What do you do?

[Tim D]

A post by Michaelbourke in another thread inspired this one. Fill us in on what you do? ie. do you work? and if so, doing what exactly? Or are you studying? Or do you spend your days at the beach? Or do you live off a trust fund? (Damn you if you do!)

[pinkyboisyd]

The trust fund dried up 3 years ago *crys* .....

Now i currently manage a revenue channel for a software company.....

My job includes: reporting, sales, marketing...and some customer facing stuff.....

I am trained tho as a Master of Ceremonies and have certificates from onscreen camera courses and Acting colleages....

Sighall that talent wasted....

I worked for an health insurance company for 16 years where i was a General Insurance accounts officer for the last 5 or 6 years before the business unit (General Isurance) being sold to another company and started with the new company today.

I intend to return to study later this year.

I'm the Advertising Account Manager for Same Same.. love it! Our daily chair swivel gossip meetings, between Christian the editor, and Tim in marketing are certainly a highlight!

[Cheetah77]

You must have read my mind Tim - I was thinking about this very thing this morning!

I work for a large insurance company (Life and General) and have managed the Quality Assurance program for the last 3 yrs but am currently seconded to a number of projects across the business... yay! I like new toys...

I am the Operator at an an oil trading house. I work in a team of 12 Operators world wide who control all the movement/storage and buy/release of product. The traders do all the talking but we basically write and manage the contracts (the traders are like used car sales men and will do anything for a buck its our job to keep them on the straight and narrow).

I like this thread. It's fascinating to hear what people do in the real world.

Wow, quite a talented bunch. Not a police officer, American Indian chief, construction worker, member of the military, a leatherman or a cowboy in sight!

Sorry could not resist :)

I'm the marketing director at Sound Alliance which is the parent company of SameSame. I work some of my time on SS but also on our other websites inthemix and FasterLouder as well as our creative agency called Thought By Them which I really enjoy.

[ap_bcd]

I'm a freelance photographer, occasional contributor and daily reader of SameSame.

After 15 years in Corporate (think banking, Telecommunications and superannuation) I'm now looking to get into the Not For Profit sector. I'll still be a Personal Assistant but at least I'll get my soul back - I hope

[libby]

I'm part of the posse at SS-HQ and look after the editorial and admin teams of SS as well as FasterLouder and inthemix. Producing great content and keeping the day-to-day operations of the sites running smoothly are our main goals - then when we have a spare minute we try to work out what else we can add, change, play with... never a dull moment.

Thanks Libby - I am actually a huge Muppet collector having over 400 pieces including some rare pre production models.

Beaker is definitely my favourite and just to prove you can't have enough of him here is some more...

I will ignore the fact that a 'masseuse' is female and 'masseur' is male and still ask you if I can make an appointment, anyway. Do you offer hand relief? :) [I type a lot and my fingers could do with a good rub...]

Being a self-confessed geek is one thing, (see wikipedia - geek - def 3)

Facts are not in the eye of the beholder, seek references people!!
