Nice one!

Al, did you put the flower pot in the big Cave Troll box then? Admit it! :b I imagine working for customs to be an interesting job. Don't you find all the hidden things in suitcases and get to search people?

Anyway, I am actually a researcher and copywriter. Unfortunately, this is a 60 hours/week job on average but I loved it. I had to give it up when I had family and kids. So, after my divorce 10 years ago I took on a planning and administrative job with the University and also some teaching.
I'm pretty much independent, especially where my working hours are concerned, and the job gets me to meet interesting people from all over the world. Hehe, just like on this forum.

Next to that, I have a job as a financial consultant at a bank for 2 days a week and a job as assistent manager at a supermarket of 2 days a week. Gotta pay for those statues some way right?

Re: Jobs

Great thread indeed! Although some of it has already been seen in the "who are you?" postings, it is wonderful to see such a strange combination of careers.

I do several things, mainly because I enjoy them all and I have never been able to choose...
My main income consists of working as a freelance commmunications trainer / business coach / company presentor. It pays for the polystone :b
Next to that, I do some freelance IT consultancy and webdesign.
And next to that, I do security work where I work as a Close Protection officer, looking after celebrities.

Musiclovingdj: a friend of mine manages a nightclub in the UK. He might be interested in a Canadian DJ.

JohnyBoo: Next time I'm in the States I'd like to see what the Missouri policework is like.

Re: What do you do?

What a great topic!

Well, I am a father of two, step father to two more, and have 2 grandsons. On my 2nd marriage, which is MUCH better than the first.

For my career, have had many jobs, from managing Wherehouse Record stores in the 70's, to what I do now (for the past 20 years)..Director of Operations. (That is overseeing all computer and telecommunications operations).

I have been in Colorado for 2 1/2 years now.

And much like what BigDaddy stated....selling SS on EBAY for tons of cash!

BigHose:hat

Re: What do you do?

I am a Zoning Administrator for the 9th fastest growing county in the nation. I live just outside of Raleigh, NC. My job consists are reviewing and recommending land uses throughout the county to insure go harmony. However I report to several political and appointed board so often what I think and say are not as important as winning votes for the next election. Honestly I do not like my job, it pays well, but not well for my education and experience level. I have a two bachelors one in urban planning and one in statistics, and most recently as of 2003 an MBA.

I do however like my working environment very much, which means the people I work with make my job worth it. I am always on the lookout for a new position, and my next job will be a complete career change i know that for sure.

? Is this before or after joining the board?

Pre-board: systems administrator...network consultant...whatever you want to call it...my title is 'Consultant'

Post-board: Typing messages, listening for people coming towards my cube, searching for deals, scouring Ebay. All the non-productive stuff I need to curb. :b

Re: What do you do?

Former U.S. Air Force officer (ICBM combat crew commander), I'm now a communications and special projects officer in fund-raising at the University of Utah by day and an actor by night.

Just finished an extended run at three separate Salt Lake area venues as the arch-villain Chauvelin in the musical production, THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL (I send people to their deaths by guillotine during 'The Great Terror' of the French Revolution, 1794) -- hence my user name.

And there are a few heads in China that I'd send rolling, too, if I could! (kidding ... well, no). :b
