What do you do?

[brell]

Just out of curosity  

I have an MS degree in marine biology and am a junior college teacher and course director.

I am also researching the feeding habits of the harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) near my home town.


Hmmm.... How can I find time playing MM and building MM mansions?

[Semi-Native]

That's great, brell! I have a BS in Zoology, but I never really used it. I still have a great love of all wildlife, with a special love for marine animals. I did a summer of sea turtle research during my 1 year of grad school. That was 20 years ago. :

I actually ended up doing graphic design, mostly. Right now I'm an administrative assistant at our church, but I get to use graphic design and some web design. I like it, it's part-time and the people I work with are really great.

I've said before elsewhere, but I'm an undergrad studying Chemical Engineering. I hope to work on alternative energy technologies, and fear I may need more than a BS to do it.

I pay the bills as a webmaster for the University's English Language Center (for ESL students).

Wow, all these educated people. I don't have a degree but I work as a Senior Systems Engineer for Wells Fargo Bank. I coach youth basketball ages 5-15. I am a 4th degree Black Belt and teach Iai (the art of drawing the katana sword), Kendo and Ken-Jitsu. For fun I race an 11 second Dodge SRT-4 (Neon with 40% of a Viper motor) and today my bowling team took first place. For frustration I teach my almost 8 year old son Matthew programming (Logo and RoboLab) and digital art. In the winter months I am the Assistant Chairman for the Fiesta Bowl Parade.

Wow, Joe you have a busy sedule! I have school M-F from 9:00 to about 1:00 or 2:00, and at 2:00 I go to work for awhile, (About an hour or two) and then I come home and work on MM! On saturdays I work on MM alot, and play games on GR,* too. Sundays is the day for church, obviously, and after that I have the rest of the day free! I think I have the most time to play MM! (Unless some of you are retired)

*GR=GameRanger

Hi Rose -
My husband also is a veterinarian - just hit 40 years - Cornell '66. I've worked with him for the last 30. We used to have a mixed practice until his back and the economy began hurting! Now exclusively SA. We're starting to think of retiring - though I doubt he will really ever do so! Where is your practice?

[joeb]

Wow, Joe, do you ever sleep?

Not much. Residual wiredness from my 12 years on the road as a lighting designer. Yes I WAS a roadie and taught myself electronics between chugs of Heineken. Before you ask:
Roberta Flack, Southside Johnny, Robert Hazard, Clarence Clemmons, Dixie Dregs, Outlaws, Todd Rundgren, Beatlemania, SuperTramp, Edgar Winters, Sha-Na-Na, Tower of Power, Graham Parker, short stints with Judas Priest, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Jackson Brown, Steppenwolf..... lots of others.
I was at Woodstock, saw JimiHendrix change a B string while he was playing Message of Love with Buddy Miles at the Filmore East, New Years Eve 1969. Met Carlos Santana, Stevie Nicks and Rick James backstage at a John Mayall and the Blues Breakers concert. Partied with David Johannsen when he was with the New York Dolls before he cleaned up his look and became Buster Poindexter. ran into Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister) on the NJ bar band circuit, split some pizzas with Joey Ramone and company at Club Bene in Spotswood NJ. AND used to listen to Bon Jovi while he was sweeping bar floors before he won the contest that got him a recording contract and the rest is history.
My favorite T-Shirt is the one that says

Life is a trip that shouldn't be ended with all your body parts pristine and intact but by sliding in on your backside beer in one hand saying WHOA what a ride!

I'm there......

So no, I don't sleep much.......

Oh and for the vets out there I once had a team of three huskies that I used to race on frozen rivers in upstate PA and considered running up to Alaska for the Iditarod...... Ah, the dreams of youth....

Hi Sherryl - I am working at the most southern part of Sweden. If you look it up, I live 20 km north of Ystad.

Joe - I am a sound sleeper, need about 8 hours each night. Wouldn't have time to do and experience so many things as you do.
