A unemployed college bum.

Sounds like you have lots of experience in the day to day grind of the work-a-day world, footsie and I'm sure some good jobs and some not so good but it makes this life interesting

At the moment I am Unemployed, on SSD for the time being. Getting paid to go to school at ITT - Tech. Learning Web Development. Actually expanding my knowledge you could say plus getting the nice piece of paper saying that I know what I'm talking about. Going to go for my A+ Cert soon.

Used to be at the Sheetz Help Desk. Fixing computers, taking customer complaints, helping the stores in any way possible, etc.

I think that's all. O' I sit in front of the computer basically all day you could say.

#98 by Admin Jafo - 11/10/2003 11:12:30 PM Self-employed building designer [Architect].....in my spare time......but mostly I help administer a website you 'may' be familiar with... When doing neither, I mess with computers [where 'mess' is the operative word]...by making life complicated for myself.... Now if only GP Officialling was a 'paid job' I'd probably just do that, and to heck with Councils, clients, and Planning Regulations and recalcitrant Objectors....

Retired (great occupation) to a sub-tropical Island off the east coast of Oz. Play competition golf on a wonderful sand belt course (3 times a week). Religiously read the WC message board, download skins and things (Really enjoy Wincustomise). Paddle with the Dolphins. My small dog takes me for bush walks. My wife paints-(Watercolours). Forgot to mention - On the golf course we have Roos, Dingos, Ducks, lizards, Snakes. The visiting Pro's call it the Barnyard. However living just up the track is Keith Irwin (Crocodile Man) at his Australia Zoo. Life is pretty good, touch wood.

Ande! you got my life and I must have yours, GIVE IT BACK !!!

sounds wonderful to me

I design interior components for the auto industry, mostly dashboard and doorpanel items. The work I do is pure eyecandy, styling the visible surfaces. Guess you could say I'm a car skinner. This is my second career - my first was in the Army as an interrogator and psychological operations specialist (propaganda not medical ).

Jafo, you say you are an acchitect, Do you have any idea about how hight the quality of a 3d 'movie' has to be to sell it to clients?
We were lately working on a small movie showing a building (did it for a client) And I was wondering if you could have a look at it to get a professional oppinion.

Restaurant management, used to be IT for three of four years, and before that restaurant management for 12 or 13 more. Framed houses, landscaping, stocked groceries, photographers assistant for several years, worked in a car wash for awhile, apartment maintenance, groundskeeper. Quite a bit of work outside in my teens and 20's, but the older I get, I discover that it is actually colder in the winter and hotter in the summer, and when it rains everything just sucks.

Been alotta fun and sometimes alotta grief cargor...now things have become somewhat 'blah' I sure do miss being young and invincible lol Ah the things I've seen though!! Wouldn't trade it for the world! You know...from what I'm reading here, there's alot of interesting people doing really amazing things! Even the most menial of duties is as important as the illustrious ones when you look at the big picture! Part of me wishes I had pursued a straighter line in life but the other part of me wants to go out and go nuts all over

I write comics for a living. I and thre other guys have a small firm the makes cartoons and comic strips for organizations and magazins. My contribution is mainly the scripts. We also have a book club for comics in book or magazinform. I make the presentations of the comics.

I also write manuscripts of my own, comics I have invented myself or old comics such as the Swedish version of the Phantom. So you understand that the computer is important for me. All my work I do on the computer.

hmmmm I thought I posted here...

I'm unemployed hoping to be self employed or working in a few months.

I am still waiting for a security job that said they want me.



My goal is to be a IT officer in a firm Architecture or otherwise related, or just in a firm who need an IT guy.

If that doesn't pine out, I was thinking about operations officer manager, or technology officer...

I am really hoping I can combine architecture, information technology, and management to work in a Arch/Construction firm


I like marketing to and anything design related.

System Analyst
operations management
Arch/construction/commercial design.


It all related trust me...

that is where i work as a housekepper.

Kona, that's a nice hotel.

it is nice ntil you have to clean the rooms!

we have different colored bedspeads and bigger tv's but here is a shot of one of the rooms:

Kona, I hear you when you say until you clean the rooms! In between insulating jobs, I worked at a 50 room(most likely small in comparison to Best Western)motel as a chamber maid and man, did I find out......it is hard, backbreaking work!!

I worked at a 50 room(most likely small in comparison to Best Western)motel as a chamber maid and man, did I find out......it is hard, backbreaking work!!

we only have 55 rooms. out of those, 1 is a HUGE suite, 2 are little smaller suites, and 5 are double king bed rooms. the rest are double queen rooms or single king rooms.

Back breaking work is a understatement. Making those beds hurts. the bedspreads easyly weigh 20 pounds. I usually can clean a room in 30 minutes.

Don't normally take part in online surveys

Boy was we glad to hear that Stumpy.

When I worked at the Kings motel this past summer, we had a lot of oil rig crews staying there, some rooms were a little cleaner than others. The standard time is 30 minutes to clean each room but some of the riggers'rooms almost took an hour to do. It's very hard work and they only paid you once a month, for 7.00 per hour!

Having spent 20 years in corporate sales management(traveling North America for a fortune 100 corporation) I realized there was more to life, and have developed a 16 year part time fishing charter business to full time. I've temporarily cut back on saltwater fishing tournments this fall to try and set a new world record for Grouper on a Fly Rod.
Click on my name to see where fishing dreams come true.

One of my best friends growing up did that for a while at the Cheyenne Social Club in the late 70's. I worked in the resturant busing tables, washing dishesand he cleaned rooms and would deliver room service when needed.

Anyway, I never paid much attention to who was playing the club and did not think anything of it when he
called down to the resturant and said he needed help with a huge order. When he got there he was all smiles and had glowing red eyes. We head up to the main suite and he knocks on the door with his foot, there is kinda loud music coming through the door. Swoosh it opens and this hairy guy with even brighter red eyes is standing their and yeling over his shoulder "Munchies!" turns back and says come on it

Damn room was smoked out, beer all over the place, bottles of Jim Beam and other things like Gin, bunch of wiped out guys, girls, some half dressed all laying about or playing cards and what have you. In we go and BOOM the door slambs behind us. Rick is putting food down on a table knocking beer cans over and I am standing there and something smoking at one end is stuck in my face right in front of my mouth "Hit" and then we just kind of didn't go back to work. Hell I don't remember how or when I got home either. We also didn't have jobs after that night. Seems the front desk, front/resturant manager and kitchen manager all called up looking for us and someone told them " I dunno where they are, they left hours ago? "

The band is one some might have heard of Iron Butterfly

I think that was one of the wildest nights, though only one of them, I had growing up.

Then it was back to construction for me, older brothers are a serious pain when they demand you are going to work...

I work in the IT Dept. of Goucher College. I run the help desk and do some teaching and also computer repair. I was ordained a minister in June 2003 and am looking for a church to preach the gospel in. when I get one my IT days are over. But not the use of IT. I enjoy my computer very much, it's an indespensable tool and gameing machine. Roger

I do something here are Stardock.  Not sure what, but it's fun.

In my spare time I do photography (which is what I went to school for)

The band is one some might have heard of Iron Butterfly

It was the first hard rock band. They startade before Led Zeppelin...
