the only manual work i do is....writing manuals. hah!

not funny, i know. i did roofing for a couple days and that
shit was too hard, too hot, to many crushed fingers for the
pay.

i really respect someone that is actually physically working
versus sitting at a desk and typing and wasting time like i
do. plus you'll be in better shape. hehe.

I supervise a team of psuedopolice for a non-profit
organization. The pay is OK, but not nearly enough for what
I am expected to ask people to do. I hope to finish getting
a decent ammount of experience as a supervisor so I can do a
job that doesn't involve me risking my life every day so
that people can feel more comfortable buying a soda at seven
eleven.

Just for the record, I have no interest in policing or
security. But I like talking to people, and hate being stuck
in an office.

Works with mentally disabled. Today I sent them to work at
8.15, and they won't be back until about 14. That means that
most of this day, I'm working here at Xltronic:)
My work is ok, but not very challenging. I will try to get
something else when I finish my Master.

i'm redoing my resume/portfolio at the moment (I only
graduated in december), I need it completed by the 3rd
though as I have a job interview. I'm looking for some kind
of inhouse designer job for the time being, but I have
somewhat lost faith in the design industry and would much
prefer to be playing with ducks in my backyard.

glorified term for someone who types shite into computewrs

it was probably me who set up your account
