Hangin at Execution dock awaits. May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!
As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words:

"My treasure to he who can understand."

Photogrammetry technician, which means I make topographical maps using aerial photography. I don't get to go up in the planes, but this gets pretty close sometimes. Unfortunately, most of the stuff I map are very boring, like highways, ditches and parking lots. But the scenery is always changing!

Professional storyteller - bard - raconteur here. I travel all over NC and beyond sharing folktales (including a wicked Blackbeard story) mainly with elementary students, although occasionally am lucky enough to tell to adults.

I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map.

I'm an Art Director. Thinkin about becoming a boarder patrol agent though. I like this job, cause it deals with art, but it lacks the excitement of my previous career.

Don't give up art for a Border Patrol agent. Besides if you went this route, you'd never be available for events and such, as we'd never see you again. The hours suck and the work isn't easy.

I remember when you were looking for a job that had art involved. Stay with it, it will bring out your creativity much more and the chance of being involved with your friends and events on weekends is much more fun, isn't it?

I'm a sort of freelance historian.

I write magazine articles and books (got me history of pirate flags coming out this year :lol: )

I do interpretation work in various museums and historic sites, and I work occasionally with museums on their artefacts. Was a museum/ship curator for three years.

I do education work, sometimes in schools but mostly through museums and historic sites.

I work as an advisor for TV sometimes (dunno if anything I've worked on gets shown in the States - did you guys get a series called "Battlefield Britain"?)

I've had some really crappy jobs in the past, and some better paid ones than what I'm earning now, but I'm not starving and I love my work.

I have a mate who does education work, particularly science, but he uses history as a way of teaching stuff. The reason I mention him is because he does blow stuff up to teach physics.

Work 'officially' in electronics, amusement industry for the last 17 years but drifting into pyrotechnics and electro-mechanical, ie. animatronics.

Hoping to get mainly into special effects for the film industry.

Not trying to be 'high' on myself, but I can do almost anything technical I set my mind to but get bored really quick... need something exciting and constantly changing to keep me interested.

Somehow bilge rat seems a bit more comforting for the moment... amazing how loyal rats can be to one another.... I suddenly got a mental image of a bunny with her crack up... er, cracked up bunny I meant to say... yessssss, that's it!

Must choose yer words wisely to avoid uneccessary misunderstandings eh?
