TheMusicalMarine Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Fully realizing that this board is about jazz, it would still be interesting to hear what all of you do. Accountants? Machinists? Musicians? Retired? Insurance? I, for one, am in military intelligence. Laugh it up. Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Fully realizing that this board is about jazz, it would still be interesting to hear what all of you do. Accountants? Machinists? Musicians? Retired? Insurance? I, for one, am in military intelligence. Laugh it up. No way, man--I will resist the tired old cheap shot! Besides, I'm having breakfast with a "spook" on Sunday. Library supervisor/jazz DJ. Hoping that the jazz DJ gig will soon turn into a fulltime one. Quote
RDK Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Motion Picture Story Analyst... for a great metropolitan movie studio, owned by an even greater global conglomerate. I could say "laugh it up" too! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Nothing. My wife takes care of that. Quote
John B Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I, for one, am in military intelligence. Laugh it up. So was my dad, back when he was in the service. I sit in an office writing and negotiating contracts. I get to listen to a lot of music while doing so, which is really nice. Quote

Leeway Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Make enemies in the political forum and attend alot of political functions swarming with hacks who've mastered the art of failing upwards! I assume the first of those tasks is charitable work, but how much does the second pay? Quote

AllenLowe Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 nothing wrong with military intelligence - actually, Lee Harvey Oswald worked for military intelligence - I actually know a guy up in Minnesota to whom Oswald confided this at Balboa Naval base some time in the early 1960s - by day I work for an insurance company. By night I sleep - Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I work for an insurance company. Bastard! Quote
randissimo Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) I'm usually rehearsing, gigging, or recording with Organissimo, or I'm teaching drum lessons 3 days a week @ a music store, and hustling gigs.. Edited January 29, 2005 by randissimo Quote
Christiern Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 As has been pointed out in another thread (by something that calls itself "lp"), I am just a bitter old man who, presumably, keeps busy doing what bitter old men do. Let's see, that would be working on a new book, translating 250-year-old slave tax records from gothic Danish to digital data, writing he occasional liner note, interacting on a couple of jazz bulletin boards, preparing art work for early childhood RFPs, cataloging my 45 rpm collection (already took care of the cylinders), and setting up my blog. Did I leave anything out? Guess not, but one day I hope to find time to look back over my life and feed the seething bitterness that rages within me. Quote

catesta Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) Interesting thread. I am in the commercial/industrial landscape maintenance and weed control business. We like to refer to it as vegetation management. I have a couple of partners, but somehow I got suckered into managing the majority of the business. We are contracted mainly with municipal and state government agencies as well as public utilities in Arizona, Nevada, Washington, and California. It's been exciting and fun but I'm looking for a change in the near future. Edited January 29, 2005 by catesta Quote
