LixyChick 11-08-2004 05:52 AM

I'm the lead singer in a well known R&R band...(and then I woke up!)

OK...I am a seamstress, and have sewn everything from tuxedos to stage curtains to Saudia Arabian army shirts. I am currently (past 7-8 years or so) making prototype furniture (sofa, settee, chair), mostly for offices...but some are for personal use. I helped design and sew the seating for the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and just recently made seating for a palace somewhere in India. Get this...there were leather pieces in the collection!!???? Aren't cows "sacred" in India? Yeah...I thought so too! LOL! *shrug*

Mr. Lixy is an explosives engineer. They drill holes, pack um with powder and blow up rock. He finds many crystals, arrowheads, and on occasion they have had to shut down the site because they find dinosaur bones. Pretty interesting stuff, actually.

Summer 11-08-2004 06:58 AM

I am a volunteer(non-paid position) working with 8 kindergarten classes with aprox. 21 kids in each class. Oh yeah you want the money part. I am an eBayer and have been since 1999! I am also into the auction buisness side of things.

Mr. Summer does carpentry things. Since the three hurricanes came through he is always working now. He is also in the auction stuff with me.

And when times get extra tight we sell sell sell. I have even been known to sell the couch right from under us. ;) When my children don't clean their rooms I say "You might want to put things away or take them to my office for me to sell them!" LOL my son quickly grabs the items and puts them away. My daughter says to me to sell it all. Geez my kids!

I manage commercial and industrial real estate for third party owners. I've been involved with real estate for 12 years now, but I used to run the office for a company that manufactured and distributed preportioned food for weight loss clinics.

Mrs. WI is in the Educational Transportation field. :D

Both myself and Mrs Big Tone are Private Detectives, no the job is not as good as portrayed on the screens of the world.

I am a shift-working airfreight clerk.

I get jet-lagged without needing to ride in the buggers.

My bachelor's degree is in public relations, but...

until I can get my foot farther in the door, I am currently working a seasonal order processor job at a premiere doll company based here in WI.

I'm a legal secretary/assistant/Girl Friday in a one-attorney operation that my boss opened in September. Before that, we were both employed by the same law firm, me for almost five years and her for almost six. Now, I'm the only one with a guaranteed paycheck, but we both benefitted with a more relaxed atmosphere, albeit with more responsibility.

Kleclere does his computer thing. :) Because we don't live in an overly-populous area, he drives about 45 each way every day to be the number one, long-term temporary employee at a computer help desk for Monsanto, the seed company. We're hoping something permanent comes this way soon.

Aqua 11-08-2004 01:42 PM

I am the IT dept for an international wholesale company. (That is, when I am not adding color to photo's of Lilith... :p )

My SO is an accountant for a major worldwide corporate/franchise operation.

Slap one on me too! :D I still have my medical lab technician certification, though I haven't done that sort of work in a while. I was a pretty good blood-sucker in my day. I mostly did the testing part though. I was the technical supervisor for a microbiology reference lab, specializing in parasitology. Yummy! :rolleyes:

I also used to work on helicopter avionics, been in law enforcement and been a soldier (along with the typical hair-net and name tag jobs). LOL

But since I just moved, I'm still looking for a job. In the meantime, I'm trying to get things fixed up here around the house. :)

Scarecrow 11-08-2004 05:41 PM

Day time custodian/maintenance for the local grade school(ech to 4thgrade). One minute I'll be fixing a pipe and the next minute cleaning up after a sick child :fish:


Oh the fun of it all. :rolleyes:
