I was sort of a file clerk for the US Govt (good job for someone with no job skills or ambition!) for 27 years in various overseas locations. I can't recall where those places were... I can't remember the name of the organization I worked for. Retired in 1998. I now goof off most of the time except I have become addicted to sniffing carb cleaner and occasionally sell or rebuild vintage motorcycle carburetors. I am saving all my ill gotten gains so that I can to buy a OCC chopper and look cool.

Im lucky enough to work in real estate, I pretty much sit up the front like a little girl and handle the phones/customers and show rental properties in the afternoons.

oh and for the record: it doesnt matter that im covered in tattoos: if you come to one of my inspections with tatts showing I dont like your odds of getting the place (boss's rules not mine):laugh:

I'm a structural engineer intern. I take my professional license exam next year (yikes!) I'll probably start studying for it in a few months. Other than that, I am a freelance artist and small-time house flipper.

I use to model....socks....on the radio. :woohoo: :blink:

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.

I originally trained as a Haematology Nurse in the UK.

Packed that in, travelled overseas for a whil and when I came back funded myself thorugh Uni again for a Degree in Photography.

Now work (after several years of temporary contracts) as a freelance photographer in the Museum/Fine Arts industry. Only small scale but getting by at the mo. Fingers crossed.
