What do you do for a living?

Firefighter/Paramedic for 9 years professionally, for a DC-metro county of about 1,000,000 people.

 

Property/casualty underwriter!

 

Corporate and transactional attorney - I help companies get up and running, help them sell stock, acquire other companies, do random business deals, etc. I also do trademark work, financial modeling and intellectual property licensing. It's fun because my clients are generally pretty amazing entrepreneurs and the goal is to get deals done quickly in a mutually beneficial manner. It's not to argue, stall, obfuscate, etc - like what you would expect based on lawyer tv shows. Too much stress though . . so things like woodworking and beer are nice obsessions to have to keep me balanced.

 

right now, i spend all day hating this economy at home
