What do you do (for work) when you're not riding?

I worked 7 years as a Service Writer at a new car dealership. Worst job I ever had, but it paid the bills.
Now I'm a Registered Nurse at a HUGE Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor. It can be a little annoying being the only guy on the floor for 12 hours a day, but I love the work. Many days, KZR is the only contact I have with another guy besides my 2 year old at home.

10 hours behind the wheel everyday( except weekends ), workin' for medical supply & equpment company
:blink:
Cheers!!!

During the day, I manage and own a liquor store. At night I work as a quality control chemist for a laundry detergent manufacturer. What little free time I have,I spend with the wife and kids. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to ride right now

I'm a warehouse manager for a major supplier selling radiators, a/c condensers, and heater cores.

I like long walks on short piers at sunset. 6 miles from work, but 42 streetlights, and 9 stop signs in between. That's what you get when living in the city.<br><br>Post edited by: CoreyClough, at: 2008/01/24 19:32

Hello All!

I just joined here tho i have been lurkin' around for a while! these are the coolest threads and a good way to get to know all of you in here!


I am a professional upright bass player, and i have four working bands at the moment up here in Montreal. i play Jazz, Blues, Klezmer, Country, Bluegrass etc.

I've always kept a part time truck driving job on the side because music can be very feast of famine, and i drive for a company that exclusively transports art so i get to see alot of famous paintings and sculptors.

over the past year i became the owner of a local 60 person capacity restaurant that features .... you guessed it! live music, so now i get to play in my own place!

so if anyone is motoring up to Montreal come on by and say hello and see some fine music.

here is my myspace page so you can see little videos of all my bands performing, and one video of me skydiving!

Your avatar just brightened up my day. If it was appropriate to have Steal Your Face as the wallpaper on your computer in Corporate America I most deinitely would.

The Dead probably have the most appropriate line for those of us who scorunge for parts or consider buying parts bikes..

From St. Stephen "One man gathers what another man spills"

Entremanure...I mean entrepreneur. Pretty much have always been self-employed because I don't like someone under-paying me to listen to them.

Started a comedy/trivia/community newspaper called South Side Story about 15 years ago up against two big guys (I love to kick their tails around every once and a while) and then took the idea to syndication, in other words, I sell a complete newspaper to other newspapers in digital form We were (and I believe still are) north America's only humour (Canadian spelling there for our Amercian friends) and trivia newspaper. It is called Kicks.net

Customers simply email me each month when they need another issue and I direct them to our ftp site where they download the complete file. Then I send them an invoice which is the part I like the best!

Pretty simple concept, and the nice part is that I have to only pay once to have the issue made (which I take care of with my main publication South Side Story) but can continue to resell it to other customers as they move through the line of issues.

Have also invented a rather unique beer tray for bars and restaurants that I patented, designed and had manufactured. Sold my first order to Labatt's Breweries and their first order of 5000 trays got me started. I brought a logoed, wooden prototype that was painted to look plastic and they loved the concept which had coin compartments and a fingertip opening moulded into the base for the server to grab hold of. It was the only serving tray that held a full-size logo at POS, point of sale, or in simple terms, right in front of the customers nose.

Done a bunch of other things to help fill in the time and am currently working on my first online business, a community-based site that will offer a unique service that everyone needs. Too early to say anything yet about the idea but all of the time I have wasted hanging around kzr has gotta come in handy some day-right?

Pretty much have the best job in the world but I still would rather just float around instead of showing up at the office 'cause nobody ever puts on their tombstone that they wished they spent more time at the office:)

Gotta say I liked wiredgeorge's suspicous memory lapse about who and where he worked. Something tells me there are a few hundred stories behind his blank work record:)

I have had a lot of different jobs over the years, primarily labour intensive, construction, etc. I was also a raging dope smoking drunk for a long time. I packed it all in and found myself with a grade eight education. I went back to school at 35 and completed all of my high school, coming out with an award for a high average. Then at age 40 I went to university and got a degree. Currently I am in a small Saskatchewan city that carries a unique addictions counseling program (one of only two like it in Canada, and why we came here). I have been accepted into the fall intake and I'm currently driving night shift taxi to build up my tuition coin. I drove taxi on the weekend while in university, to survive financialy. Why taxi with a degree?, well, it's because my resume is very mottled from my old animal days of drugs/booze and this smaller city is financialy depressed with limited job opportunities, but we have to stay here for this fall program. My wife is a teacher with two degrees but due to a provincial glut of teachers, she does not have a current contract. At this moment she is the assistent director of a child daycare. I was supposed to go into the counselor program last fall but my wife got a teaching contract on an isolated, fly in, northern reserve so I rolled the intake over for a year. The reserve turned out to be a hell hole of dysfunction and we left after 4-5 months. Actualy, roughly half of the "outside" teachers left with one female being physicly assaulted by an Aboriginal male teacher on that reserve. Man the stories I could tell! Anyway, that's it. Socking away dough for the fall and as of late researching how to Hook up my new Dyna package without screwing it up in the spring.:laugh:
