I work the City Sales desk for a door hardware & locksmith supply company. I also am a utility person for a cooking school. "Utility person" is just a P.C. way of saying I am the male equivelent of a scullery maid The dishwashing job is actually my favorite. The cooking school staff is a true team. True gung ho. Everybody pulls together.

If this thread runs a few days more I'll post pix.

High school biology teacher for the past twenty years. Two evenings a week I teach Anatomy and Physiology at the local community college. In the summer I direct a program that maintains the trail system, conducts public hikes, and does search and rescue ops in a nearby wilderness area.

Full-time husband to my lovely, interesting, and ever-patient wife. Time-and-a-half job keeping up with my two teenage sons.

In my free time (hah!) I make wooden arrows for traditional archery, Flemish twist bowstrings, and small leather archery accessories. I'm also the site manager for the local hawk watch site each Fall, where my volunteers and I count migrating raptors.

I'm a full-time mom of two very active children. The pay sucks but the benifits are outstanding.

I also work part time for a Singles-coach/author/columnist. I'm her personal assistant which means I do everything and anything. I maintain web pages, accounting, marketing, customer service, pick up the drycleaning and walk the dog.

Ya like Star Trek do ya?

A bit. I've got sets of various ship blueprints in frames under glass, currently in storage as we don't really have enough wall space here for them.

Certified Criminal Justice Addictions Professional.

You can get addicted to criminal justice?!?!

[Riverkilt]

Crack me up Spike!

Never thought of it like that. Obviously, it means I work with people who are in the criminal justice system for an addiction...booze, drugs, sex, gambling. And the certification is actually for working with the "system" helping the clients navigate probation, parole, the courts...not a legal thing, more how to maintain compliance, finish their time without violating, and get on with their life.
