I'm currently a chef-in hiding. I spent six months last year at the CIA and decided that more schoolin was not for me. Now, I'm cooking for family and friends and developing recipes for this site. More coming soon, I know, I'm behind!

I've also got a graduate degree in history. I've done some teaching and some writing.

I'm also training for a half-marathon and working with dogs at our local no-kill animal shelter.

occupationally, i currently work for a church as the Administrative/Technology assistant. that means i get paid pittance to do everything that needs to be done on the computer--database, weekly church bulletin, web site and the like. occasionally i even get to do fun things like artwork for production posters for the church, but only in between copy jobs. since they can't afford medical insurance for me i'll be moving on in the summer to something more secure--temporary work!!

what i really want to do is find a way to draw to my heart's content. unfortunately, submitting to art shows takes more money than i can spare right now. isn't that just the way?

I am a lab technician. I've had this job for five months, and I still feel like I have a lot to learn. I'm 24 and considering going back to school to get some chemistry degree. Of course, it would be nice if I could raise the money first.

I also have some aspiration for writing. I have no doubt that making a living as a writer is very difficult. However, I believe I have some passion for it. I enjoy the mysterious and frightening very much.

Like InvisibleGreen, I'm from Michigan.

I have a friend who maintains that you just have to set up your box in a dark corner in some big IT company's alley and tap into their internet uplink.

I'm a field archaeologist working in various parts of the western US. My screen name comes from a college advisor who was pushing me to pick a specialization, then didn't like it when I told him I wanted to go into theoretical zenoarchaeology. He did stop asking me though....

Fascinating the different things people do!

I am the manager of a group that does mechanical payload design for communications satellites at an aerospace company in LA. We were assimilated about 3 years ago by the giant aerospace company which shall remain nameless.

I blame Robert Heinlein for this because I read "The Menace From Earth" in the 4th grade. Just call me Holly Jones.

I'm going to be unemployed in two weeks. I'm about to finish a temporary assignment at Amgen, a leading developer of pharmaceuticals for cancer patients (among others). In my spare time, I’m coding a fireflyMUD (you may have seen other treads about it) but that’s going pretty slow right now, seeing how most of my free time is taken up trying to find a new job. Speaking of which, does anybody know of any jobs in the greater Boulder, Colorado area that would want to hire me? Things are getting desperate.

Much obliged

Hey Channain, if you bring cheesecake we’ll hardly be starving artists anymore. What the hell, I’d rather have the cheesecake and a good debate over the title of “starving artist”. Come on over!

Xenarc- What’s theoretical zenoarchaeology? Sounds interesting. And thanks for the internet tip. I won’t get to have my dream box under the high way with a beautiful median view, but I think an ally will do just as well. I guess I can’t get too picky when I’m living in a cardboard box.

Oh, *wink, wink* any of you museum/archeologist/anthropologist types out there need an apprentice...especially since I just admitted that I don‘t know what theoretical zenoarchaeology is? *wink, wink*
