Poll: What do you do for a living
« on: November 13, 2006, 09:15:18 AM »
Just curious what the FOT do as day jobs:

I am a public interest attorney helping people who are being sued or evicted in municipal court in Chicago, like Law M*A*S*H*.

It all depends on how you look at it.

Pros-
I have a lot of leisure time, no work related stress, no commuting.

Cons-
No money.

Struggling writer and commercial proofreader on-call. Last week, I spent one day proofing fertilizer bags.

I'm close to Jason's status. I quit a temp gig at the end of last month and have no plans of going back to it. Right now, I'm working on a part-time basis doing hospitality setups for bands at a rock club in Cambridge. Also trying to revive my freelance writing efforts for a RI-based arts/entertainment publication. And I'm in the middle of finishing a quickie software contract for Wellesley College's communications department (still waiting for those checks, of course). The rock club feeds me, at least.

I work over at ConSolidated Cardboard  in NewBridge.

But really... I'm not sure what my job is... we make audio and video cables and attach them to patchbays and stuff like that we make that go in trucks for TV shows? I've only been woking a little over a week. So I've mostly been doing n00b stuff, working my way up.

I am a Project Manager for a commercial construction company.  Easily the most boring job here.

When I'm not at school, I part time at a traffic survey firm.
Either I sit in a car and count cars with a Gameboy like device for three hours (BORING part),
or I lay rubber hoses, which are hooked up to a machine that counts vehicles, across busy highways (exciting part: trying to avoid getting struck by a car)
