Yes more or less. I also wash cars, sweep porches, unclog heads, etc.
20,000 sq ft house. 6 cars, 6 Motorcycles, 2boats and a golf cart. But i DO NOT wear a tie.

That's awesome. Sounds mostly fun.

Do you wear anything?

UNCLOG HEADS :eek:

I am available to return to my former life if you ever need a hand.

You work for TheMercenary, don't you?

I play keyboards, mostly in the studio, sometimes live and on tour.

I am also a professor at a local university, teaching in their Commercial Music program. I teach courses in Studio Recording, Music Technology, and Music Ethics.

Recently, I've been moving more toward writing legit music, what you might call 'art' music (music without any commercial value). String quartets, large choral works, etc. Within the next 20 years, I'd like to transition out of doing commercial music, and replace that income by working as a composer.

Will you write an Opus for the Cellar?

Scale tech

:lol: my methods are a little different.

I work full time at a bank. Not super high in the chain of command... but not super low either. I'm just a step below the assistant manager at my branch. I would classify myself as a supervisor. Wheee!

Cellar Dwellars Occupations
 

Fire Code Official, Inspection Supervisor, and I now drive a large desk.

I'm a bookkeeper for an apartment complex.

Damn the torpedos. Full speed ahead footfootfoot! :thumb:

-University student in the last semester of my B.S of English Education.
-Student-teacher at a local high school. I started on the 12th and then promptly ended up out of commission for two weeks due to health complications, so I can't say too much about this just yet.

Hope you're feeling better, Choco. I know you had a rough couple of days there.

I would like to personally offer my thanks for your choosing to run the wrong way.

Much better, Pie, thanks. I envy those people who are somehow back on their feet two days after surgery! After a week of rest, I am feeling mostly back to normal and will be heading back into the fray on Monday.

Don't envy us, We are too stupid to stay away for that long.

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I work for a Mechanical Contractor (small business & union, so most of our work is for the government). In October our 3 stockholders were bought out and now instead of doing just my job, I'm doing two others as well. Not complaining, though. It's me & one guy in the office. He does the estimating and goes to the job sites - I do everything else.

Fred Garvin, male prostitute.

But for tax purposes, I claim that I work for the Make A Wish FOundation. :-)

The job I've gotten paid to do since 2001 is officially titled: "Research Assistant II - Natural/Health Science" for a Big 10 University in the Hawkeye State.

The University says my BASIC FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES are:

Conduct experimental laboratory research work, including testing and evaluating current procedures; and assist in validating the experimental test data obtained.

And my CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES are:

Perform research on specified topics, including researching current literature for methods and trends and subsequent evaluation of those methods.
Write research progress reports, including summarizing test results of participating investigators, and assist in the preparation of papers for publication.
Execute designated experiments, including the procurement of space, supplies and related equipment.
Prepare graphs and other illustrations to facilitate the interpretation of research findings.
Maintain knowledge of scientific and health care trends through reading, conferences and seminars.
Translate and interpret data and assist in the planning of data presentations.
Assist in the design and implementation of computer program development, including establishing coding formats for future scientific research data collection.
Assist in validating the data obtained from experimental procedures and recommend additional tests and/or modifications.
Instruct students and others in methods and instrument operation.
Respond to requests for technical information from various public and private agencies.
Maintain effective working relationships with faculty, staff, students and the public.

But it turns out after reading the BASIC FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of an RAIII:

Participate in the design, execution and control of a laboratory project or research study. Coordinate the processing and analysis of data and conduct experimental tests and procedures. Develop new and/or revised research methodologies

as well as CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES of an RAIII:

Perform critical analysis of literature relevant to research undertaken.
Assist in the preparation of research papers and manuscripts for publication and presentation at conferences and workshops, and in the writing of project reports, articles and other documents.
Coordinate experimental tests and plan the processing and analysis of research data obtained
Conduct or participate in staff conferences related to the progress of projects.
Assist in the design and implementation of complex data processing systems to code research data and prepare comprehensive reports on systems studies.
Assist in the establishment of test controls, criteria and research standards.
Design and oversee the construction of necessary equipment.
Develop and test experimental designs, sampling techniques and analytical methods and make recommendations for their utilization.
Organize data search and analysis procedures.
Participate in the development of general goals for the research project and in the planning of the field work, graduate students and other support staff.
Serve as a consultant to the project director, faculty and staff.
Organize data for the preparation of proposals for new funding.
Maintain effective working relationships with faculty, staff, students and the public.

that I am doing more things that fall under an RAIII position. Looks I need to ask for a reclassification this year :D.

