I have alot of respect for nurses, ward aids clinical assistants etc anyone that works in clinival environments. I learned alot of valuable practical stuff from nurses when I did my acute adult placement for speech path. One of them even taught me how to suction a trachy patient, but I'm not actually allowed to do that until i get "proper training"( what better training is there?)
I love that I'm not the only one who doesn't feel like they've grown up yet. It took me 20 years between university degrees to decide on speech pathology, though some friends keep wondering why I'm not a textile artist as I have some talent in that area.
paintball and hockey,two things I'd like to get into...my friends refuse to go to paintball with me. they think I'd be too agressive and competitive with a weapon in my hand...phooey I'd be restrained. I played Hockey once in year 9 and the PE teacher never let me play again because I scared the other girls. I didn't hurt anyone I just seemed agressive. The year 12 girls who coached hockey wanted to put me on a team, but they were outranked. I was sooo disappointed as it was the only competitive sport I was interested in.

Aw, I can sorta sympathize with the hockey thing. I discovered roller hockey in high school (after hating every other competitive sport I tried) and LOVED it. It was only a gym elective and my district didn't have a hockey team of any sort, but my immediate thoughts were "why the hell DON'T we? This is the best fun EVER!!!" Would've been awesome to get into that for at least some amount of time.
Hell, in that class being aggressive was practically a requirement XD we padded the walls and just pummeled each other.

I’m quite sure that the attraction of Firefly has appealed to many people from many avenues of life. My story is no different.
I worked 14 years for 2 major oil companies, both would be known to most folk if I did name them. One took over the other in the mid 80s and I continued to work for my new employer at that time until layoffs in the early 90s, at which point I became employed by a synthetic rubber producing company. Have worked for this particular company 17 years and hope to be finishing up soon.
In 31 years I have worked as a warehouse person, painter, refining unit operator, tank farm operator, laboratory technician, equipment operator and currently am in charge of the tail end of a processing area and am responsible for 10 employees.
I found FF soon after renting the BDM on dvd and have become a major fan ever since. I love the people, love the fans and respect all the actors and creative force behind the show. Joss’ sincerity in the bonus material of Serenity convinced me to rent and watch Firefly and it is something I will never regret. I consider myself a browncoat through and through and at some time in the future would like to meet many of my acquaintances here from FFF.net. Will it happen? Not sure that it will , but I would like for it to. If I ever make a convention I’ll be the one with the “Z” nametag, fair warning……

As some of the Real-Worlders can tell you, I work for a Member of Parliament in Canada. The equivalent to the US Congressperson. But I'm thinking about changing professions to a job I can do in the afternoon/evening, because of sleep issues. Anyone have any ideas?
Most of my spare time goes to training for roller derby. Right now my focus is being able to jump over an obstacle (as I am a pansy-ass, and am scared to jump).

Been working for over 30 years as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic/ Electrician. I fix stuff in factories, large or not so much.
I have a BA in Theatre Arts, I wanted to be a Scene /Lighting designer, stage Manager or stage hand. Couldn't get a job at any of that...
Hobby wise, theatre, art, books, baseball, model trains, and computers. I learned to program a long time ago, in a couple of languages as dead as Aramaic, and I still dabble at it, when the mood strikes.

IS'T roller derby FAKE LIKE WRESTLING?NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Unabashed vixen: I'd love to do roller derby...but am too dyspraxic to skate...have tried and tried but just can't get it. I think it's the idea of balancing and moving on both legs, as I have the same problem with skiing, ( and walking somedays) though the one time I tried snowboarding I was ok (not brilliant and I had some spills but I managed) Afterschool care is an afternoon job, or you could become a disabilities worker and do afternoon/evening shifts. or work in restaurants etc. or start your own business, then you could choose your hours.

I'm in the Bay Area of California as a college student at an art school. It's my forth year of college, but I transferred into here two years ago to go for my Bachelors in Classical Animation (2d) with an Emphasis in Storyboarding/Visual Development. We're not allowed to double major but I'm preparing to take animal anatomy/creature design classes so I can also have that under my belt.
Basically I'm a preproduction monkey. I set up the project concept/story/shot wise before it's handed off to the animators. We don't get a whole lotta credit (hence there aren't too many of us out there), but it's fun and I can branch out into live action films/TV and eventually become a director. Essentially that's my goal, creator/director with studio backing or my own independent studio.
Hobbies? sleeping, writing, drawing, prop fabrication, muppet building, watching TV, singing, being a college student :) Summers I usually teach art to kids at a summer camp too.
Your Indian Pirate Lord,
Ash

Its weird when you guys talked about the hockey thing. I loved hockey in school and everyone loved watching the girls hockey games in gym class. We were able to push each other around and go crazy. I sooo wish I could join a real field hockey team.
It was good too because no one ever got out of control or stupid. We all knew there were no hard feelings it was just part of the game.
And for topics sake. I'm just a temp doing whatever I can now. But I'm going to school for Information Technology with a concentration in Networking. I already have a bachelors in criminology so maybe I can do other stuff like cyber crime or IT security too.
