OT : What do you do?

Just wondered what all of you fine people on here do for a living.

I am involved in lumber retail and custom woodworking building windows and doors etc...

Hoffmeyer's Mill

If you are into history and old things other than Porsche cars have a look!

Now, what do you do?

Sure hope your future isn't wrapped up in the HP3000 line... (shop joke here...don't pull my privileges!).

I help document and release Reflection host access software (AS/400 to X Window and everything in between). WRQ Reflection software is built for the IT department and harried system administrators everywhere, God bless them all!!!

umm...ok i'll post (even though you'll all probably make fun of me... )

I'm a professional dancer/choreographer...yup i get paid waaay too much just to dance!

In music, I'm also an artist, writing/producing music as well as a part time college student...with a childhood passion for cars...

I've made most of my savings, though when i had a bussiness, buying and selling RICERS! haha...hey, I wasn't so much into it as I was making the money...I'd grab a Civic..piece a Turbo together from some wrecked Z-car, shave the door handles, paint it some Skittles color, and sell it for 4 times what i had into it! Did a couple of those....(there's a lot to be had in the Honda market...)
