What do you do for a living?

Just curious what you all do for a living seeing as we share a common interest in Spyderco and knife design.
To start it all off I am a painter and also work in architecture.

I'm a Network Analyst for a hospital. So I get to work on servers and Cisco stuff pretty much all day for fun.

For the past three years I've been a full time stay at home Dad for my son. In a former life I was a Licensed Veterinary Technician, a nurse if you will, for animals. I even taught for a while at LaGuardia Community College in Queens.
Cheers,
Rob
And Yes! this is the definition of "OFF TOPIC"

Currently working in the warranty dept of a major OEM in telecom, working on the wireless internet stuff myself.
Pretty safe to say that if you use high speed internet, cable TV or video on demand... you've used our equipment.
Pretty much I get paid to plug the board in, watch the pretty lights, and eat my banana... oh, wait, thats the trained monkey I have doing my job :p I do the same thing I just don't get the banana.

Clovisc I agree it sounds like it is in the wrong forum for sure :confused: Forum members should be more careful about where they post this stuff :o
Tony I agree with you as well I thought the same thing that Michael Bolton was just an out of work singer with a hippe hairstyle :p

I'm a certified residential appraiser in AZ. I see everything from $6,000,000 custom homes to gutted REO's (foreclosures). I have even seen a few of the "crazy cat lady " homes after the humane society took out 200+ cats, YUK!

Now there lets not insult the hippies, Bolton's hair is far more offensive. I have very long hair and I'm a loyal patriotic right wing conservative.
