currently a twenty-year-old sophomore. I make all As and exercise like crazy, because I was once a fifth year senior in high school and didn’t exercise at all. At my heaviest, I was 320 pounds; the weight scale tells me I am currently 150.
Will probably make my living in something that involves writing or literature. Perhaps an English professor, but that seems as distant to me as becoming a successful author. Society tells me I'm a peasant and I must eek out my existence, but if it were up to me I'd just play video games all day. Too bad the world hasn’t got to that wonderful “robots-do-everything-for-us-and-we-live-to-be-200” phase.
In the end, I'd just like to be financially stable. Additionally, my only realistic dream is to publish my current compilation, "Gates of Life." Wouldn't care if only 5 people actually read it; I'd be so freaking happy if it just got published. A piano could fall on me the day after publication, and I'd still be smiling--I think. My second dream is to finish my novel; I began it my sophomore year of high school and stopped actively working on it around age 17; it's currently sitting at 120,000 words. One day I will be able to give it the attention it deserves. Maybe this summer. Lennon was right about life happening while you're busy making other plans, that's for sure.

Yeah, I just started jogging cause I couldn't go to my high school weightlifting class anymore (had just graduated). It was afraid of gaining MORE weight, heh. Had no idea I'd actually see results! Boy, that day I got back to 200 was the biggest milestone. Hadn't been 200 since 6th grade!

I do odd jobs around the house, and that is pretty much my job. Its bad, but oh well. I would like to be a graphic designer though, that would be great. (Look out, Edge! Right now I am a student (freshman in college) and I write. I'm not published yet, but I'm trying to change that. I don't have any other jobs right now, but I suspect I will get one next semester.

I work for Hudson Valley Developmental Disabilities Services Organization. It's a bunch of group homes for developmentally disabled adults. In almost every case, the DD is some degree of mental retardation, and often other physical or mental problems. I work in a Day Habilitation site. Rather than have our clients sit at home watching tv every day of their lives, they come to the Day Hab. We go out to movies, shopping, restaurants, museums, or anything else we can think of that we hope our clients will get something out of. For those physically capable, there's even a horseback riding program, which private citizens run exclusively for DD folks.

Oh, and I also forgot to mention that my only daily chore is feeding the dog. My room is always clean, I love raking leaves/mowing the lawn, and I vacuum without being told. Maybe I should be a butler?
The only thing I don't like is weed-eating the ditch, and that's because it's abnormally large. Its long and wide enough to be one of those worm tunnels from Tremors.

Hi all - back again, after my unceremonious dumping (thanks to those hackerfarkers -hope the evil curse I put on their a$$es catches 'em as soon as it crosses the international date line!
)
As for me, I'm a graphic designer (mainly print stuff and exhibition-related material) and have endless fun doing crazy Photoshopping exercises for my LOTR fan-fics and whatever other obsession takes me!) I like that I get paid for drawing pics on a computer. At night, I'm attempting to become a fantasy writer. Finding time among being editor of our state's archery magazine, three epic collaborative fan-fics and assorted freelance jobs tends to limit my writing time. Meh, it took Tolkien YEARS to write LOTR. I'm giving myself a bit of leeway!

I'm just a bit ANGRY at finding my ID and my posts all vanished. And of course I like to hit out at the perpetrators - would prefer to do it physically with a baseball bat wrapped in razor wire, but unless someone has that pus-faced little weasel's home address, I can't get Big Bubba and his gang of sewer rats to go round there to 'persuade' him to commit suicide!
I hate people who think they're being oh-so-fcking clever by destroying someone else's hard work. Hope that somebody DOES actually know who that idiot is, and gives him a nose-job with a chainsaw.
selah.
