Well, I just (about 2 weeks ago) finished my thesis, so as of right now I have my Master's in physics and am looking for a job! :)

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.

Please don't think they give a shit.
Only if the Clock speed is over 2.5 GHz. Anything slower than that is pure Vanilla.

Who do you work for or would you have to kill me if I knew?
I don't think I should say outright but I'll give you a hint: in Firefly-speak when everything is cool, working as it should be, or otherwise a good situation, they say it's _____.
Now hold still so I can shoot you.

Hmm. Area 51???
(watched that special on TV last night...)I have been unemployed since November 10th (though I have a job interview today -- hooray! Keep your fingers crossed!)
For 17 years I worked for the #1 School Library Software company (you librarians may know which one) My first four and last six years there were in Technical Support. The middle seven were as a Software Test Engineer.
Prior to that, I worked in a sewing factory (a.k.a. sweatshop)and a factory.

I got annoyed with slogging for other people's dreams a few years ago (management, development of training programs), so now I exercize my options. I usually work 3 days a week in a little shop, I barter skills, knowledge and sweat with several groups of people, and I paint, mostly in oils, and make things: textiles, wood, metal, paper blah blah (which brings income). Currently I'm learning computer applications to sail the art thing out into the black, and I'm trying to figure what/where else to juggle so I can keep this independent thing in the air for the long haul. Because I like it a lot, but I need a big people component to replace the kick I got from teaching/training, and retirement accounts must be regularly fed.

Dang, I spent 12 days on Isle Royale a long time ago. It's gorgeous; silent, pristine, right up there with the Boundary Waters in terms of northern beauty. Jumping off a dock into Superior was a maybe a bad idea though, ~55 degree water, ouch.
