I also manage something

I also manage something unruly. I teach high school English. I've done a little academic Dead-related work. I have essays in Robert Weiner's "Perspectives on the Grateful Dead" and Nicholas Merriwether's "Dead Letters."

I pick up a little extra money now & again as a semi-professional tie-dye artist. In fact, if anyone will be in Wisconsin this summer, I'm teaching a one week class in it.

I teach the World

...English as a Second Language, and I've been doing it for about 12 years now. Nice opportunity to travel, learn about Humanity, and gain some fresh perspective on America. Now I'm teaching English to immigrants' children at an elementary school in northern Virginia.

Hackster will be hearing from me, I bet, as I slog it out with the ACOE for S 404/10 permitting... do you do in-water work, hackster?

Not sure what I do, but it sounds impressive!

I work as the Transportation Manager of the Americas for Air France Industries (the MRO division of Air France). Now. . . if I only knew what that meant.

404 permits

On June 6th, 2007 hackster said:

404's?

OH YEAH.

mainly for mining/industrial projects.

we usually do the engineering side of whatever is required, and sub out the biological info for the Environmental Impact Determinations to some local scientific labs who do that part of it.

i guess for your thing there in san diego though, you're more into the navigable waters part of the 404?

My Job

I'm in worker's compensation and just quit my job after almost 22 years. I will be starting with a new company later this month and to say I'm scared is an under statement! I just couldn't take my benefits being screwed with anymore.

I teach six-year olds at a private school in New York. They're good kids, but you do have to tell them what's what. I love the job. I also call myself an amateur professional musician, by which I mean that I can hold a groove, I know the Jazz standards and I play two or three times a week around the city, but I'm keeping my day job. Why? Because that way I'm sure I can pay the rent. Playing music in New York City is uncertain and thankless and you're never sure who'll play or who'll pay.
Anyone want a band?
