I write stuff for wikipedia and fanfiction, will volunteer online at NASA next month (yes!!!), take pics, sometimes translate, participate in these fora and on this site...
So ... I can't wait for the royalty checks to roll in from you using my annoying writing style (so .. ) .. without permission in advance .. WOOHOO! .. (*runs to call lawyer*)
I work in a hardware store where I manage the housewares department and the gift shop. I have recently expanded on some items which in turn has increased sales volume by almost $6000/month in a small town store. At the slowest time of yr I must add, lol. Ok Ok just a little bragging going on here. How excited am I? LOL

Well, I just joined, so you all likely don't care much .. LOL
I only wish I was retired .... but currently I am Correctional Officer in Ontario, Canada. (Jail Guard).
I am addicted to computer graphics and am constantly on the look-out for sites that can help me get my fix(s). :)
Looks like a great site, and I will try to get more active as I find out where everything is....
I'm a computer artist for a juvenile furniture manufacturer. Sometimes I get to draw my own art, more often I use licensed artwork (Disney, Nickelodeon, etc) to decorate various table & chair sets, toyboxes, shelves, etc.
Other than that, i'm a general goofball, grandparent-taker-careof, swimmer, spades freak, call-in-a-crisis, and all-around entertainment. I was recently described as a one-woman entertainment show. I think it was a compliment, but I could just be deluding myself.
My family and I own a small restaurant/ convenience store. Most of our customers are locals. Previously I worked in the Radiology department at one of the local hospitals for about 20 years. I just wanted to spend more time with my family as I got older and even though I have to work harder it is much more rewarding because I am with my family all day which to me is priceless!
Well, for half the year, I am an attentive mother of twins who I am homeschooling...during the next half of the year (football season, go Raiders) I am a psychotic, foul mouthed, bad finger flipping, beer throwing football fan. My kids have learned some "special" words during football season, and now have taken to charging me a quarter everytime one of those words fles out of my mouth...so my 5 year olds have become genuises at making money!
Ya, I used to be all stressed out about that, but then I just went with something that combined all my interests, which was kind of hard, but I managed I guess. I'm still not 100% sure about the teaching thing but I do know I want to go to Africa and teach there, so I might as well do it here too.
Ohh, crap ... and ... *off he goes* ... to speak to 'that' career counselor who put him onto the path of an intriguing and rewarding career in advanced fiber cleaning and restoration engineering. :P
Whew ...as long as while you are in the dream you don't fill out an application for Web Master to an art site ...er ... hit the ground? ... hmm, not sure there ... but, neither is good methinks. :P
errr...i work in an advertising marketing research firm where i basically sit at the computer and is online all day and put stuff in a database for clients who want to know where, when and how much their competitors are advertising...
whats my title...umm... i have no idea...
its basically a dead end job...but it is a job..
I am a childrens therapist who works specifically with kids with psych problems. I tutor kindergartners in their alphabet, upper and lower case letters and addition and subtraction of letter less than 10. I teach colors and life skills. I have a business also that qualifies children for special education services based upon disabilities such as Aspergers, Autism, etc. I go to IEP's, hearings, etc and fight for quality educations. I am married to Prism.
hmmm let me see.. what do i do?... I am... A cook, cleaner, taxi driver, referee, counsellor, teacher, debator, hair dresser, fashion consultant, dictionary, encyclopedia, nurse, accountant, secretary, telephonist, a bank/atm (i have a money tree growing in my garden apparently), artist, aunty, great aunty and A MOTHER... lol.. and only one of those i get paid for.. lol...
I work in a machine shop that manufactures lab equipment. I do assembly and receiving, and any other menial jobs my boss can come up with. Pretty boring, eh?
Oh, I am a mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, cousin, wife and step-mom too. Hats off to the moms. Like J_272004 says, its a job 24/7 and one of the toughest you can ever do and one of the most rewarding, so is being a dad.
Definite hats off to the Mums....er....Moms...er....Mama's......
I have no idea how you guys do it-I can't even keep my dog from getting fat. I would be such a bad mother; poor kids would be cleaning the house all day and I'd just be lazing by the pool eating chocolate and filling out my contestant form for the 29th season of Biggest Loser...
So hats off to the Mums and Dads of Caedes...maybe we could suggest to the all seeing eye something to celebrate all the parents/guardians who find time to post and parent?
NB: I'm guessing purmusic is the leader of the local Quick Quips Quickly Quipped Society...either that or he's a bitter ex-programmer for Microsoft who was shafted in nasty layoffs and now spends his time plotting his revenge by subverting local arts groups and stirring up dissent amongst the hippy community.
