Hey UnregisteredCompanion - another brewer! I started getting into brewing mead a few years ago, it's so fun! I just did a pomegranite, weird but may be very good in a few years.

Really I'm a geophysicist: seismic waves, earthquakes, oil exploration, environmental stuff. A lot of code writing, a little visiting cool places.

It pays the bills, but I'd rather do physics based animation, or sell home brew mead, or dance with Mark Morris, or write episodes of the new Firefly series... oh sorry, I must have slipped into an alternate universe for a second there.

I manage a construction company. Different disasters every day and it's never boring.

Most days I wear jeans and company logo shirts. Once in a while I scare the crap outta everyone and dress like a girl.

Longshoreman. But I too spent 5 years as a library page in younger days. I currently put my English degree to good use moving cargo around with giant rickety-ass machinery.

Administrative Assistant in a bank, which means I do a little of everything-from the ATM to processing loan paperwork, answering the phone, to calming cusotmers down.

UNC-Chapel Hill BA in American Studies-couldn't decided on English (American Lit) or American History and I discovered American Studies-no one has ever made any money in it except a few authors , people that go on to law school or Katie Couric.

Also former sergeant in the US Army-in computers though and I ended up being the tape librarian.



BTW I always thought I'd be a librarian. I could live in one forever and have volunteered in one for years. Love the internet-it's like one vast library .

Forgot to add that I'm a single Mom that was guided to the 'verse by my daughter.

(Asks hopefully:)

Do they have chocolate in them???

Yeah, I know, I bet you hear that all the time. It was either that or buffalo chips. Or maybe potato chips. Or corn chips.

Well if you have a boy you could still call it River after River Phoenix, though pretty much a girly name.
