Yeah....As we all now know all too well. The rest of us would appreciate it if you'd keep your excess there, rather than shipping it to DC.

I'm a cowboy who forever stamps the poor unsuspecting townsfolk of Cedar Gulch with the capital letter "X". I'm considering a transition to the role of Cowboy O, but nothing firm yet.

Actually I'm a software designer who does mostly advanced development and prototyping for a division of a large publishing company that develops and markets educational and intelligence assessments. Presently I'm working with .NET, C#, MSDE, SQL and stuff like that. My last project was a scoring and analysis system for the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale 5th Edition. I mostly designed the UI and application framework as well as designing most of the artwork for the application.

Interesting how when asked 'what do you do' we often reply with:
I am a waiter
I am a nurse
I am a mens room attendant
etc etc ad nauseum

I ask is this really what all of you DO or is it just your job? I would say I am a musician, I like to paint, sculpt sew my own KILTS

make love... What is my JOB? I am a technical support engineer. Maybe I am just arguing over the question in the original post in my own mind, but I think that unless you TRULY love your job it is just that and you DO what you really love outside of that JOB - maybe that is a differant topic all together.

Be Well

... i'm a stone carver. i carve marble by hand. No power tools unless it's to square a bottom. i draw and paint nudes. Some wood and lino cuts...but mainly i carve stone. And i sell it just not quite enough to cover all the bases...but close. Currently working on a Private Grant for $25k.
...in order to cover the bases i have day jobs. Last day job 2 and a half years was driving a 36 foot modified RV with stations for hair, make up and wardrobe stylists...which was all for Photo Shoots for many different magazines, catalogues and such. Got to draw a few celebs...from Brad Pitt to Helen Hunt not to mention many models/talent and crew. Driving a 36' RV is fun and meeting all these new people was great but ... ya never knew when you were working... i had "my" RV and it was a traveling gallery.

Before that i was a Stone mason for an Australian company trying to get a foot in the door here on the west coast...Ran the warehouse, drove a forklift, shaped sandstone from Gosford Quarries in Sydney.

Before that i worked as a sculptor on movies 'n such. My claim to fame here is the Big Emmy's you see on TV ... that was my project. Also the over-size dolphin fountain at the Long Beach Aquarium i had a big hand in. But really it's all about hacking foam...hence i was a foam hacker... everything is made of foam.

Worked on several movies...nothing to spactacular. a 3D 70 mm Imax called Journey of Man featuring Circ du Solei (could a been good but was soooooo hoookey) and Psycho Beach Party... a real "B" movie

6 years as Personal Assistant in Beverly Hills. lots a messed up folks here who know nothing of reality.
