I pay the bills by waiting tables; I work at an upscale restaurant in Manhattan so ironically, I make more money now than I did when I worked a "real" job in accounting. If it wasn't for the recession, I'd still be a desk jockey.

I am a badly motivated all round IT guy. I hate working in a small company where everyone else bar this french girl needs help with their computer whenever firefox needs an update. Steady job... steady job, focus.

Atleast I got the boss (reluctantly) to allow me to try and learn/use asp.net mvc for some new project, rather than clunking on with fucking classic asp.

Back-office-y stuff mostly, some tech support thrown in.

Amusingly around here, the French girl is the one who needs the most help with, well, anything.

At the moment, part-time multimedia contractor (video production, content management, research)

I'm hoping to make it full-time if one or two venues pan out.

I work as a henchman for Pizza the Hutt, making sure certian "clients" get their "packages." Yeah, its a shit job, but it actually pays pretty well, once you add up the tips. The only way I'd do better around here would be to go underground in the coal mines, fuck that noise.

Freelancing 3D Artist. I´ve been working for an ad agency the last couple of months which turned out to be quite some fun. I guess I´ll stay there till the end of the year. If it doesn´t get boring maybe longer.

I am a Maintenance Ranger at Mason Neck State Park in Virginia. Which is a fancy way of saying I'm the guy who cuts the grass and cleans the bathrooms, while also being the fixing-it-if-it-breaks man.

I'll be a practicing EMT (who works for free) as well if I can ever get through all the red tape the county has in place.
