Thread: What's your job

Lol! I think we all know of that bank by now XD

I do lots of things. My wife and I have a couple small businesses - a very small machine shop that does prototype, aerospace and robotics details and some assembly work being the most active of those right now. I also work in collaboration with one of our best customers, which provides a sort of "day job" for me while allowing the freedom to do our own stuff. That job utilizes my mechanical engineering degree and involves a lot of IT and networking, as well as letting me get my hand into sales, administration and direct interaction with customers.

Music is my avocation. What little spare time I have that isn't claimed by family and friends is spent playing, learning, writing and composing, jamming. I am involved in a band, a jazz collective, do some live sound engineering and enjoy occasional collaborations.

I call myself a FreeLancer. I have, like MrDirtyHarry taken jobs and worked in undergrounds polluted by junk and shit. I have, however quit the dirty job in undergrounds and the like. I don't feel any economically downside effect, since the time-paying PR hour was the lowest I have ever had.

Things have changed, and my working field has changed for the better. I am currently unemployed, although that's only until January. Then I will be back at work. Not to "MrDirtyHarry's" work, but to transport books for local libraries.

Also, I'm trying to get in the buisnessfield by writing. I want to become an respected journalist and also a writer of a spaghetti Western Serie. In my Western Serie, there is plenty of humor. (Although hippies and other liberal people don't get the point's.) On a Side Note,-- I couldn't care less. There is a saying-- propably most common by the Latterdays-- and that's if it's good enough for the business,-- it's good enough for the guisness!

My native language is Norwegian, by the way.
And, I hope that I will be one of "the leading guys" when Guisiness Records 2012 is in print. 2012 might be the end of the Maya- calendar, but paradoxically,-- it might lead to a new era. And that era might be wonderful if the Republican fore-runner Mitt Romney wins the President Election. The only downside with the good fella Mitt Romney is that he's one of the Latterdays. But I don't think Mitt Romney himself have performed what I call "Active Polygamy".
And might God Bless the New Era; including the Latterday's of the Jesus Christ Church.

(If anyone wonders wich direction in Christianity is the crowd I'm in, send me a PM and I will consedering answering your question(s))

Okay sorry the end of the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar is December 21st, 2012

Better? Or am I still wrong?

It doesn't matter, Buddy! It's alrighty... either way.

Since when is the Mayan calendar still in style?

Since the announcement of the new X-Files movie (2008)

I'm a part-time teacher at a university, teaching 3D design & animation.
And in my own time I'm working on a 3D animated short film.
(and have been for two years)

Oh cool. So stable is your employment at the moment?Surely if they don't accept this offer from Virgin then the bank is going to go bust, your job gone with it?( though i assume some kind of compensation package?).

Is it all as bad as the media is saying?
