PERKEO!!! Ye live! Been a while since last heard from ye.

Well... I currently am a part-time (barely any hours) On-Air Announcer at a local radio station (KCII in Washington, Iowa). And when I'm not working at the radio station (which is a God-send), I'm a round-the-clock SLAVE to my family. If ye all think I be kiddin'... I'm not.

Currently, job hunting for a 2nd and 3rd job. Not going so well, of course.

Getting "The Captain's Share" up and going is currently on the backburner.

Reenacting is currently in hiatus until several things happen (better job or jobs, vehicle, away from family... far, FAR away, better health, etc).

Cool! Wayland is doing what many of the people on this board would like to be doing.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

I am a historic interpreter/educator for the state parks of south carolina. More specifically I am the program specialist for the ADVENTURE, which is a reproduction of a 17th century coastal trading vessel. So I get to wear the funny clothes every day that I am at work.

yours & co

In my Reale Lyfe situation, I am a guardian and preserver of knowledge, wisdom, and learning. All of which simply means...I'm a librarian. And you know what they say about librarians...we are underpaid, oversexed, and stacked. Altho being of the masculine persuasion, we can rule out the "stacked" bit in my case. We can also rule out the "Guardian of Wisdom" when it comes to stocking Danielle Steel and such like titles. But thats what I do.

Damn, thats sharp!

:unsure: sorry t' hear that, QM James.

At this rate, we all may as well establish our own town. A colonial one that is (with some good aminities, if ye know what I mean) and create the jobs!

2 days a week, i work with all the major class III and IV narcotics, opiates, paralytics,anti anxiety meds.I use them to my advantage,,,, i mean to releive folks' pain. I analyse emesis,sputum and stool samples and objects/things we cut out of people that they no longer need,want or dont work any more,dont belong there, or had no idea they would get stuck inside of them. i insist that you keep breathing even though you just received enough dope to take you near deaths doorstep. i analyze electrical patterns of your hearts, and watch that they dont stop....( i dont think there is ANY possible way to class up what i do for pay!!! RN}

the other 7 days a week, i observe 9 children and ensure that they become fine human specimens with morals and integrity and intelligence.

you people are amazing!!!

and fabulously interesting!!!

I might have posted this hear before.... But I well imagine I have changed jobs a few times since I last posted...

But I am a "Network Administrator" for a small company (in an industry I am too embarrassed to admit to). While "Network Administrator" is my official title (it's on my business card anyways), I am often referred to as the "IT Manager" (just wish I had the salary that went with that title). :unsure:

In short, I am the first, last and only level of technical support for a small call centre/company of about 60 to 70 employees.

I envy you not, Michael. I was support for one program (with multiple variations) for about 60 people and that was a job that could really stress you out at times. (Particularly certain of the 60 people, especially when they of that group all had (or, worse, all thought they had) problems at the same time.)

At a former company I worked for (where there were about 5 or 6 techs), we re-named the term "user error" to "loser error"... :blink: ... I no longer have fellow techs to share that snide thought with (and I think it even though I do like most of my co-workers), but the thought can still bring a smile to my face when things get hectic around the office.

I haven't heard or seen that one before (for a techie, I am soooo far behind on texting lingo)... I may just use that one... I can hear it now, "Well you see <input user name here>, that is a Eye Dee Ten-Tee error!" :blink:

I make plenty of those... 17433.gif

Hey my partner in crime Boats, was a submariner when he was in the Navy and called himself a pirate even then.

So the Navy can be proud that it's former and current personnel just love to go out and find their way to pirate groups. :lol:
