What is your day job?

So what DOES a megalomaniacal, hell-bent on earthly domination, fun-lovin' guy like you do for a real job? (that is, until your worldy domination is well in hand) We don't need to know where you work, just what kind of work you do?

So far,

JP's picture
it seems I'm a military, hippy, twisted English teacher, amateur entomologist, international man of mystery and part-time pastry chef. Just to make it even better, I'm very happily married and have a fantastic son! Boy do I have it GOOD! And I can't keep a job.

You have to hide how smart you know you are....

ogreoregon's picture
let a new boss think that you don't know how smart and accomplished you are...
provide the facts to him and let them show how smart and close to genius you really are,
but seem unaware of that obvious conclusion. The new boss will then drool over the possibility
of draining your brain and passing your work off as his, thinking you'll never know.
When your hired he will protect you, thus protecting his source of genius...... or create custom pastries shapped like unusual insects and sell them on Craigs List.

Sweet lady,

I think the next time I have a bunch of crack hits to clobber someone with, that someone just might be you. (Even though I think you're just blowing smoke up my skirt. I mean, kilt.)

uterus and contraction in the same post? Gutsy move, Mav. Shadygirl and Gmork may rip your head off if they think you're smart-mouthing their mommy parts. Excuse me a minute while I just move over here to a safe distance.

Taxpayer

Gmork's picture
While my mommy parts are mildly amused by the lack of nate's proper anatomy spelling, it is the taxpayer in me that is affronted by the fact that my hard earned taxpayer dollars, diverted to supporting the public education system in this great nation, are obviously going to waste.

It is kind of scary isn't it.

-of JP. We do have a son. He is still a bit of a kid himself sometimes though. He has been accused of being a 4 year old.

Being a kid....

I hope we all still have some kid left in us.  Otherwise we would be boring people who are dying from ulcers - or worse!!!!

You make me proud! Not only did you enjoy the phonetic fun these words offer, but your grammar is improving!

i dont know much latin but lets see if i can decode it

subiunctivo-subjunctive
semper-always(yay marines)
male utaris-misuse(male is "bad" right?)

Currently I work for myself as a web developer. I specialise in PHP based systems hosted LAMP stacks. I've recently started working with Drupal and have become sold on the system. Getting made redundant is what set me down this path. It was probably the best thing to happen to me (career wise) in the last few years. Scott, if you have any need for assistance with the site (I see it's running Drupal) feel free to ask. I'd be happy to help out. It's the least I can do for all the great content you've provided.

I work on a mine site doing all sorts of interesting things 4 weeks on 1 week off, the work is hard, the shifts are long, you hardly see natural light.. but the pay is awesome and it gives me time to listen to sigler.

1 year 1 month left at

NightHawK's picture
1 year 1 month left at school, then hopefully collage.

Going to be a professional gluer?

JP's picture
collage |kəˈlä zh; kô-; kō-|
noun
a form of art in which various materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric are arranged and stuck to a backing.
• a composition made in this way.
• a combination or collection of various things.

ORIGIN early 20th cent.: from French, literally ‘gluing.’

I think you must have meant "college" but hey, maybe you're going to be a professional gluer, or a part of some living modern art display...

Well,

JP's picture
there's certainly nothing wrong with being a gluer, I guess. I'm sure it's respectable work. Who am I to criticize? Glue is good; that's what I say! And you don't even have to go to college for it, although you do have to go to collage...

My pleasure. BTW, aren't you the actual non-twisted English teacher in the bunch? I'll proudly serve as your "twisted" alter-ego.

Nope!