Oh yeah, I also run the mouse colony for the labs I work in too.

My unpaid titles fall under Mom, Wife, and tryathlete.

tryathlete? Is that when you try to be an athlete?

What if a sick dying teenager's last wish is to do 2 girls at once? Do you guys hook him up?

Someone would definately be under the radar, eh?

You've left out the part about being hot. Being hot is a tough job, but someone has to do it!

OMG...this omission is epidemic! Jinx, Clod, Labrat and many others have left this off of their Cellar resume.

Zippy...can you take care of this? :D

Do you like hot Chocolatl?

Well, duh.

She's also real smart besides being smokin' hot, which makes her pretty much irresistable to me.

I usually just give them an extra dose of pain killers and then a hand job.

:rotflol:

Multi-talented, I'm a distinguisher (one who helps the new president distinguish between his thoughts and the thoughts of those who tell him what to say), a chair holder (one who holds chairs down) and a pocket integrity maintainer (one who keeps pants and coat pockets from turning inside out)

Damn. Good to see you back in the Cellar, Cane.

Healthcare IT (computer guy)
 

For about a decade after school, I got by doing on again/off again construction and local drumming gigs.

Seven years ago I took a “normal” job as a file clerk in a hospital. That year, they implemented a PACS (computer system) to replace the film library. I immediately read all the documentation I could get my hands on and started establishing myself as a goto person for PACs help. Flash forward several years and I was the PACS Administrator, and had tripled my salary (my wife coached me on harassing mgmt for compensation).

Late last year, after being unable to get industry standard compensation for what I was doing (and with recruiters ringing my phone off the hook) I used The Cellar as a resource to coach me through a job search. I found a position at a start-up hospital, where I am one third of a three-man IT department that handles literally everything--doing three times the work in half the time.

I am very happy to have found something I can do to provide for my wife and two small children.

Hard to make a living in the music buisiness at the club level aint it, Flint. I tried it for years. Hard.... but fun.

What were you playing Capn?

I was the front man in a bar band locally. I play guotar, keys and clarinet. None that well. But I've been singing since I started in a gospel quartet at age 7. Now about all I do is play acoustic(strum chords) and sing classic country and some older rock at parties and around the fire.There were 4 other guys in our group. Name: Blue Collar Band. (We all had day jobs). I was never good enough on the 6 stringer for the guys to let me play except on a couple of solo #s I'd do when someone popped a string or something. After the band broke up I played solo with just me and a flattop and a small pa fora while... I had to really sing well to keep the crowds mind off my guitar licks. I can still remember and perform around 70 songs, mostly from the 70's era. I miss being young. Young enough to actually believe us guys would be big one day. I also love to satire. I'll post one of my parodies on the lyrics with meaning thread soon.

I'm a professional lay about. Yay, economic crisis! (Seriously, don't get me started, I can bitch on this topic for months) Its all cool though. Come the ensuing societal collapse and Mad Max future that inevitably awaits us all, I'll be a warlord. Motorbikes, lead and looting will be our primary exports.

Occupation? Isn't that something invading armies do?

My job is...nothing, currently. I am a lay about, more by circumstance than choice. I just chose the worst time in the last 70 years to graduate with a degree that doesn't necessarily guarantee employment and, in case you missed it, the economy sucks just ever so slightly at the moment.

I'm looking to do postgrad studies, but because I am neither rich, nor an idiot, I'm looking for courses which pay a stipend or come with a scholarship. Since I'm sure as fuck not gonna get a job around here.

Good luck to you... and welcome

Thanks. We'll see how it goes with applications. I've got a couple of good research proposals worked out, I just need to get them down on paper properly...

work for Interpol
tho my cover job is a janitor

So you are a clean up guy for the international police? that would be interesting. :D

Why have a cover job that is more significant than the real one?

If I told you who I work for you would all hate me :headshake
