Cellar Dwellars Occupations
 
Forgive me if this has been done already. I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

Since I'm sort of new, I thought it would be interesting to find out what a lot of Dwellars do for a living. If you are a professional assassin, government operative or foreign spy and prefer not to answer, you can always say RNA (Rather Not Answer).

I'll start it off. My name is Dave and I work as an assistant administrator for a law firm. I do their IT and a hundred other things.

I am case and I am a slacker. I don't work, but I paint when I feel like it or when I have a commission to complete, or when I am not moving around the state. :)

I am actually considering getting a job, though. But it is so much fun to tell people I am a slacker.

P.S. I believe you BrianR. For some reason I didn't even question wolf's reply...not even for a second.

I work in the FA racket in higher ed.

I spend the bulk of my time wondering why my computer is such a piece of crap, and why the droopy systems people can't make the system work for us. :lol:

lookout123 01-21-2009 01:42 PM

every high maintenance chick in the worlds claims to be low maintenance. ;)

Shawnee123 01-21-2009 01:43 PM

I knew someone would say that.

Meet the exception to everything you boys think you know about women.

Seriously.

Good for you! Some people just seem to be born to cause aggravation for other people, in whatever arena... others, not.

When I made my first move up at my old job, the IT guy assigned to the federal stuff was so relieved...the person before me was a moron, and liked the boys' attention.

I still party with my IT buddies from my old job. In fact, I went to their Christmas party this year.

YMMV... in my experience women who like the boys' attention don't really, if the boys in question are from IT.

As a wife & mom, it might be simpler to list what I don't do. :)

As far as the rest of it, I'm a full-time student and freelance copywriter.

That's copyWriter, not copyRighter. People get that mixed up. Even people who really should know better, like English professors.

Here you get taxed according to what you earn, not what you do. [and I earn diddly squat, it's official!]

Stormieweather 01-21-2009 05:39 PM

Commercial real estate accountant - I handle the accounting for office buildings, shopping centers, industrial complexes, and the occasional marina or other commercial enterprise. I have a private client (very solid financially) and am also employed by a commercial management firm. We're doing ok, those office buildings and shopping centers are still there...and still need to be managed...even if it's just a court-ordered receivership.

In my spare time, I'm a mom, spouse, spell-casting elf, advocate for the abused, and hobbyist.

Cicero 01-21-2009 05:47 PM

Here if you contract as a project admin. You have to overcharge to earn a wage...

Contractors are heavily taxed.......

Freelance sound designer and voiceactor, mostly narration for several e-learning companies. I record in the master bedroom closet after the kids go to bed. During waking hours I'm the one in charge of keeping them alive.

I am an office manager for a construction specialty company (don't laugh), an employee of a mega corporation to whom I am an entry on a balance sheet. I occasionally earn more money playing music than I spend buying stuff to play music with/through. In my spare time I work with a couple of alternative spirituality not for profits and have a coven out of my home.

Oh...and I'm a man whore.

capnhowdy 01-21-2009 06:19 PM

A retired faux artist. Now a "gentlemans gentleman" for a couple with five kids, who are both Doctors. One a surgeon, his wife an MD. I hang around their home all day and then in the evening I come back to poverty. Kinda like living a double life.

Daytime = Family, wholesome, Christian entertainment.

Night = Sticky, dirty, nasty, entertainment.

I'm hoping one day to be the DJ in a strip club. ;)

ZenGum 01-21-2009 07:16 PM

I am paid to subvert and undermine the hegemony of one-party rule in Communist China, by means of teaching critical thinking to international (mostly Chinese) students who want to attend university here. I spend most of my time trying to beat some grasp of English grammar into them, though. I am also overthrowing several governments in South-east Asia, and starting next week, the Arabian Peninsula.
