It is interesting to know what people do for a living at this site. I am an apprentice industrial insulator by trade. Never a dull moment on the job and it is cool that more and more women are getting into the trades, keep the men on their toes!

I try to figure out what I want to be when all of me grows up one day

I've a lot of things in the works all at one time, chaos is key

But right now IT pays bills.

Oh and I am considering volunteering for the St Petersburg GP next year. This year
I 've surprised my wife with day/pit passes. Last year I wanted to take some
digital pic's for someone and missed out. This year I won't depend on someone else
to get me in

They just ran in Australia 3 weeks ago I think from what the guy at the promo tent
was telling me when I was checking out one of the display car/shell's.

Next year I will be working with the guy for the sign in, he said I would get to see
most of the racing doing that? not sure but hoping

Sounds like you have lots of experience in the day to day grind of the work-a-day world, footsie and I'm sure some good jobs and some not so good but it makes this life interesting

At the moment I am Unemployed, on SSD for the time being. Getting paid to go to school at ITT - Tech. Learning Web Development. Actually expanding my knowledge you could say plus getting the nice piece of paper saying that I know what I'm talking about. Going to go for my A+ Cert soon.

Used to be at the Sheetz Help Desk. Fixing computers, taking customer complaints, helping the stores in any way possible, etc.

I think that's all. O' I sit in front of the computer basically all day you could say.

Self-employed building designer [Architect].....in my spare time......but mostly I help administer a website you 'may' be familiar with...
When doing neither, I mess with computers [where 'mess' is the operative word]...by making life complicated for myself....
Now if only GP Officialling was a 'paid job' I'd probably just do that, and to heck with Councils, clients, and Planning Regulations and recalcitrant Objectors....

Retired (great occupation) to a sub-tropical Island off the east coast of Oz. Play competition golf on a wonderful sand belt course (3 times a week). Religiously read the WC message board, download skins and things (Really enjoy Wincustomise). Paddle with the Dolphins. My small dog takes me for bush walks. My wife paints-(Watercolours). Forgot to mention - On the golf course we have Roos, Dingos, Ducks, lizards, Snakes. The visiting Pro's call it the Barnyard. However living just up the track is Keith Irwin (Crocodile Man) at his Australia Zoo. Life is pretty good, touch wood.
