I don't have one.

I work in the computer labs at my university. Basically I just try to answer any computer-related questions they might have, and sometimes help them find and run programs.

Right now I sell tickets, which is the only thing I get paid for. This year I also got paid for a script to a short film, but that won't even be filmed until next year and not by me. Two years ago that same script earn me some scratch as a play performed as part of a festival. It's not my favorite, but the only one that has 'earned its keep.' Two other scripts are 'out there' but have yet to send a check home. The others are sitting at home waiting for someone to come to my door and ask if I have any plays I want done. Oddly enough, this has more or less worked more than once.

A doc I made is getting me a position filming races, maybe. Soon. I hope. Other than that it's hustling for backing for a series of short docs on my home town.

And selling tickets. Because that's the only thing I'm getting money for right now.

Maybe he actually meant sing language. Perhaps he interprets operas for those who can't understand what the characters are saying.

Ah well, the job doesn't require s/he write anything. Though now I'm completely amused by someone interpreting singing...like there is some place where musical/opera logic is the norm and s/he stands there and translates the songs into plain english for people not used to people singing at the drop of the hat....

Yeah, I remember that from another thread. Entertaining kids is full of rewards that far outweigh the annoyances. What more can one ask from a job?

Im an Engineering Technologist right now, specializing in structural design, when I can afford it, Im going back to University and finish my engineering, then perhaps continue with my original goal of going into Architecture. Whichever direction I choose, I wish to end up designing green buildings, and more specifically, heavy timber design with an emphasis in organic design.

Pretty dry to most people Im sure, but I enjoy it. :)

LOL! Well, I can't take credit for the "Miss Packman Lover" thing. That's set by the Jolt Forums system when you reach certain milestones in how many times you've posted. I think they "award" you the Miss Packman Lover title when you hit 2,000 posts on this forum. :)

Why the fuck would you wait tables over being a nurse? BOGGLED! You must be a nurse's Aid or something. Nurses make good cash...

I only wait tables one day a week, to help out a friend of the family :)

And I'm only an RN for another year or so, after that I'll be starting my residency and on my way to becoming a doctor. I would never want to be stuck working as a nurse (no offense to nurses :) )
