What is your job/occupation?

I am a writer/editor.

I am an engineer/physicist and business owner.

I write trading rules for a national securities exchange for submission to the SEC, whenever we want to tweak our trading system or our fees.

I certify NAS/SAN devices with VMWare, Citrix XenServer, and (sort of) MS Hyper-V.

I am a graduate student and adjunct professor. I teach classes on philosophy and argumentative writing.

At the moment, I do not have a job. However, I am working on a writing project alongside two professors from my university and a group of writers. My deadlines are January and a second one in August. It won’t be published for two years, but will do wonders for my CV.

I am also working on applications for PhD programs and plan to move in a year. It’s a crazy in-between year for me, but I’m rolling with the punches right now.

Locksmith & part time sarcastic bastard.

I supervise the machine shop for a company that builds seed and feed bins.

Vice Admiral and starship commander in Starfleet.

I’m lame. I work at Staples. lol

I do weather forecasting in the navy. When pilots schedule flights, we forecast the weather for their route of flight. We also forecast weather for specified major military airports.

@Brian1946 I’m an Aerographer’s Mate and I’m an E-5. I make some great money for a 27 year old, but I do fantasize constantly about being a regular person and having a regular life. I just want to feel happy and free again, but I would feel stupid for throwing away job security that billions of people would love.

I just feel really “empty” sometimes. I’ve had deployments and moving ruin relationships and this 8 years has jaded some because I know who I used to be and I know what I’ve “become”. I’m still a happy person, but the military just chips away over time and you don’t realize it until you’ve been in for awhile.

You know how it is, but I’m sure that’s every job for a lot of us. We should just be happy with what we have. I don’t know, it’s just something I feel “in my heart”, wanting to not be in. I don’t care if I have to work in retail for years while going to school, you know? I just want to feel something different.

At present, I am a union representative.

Occupation; asshole.

Job; pillaging.

@KNOWITALL ref: Parrot Wrangler, I have a charming 23-yr old Amazon hen. We adopted her over four years ago. She’s our surrogate child, we spoil her as much as possible. She’s usually cooperative but can decide to be a handful on occasion, and I seem to be the one most able to handle her. I make her toys to destroy and give her showers regularly. (I no professional parrot handling experience, or much experience with other birds, but I spend so much time with this one I feel qualified for the position!)

@dabbler

Does she sometimes verbalize her refusal to cooperate on those occasions?

Has she ever said something to you like, “I already had a shower, you wingless dork!” ;-)

whenever I read “parrot wrangler”, the picture in my mind is homer simpson strangling a parrot.

She likes the shower, and makes all sorts of cheery sounds while in it.
She doesn’t say many words but does have a clear lexicon of sounds including upset and distress, but also happy.

My African grey hates water. Getting her to take a shower or a bath is an exercise.

I am a software Engineer. I have just completed my B.Tech in computer science.

@dabbler That is awesome! My greencheeked conure will jump in the shower sometimes, but prefers her own ‘sink’ batch or spray shower in her room. I also have a beautiful old cockatiel that was probably abused, he’s 13 and hates hands, so I don’t have him clipped and now he’s very sweet.

Recently my conure’s been saying “love you” back, so cute!!
