What's your day job?

[BlackSnake]

There are so many varying personalities here. It make me wonder what Lit authors do for a living. I would guess that your choice of career is reflected in your posts or how you post.

I'm very choppy, and don't mind misspelled words, because I have a compiler that catches those things and corrects them for me.

What's your career?

I design clothes and hope the unsuspecting masses will pay an arm and a leg to wear my name and ideas.

(cue evil movie laugh, as I rub my palms together)


So far so good

I can see that. I'm guessing, but other women look at your personal style..."I wonder where she got those digs"

I have an edge here...you're pro woman, which is reflected in your posts. I love hearing from you.

Raising well educated children, I bet. How do you think your present career choice affects your posts, other than having the luxury of making them?

Try thinking coherently while a two year old is screaming in the background because he wants the toy that his brother has....

Tell you anything? lol

I find that I can't really participate much in the threads that require deep thought. My thought processes need some semblance of quiet in order to work properly, so any quiet time I do manage to get is used to write stories.

I don't have the first problem, but my wife and I have finally agreed to work to get it...

I'm in the mist of battling with a politically charged department in order to get system specifications, so I can complete their software here at work, so time to read through an entire thread is difficult. I try to keep things light in order to participate.

I presume you mean 'a living' as in paid work...

At the moment, I teach 76 three and four year olds, phonics each week. It's the best job I've ever had and a great bunch of staff to work with. (All of us are of similar ages, all women with families - very understanding of each other - a rareity in this day and age).

But then you probably picked my work because I rarely post anything with more than two syllables, and I waffle a lot here because well, you try getting a word in edgeways with that many kids around.

Negative. Not a thought to pick at your work. I see that as an advantage you have. There are a lot of replies to some threats (Not this one, because I'm being ignored), and you should be use to listening to different people at once and figuring out which one you want to respond to.

I make the stuff other people write look good. I guess the proper title is Art Director.

Edited to add: ...and what do you do, BS?

I'm sure that your style shows in your posts

I'm a software developer.

Not necessarily.

My language is not English.

 

[oggbashan]

I've retired - twice. At my age I should be.

Used to be, in order,
- a supervisor,
- a mainframe system controller,
- a buyer,
- an expert in contract law (English and Scots);
- an estate, finance, personnel and support staff manager for offices spread across the UK; then added a computer department, two apprentice training schools, an in-house film and video unit, consultancy in employee outplacement, relocation of major technical facilities before retiring the first time.
- Then started again in local government as an estate, finance, personnel and support staff manager;
- became a system manager and help desk for managers;
- devised new accountancy system and installed it before the directors found out that I had designed it so that no one could fudge the accounts or massage the figures to look good so I was retired again.

Now I run my own secondhand book shop for fun, not profit. My real job is to be the scourge of City Hall.

[wishfulthinking]

I am doing an electronic course by distance that means I will be qualified as a solicitor in 4 months, and I start the BIG job next Tuesday. Very nervous. But not to be left out, I am a children's craft teacher, and I take 2 classes a day.

Don't worry BS, I dribble a lot too!
