What do you do for a living?

[Brewdouche-RuBrew]

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

Just kidding. I am a stamp collector.

Dude!!! I must have this. Is it an oiginal stream of insanity or did you just rip it off. May I use it for something cool?

 

[QuixoticDevice]

I'm an Operating Systems Analyst. Specifically, I automate infrastructure build processes. Seems more boring when it's written down...

Awww, I made myself sad.

Its cool to see people still want to know who we are chatting with, I just love this forum. I started a thread back in 07 about this as well.

It's a ripoff. (although the laws of physics indeed don't apply to me). And I am a stamp collector.

I've read through both the threads on this subject, and amazingly I didn't see anyone else even close to being in my industry. I'm an accountant for a large multinational firm that manufactures big yellow earthmoving and mining equipment among other things.

I'm a high school counsellor. Right now, none of my students are planning to go into pro brewing, although I am working on it.

That's awesome. I'm a high school math teacher. So many possible brewing applications I could work in to my lessons...

On a purely academic level (for adolescents I mean), it's a shame that beer produces alcool. I could see myself starting a brewing club at school any day!
There are so many interesting aspects in fermentation. Just seeing action in an air lock and watching yeasties flying all over the place having a good time would surely get kids interested in chemistry, biology, history, geography. The list is never ending.

 

[likwidbliss]

I teach earth Science. I also teach Biology and we have done a fermentation to show how alternative fuels are produced. We remove the ethanol form the mixture and ignite it.

 

[Justibone]

MD/PhD student, biochemistry. Used to build front-ends for enterprise websites that were data-driven on the back-end. Dot-com was kind to me, after that... not so much. Was also in the Army a ways back, '93-99. Science is my focus now, though, especially medical applications thereof.

Lotsa scientists on here! Makes perfect sense to me, actually.

HMMMM, and your location is Peoria, IL! I could take a shot in the dark to guess the company, but I'll hold back for now!!!

I rake up poop....

Hobbies right now are pretty much getting ready for my wedding. After that I'd like to get into Falconry.

 

[TotemWolf]

Retired Army Special Forces. Not much call for that in the civil sector.


Hobbies besides brewing. Hiking, camping, geocaching, hunting, fishing, and anything else that gets me outside and moving. Oh and Brewing.


And drinking good beer. and reading about brewing.

 

[cosmokramer]

Train conductor on a class 3 shortline railroad. Its been an interest of mine for a while and I'm really thankful to have the job. Although hours can be tough I really think it is outweighed by the nature of the job. You never know what might happen day to day.


As far as hobbies go, playing golf. I liveeeeee to play golf on the weekends. Brewing beer is starting to creep up on the list as well. And watching curb your enthusiasm and seinfeld on those rainy days.
