    Day Job?
    I am a homeless outreach worker in Boston. I enjoy what I do, and it keeps me busy. I help folks with housing, keeping housing, income ect. As well as reaching out to the homeless on the streets of Boston. It doesnt seem like work most of the time, it seems more like being a head with resources. "peace is ONLY idealistic to those who believe it to be so" Peace, Love and Hugs,

    The Dead Beat Beat Of My Working Feet
    I started out wanting and trying to be some kind of an artist. I went to college in the late sixties and...then.. I seem to have misplaced about ten years of my life. I've looked everywhere, even behind the fridge, but still can't find them. I did alot of off beat odd jobs to stay afloat while not trying to get a real job, not knowing, of course that they were real jobs. Reality was never my strong suit. In 1987, I went back to school at UCLA and became a paralegal and I now work in a law office in LA where I act like a paralegal. So far, they seem to beleive me.

Making pasta sheets, then running the sheets through again to cut angel hair, linguiny and fettachini. then cookin it as well as other dishes, chicken parm, veal marsala, 10 oz. strip steaks and so fourth. BUT, the bartender trade beers for food and were entitles to 1 free shift drink, witch usually turns int 3 or 4. All in all its pretty groovy.The name of its called Jimmys and its an italion resteraunt. Think im gonna make a tye-dye shirt with the slogan on it that says"Put some Jimmys in your mouth" or maybe not, might get fired...... Peace- Moye

    Setting up own company
    Is suprisingly coming along better than I had hoped it would. Went this route because was sceptical of finding a regular job. It seems that the idea of offering outsourcing services to game publishers was NOT a stupid idea, in this time of crisis; when everyone seems to be looking for an alternative solution to sell/market their product. Also have two Spanish artists to rep:http://www.metautomata.com/barony/ http://www.metautomata.com/blog/index.html which adds a nice creative touch to the whole package that am offering. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    Sadly I'm Jobless
    Yet, I am a golf professional that loves what I do. Have taught over 2000 lessons and lived here for 9 years (in Chitown) but since I was too excited for the Spring Tour, I served for a really nice restaurant around here (didn't Dylan say, "You've got to serve somebody") And I'm currently gainfully unemployed, oh well, I'll just clean the Mom's place for a awhile and see what comes about. Much Lovin! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Hey everyone in this awesome forum! 👋 I thought I'd introduce myself and share a bit about my day job. I'm a house painter based right here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia! 🇦🇺

I absolutely love what I do – transforming homes both inside and out with a splash of color and a touch of magic. From giving exteriors a fresh new look to adding personality to interiors, it's all about creating spaces that truly feel like home. 🌈🖌️

Currently, I'm part of a fantastic team at "Australian Painting and Maintenance Services Pty. Ltd." 🏢 Our crew is a bunch of skilled painters who take great pride in our work. We're all about delivering top-notch results, using high-quality materials to make sure our clients' visions come to life! 💪

If you're curious about our work or just love to see some impressive before-and-after shots, you can check out our website at australianpainting.com.au. We're always excited to showcase our projects and inspire others with our passion for painting! 🎉
Oh, and before I wrap up, I have to mention that besides my passion for house painting, I'm an avid Grateful Dead fan too! 🌹🎶 Their music has been the soundtrack to many of my painting sessions, creating a groovy and inspiring atmosphere. Some of my all-time favorite Grateful Dead songs are "Ripple," "Sugar Magnolia," and "Touch of Grey" - they never fail to lift my spirits! 🎵✨

Speaking of Australia, the Grateful Dead did have a memorable live show here! 🇦🇺🎤 In 1981, they graced the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, which was broadcasted live on the radio, reaching Deadheads worldwide, including us fans in Australia. Although they never performed a live show down under, their music and influence have certainly traveled far and wide, touching the hearts of many grateful fans across the globe. 🌏🌈 Keep on truckin', fellow Deadheads! 🚚💀🌹

So I just started my post-retirement gig with Trader Joe's
I love this place! The people, the employees, the food... all good!
If you have not been to a Trader Joe's in your area, go check it out and tell me what you think. Either way, I feel good about myself helping people find and prepare quality foods they'll enjoy at a reasonable price.

Engineering. First five years out of college was civil/construction in Eugene, OR. Since 1997 it's been software/internet/web in Boulder, CO. What a long strange trip it's been.
