Writer (unpublished)
Photographer (60% unemployed)
Boat Bum (yet to find a boat)
Student (who sleeps in class)

Geeze, after all that, I don't know what I am. But I think I'll have to add "tequila tester" to the list, or I'll get depressed.

I work for a hardwood flooring manufacturer as my day job. On the side I'm trying to become a full time photographer so that I can quit my day job.

In my day job I am a journal editor for the UK Trade Marks registry. Quite a nice job, but I do long to do something more rewarding.

I have ofter thought I would like to work as an RSPCA (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) officer, but then I don't think I could trust myself not to beat on people who are mistreating animals, so it might be a short career!

20 year Mac consultant-to-the-stars, which mostly has given way to equine/critter photographer, much more uncertain but definitely more rewarding in other ways.

..............waiting for the rotten tomatoes to be thrown..............


umm... i think queenslanders come a close second us NSW'lers


Those be fighting words :-) As someone who has lived in both, I would go fo QLD during the "winter" and NSW during Dec-Feb only if you can avoid Sydney traffic :-)) But if you gata choose, then it be north you go :-)

I used to have a real job designing and coding applications that people used. Now days, I am religated to trying to figure out what people really want vs. what they say they want and how to get them something close with 1/2 the amount of $ it would really take all the time while carrying a stick to keep a herd of coders from taking every short-cut that exists in order to meet the contract :-/ If it wasn't for the stick part, it would not be worth doing these days :-)

Renaissance man.

To pay the bills, I'm a Production Control Supervisor for the world's leading mfr of medical video cameras (yes, the ones they stick in your belly and uhhm, OTHER places). I try to do that for as few very intense and hard-working hours as I can get away with.

Outside of "that place", cyclist, hiker, sailor, surfer, mountaineer, motorsports fan, woodworker, scuba diver, kayaker, paintball player, amateur photographer, brewer, soon to be winemaker, stepdad, husband, chef, caterer, swimmer, triathlete, connoisseur (of ?), artist, fisherman. . .

(I'm sure there's more, but the Merlot is cutting my memory short)

Andrew,

If you are looking for gold, you should come in my area, they keep opening new gold mines lately, and there's lots more to be found around here.

:P


Yeah, but then I'd have to leave my beloved mountains, glaciers, and pacific old growth rain forests...


I know what you are talking about.... I lived on Vancouver Island for 4 years.

My living place right now if filled with gold but the landscape is not good at all. Since I joined DPC, the only thing I've been thinking about is to find a way to get back west... :P
