I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

That was funny,
Even worse down below <grin>
Oh wait I'm on there <embarrased>
been a long time since I was on that 30 day list .. Matt has more time than I do obviously, then again I'm not retired yet

Getting back to the original post - I run a web development division (including hosting, websites, mobile apps and web apps), and pitch in with the programming. Oh, I'm also a part of the IT team (separate division; server admin and SQL resource since we host/monitor a lot of stuff), and part of the marketing team due to being head of development.
What day it is decides which hat I am wearing at a given time.
Makes the day go by quick and keeps me up at night smile

What do you do (or have done) to pay the bills? I'll bet there are a myriad of occupations represented here.

I'll start: Medical Photographer.

I omitted several jobs on my initial post, so here goes:


Medical Photographer – University Of Miami - Miami Fl.
Expeditor – Cla-Val Foundry – Costa Mesa, Ca.
Parts Manager – Cessna Dealership – Miami Fl.
Warehouse Manager – D.M.E. Company – Ocala Fl.
Smuggler – Philadelphia, Pa.
Operations Manager – Furniture Company - Newport Beach, Ca.
Engine Line – B.M.W. - Spartansburg, S.C.
Busker – San Francisco, Miami, N.Y.C.

There are numerous other Shipping/Receiving/Warehouse jobs, but thankfully, I've forgotten them. laugh

I work for, broadly speaking, a small Business Consulting firm. Our clients are primarily start-ups in the manufacturing and B2B sectors, and are spread around many regions and countries. I've worked remotely since day 1, so none of "this" is new to me.

I started as essentially a glorified secretary and have taken on more and more roles and functions (while remaining a glorified secretary) until now I am a company officer and shareholder. Even so, on the average week, this is still a part-time job which only turns full-time when I travel. I haven't travelled since C-19 hit.

My full-time job is as a stay-at-home dad to two kids under 10. The pay is crap, but the benefits are priceless.

I've also sold enough CD's of original music to buy a decent stack of CD's for original music.

FWIW I also worked in a music store for 10 years or so.
Mainly because my parents owned the store, so I had all kinds of tasks.
Clean the storefront windows one day, demonstrate the latest gear the next.
So I started young (too young by today's standards).

It was a great opportunity and also where I first discovered BiaB.
It was on the shelf for a while at the store, so at inventory time I simply asked if I could have that copy.


PTPA was what caught my eye back then (RB today), I'm pretty sure it was included, or I discovered it via BiaB
Once I started recording, there was no turning back .. it's still my favorite 'job'. Sometimes it pays, sometimes it's for fun.

Harv, did you live then where you live now? I remember back in 1987 I crossed the border from Sarnia into that state up north because I needed strings and generic stuff like that and the first real city was Port Huron. I went to some music store somewhere in that area but I don't know if it was Port Huron or further down into Marysville. I remember that day because I forgot my work visa and had a HUGE problem with the border. There was a bar in Port Huron that was the hot spot on Sunday night and 2 girls from Sarnia took me over there. Had a great time in Sarnia, though I had a great time on every road trip. Back when I was young and hot I had some good times on the road!

I grew up in Port Huron, and it was pretty much the only store in town back then Eddie.
I don't think Marysville ever had a music store.

Than chances are good that I could have been in your family store!! So you can thank me for the profits on that 6 packs of strings and can of guitar polish keeping the store alive! They probably made 70-80 cents on my visit that day!! Followed by 75 minutes of trying to get back into Canada...
