It IS interesting work. I'll bet being a coroner's assistant was a fascinating job as well!

You have easy access to New Glarus and still bother to brew your own? That's like trying to counterfeit 100 dollar bills with spare equipment from your gold mine...

Ok not really but I feel better after writing the joke.

I'm a former mechanic as well as failed musician and actor. Now I'm a technical analyst for a worldwide technology provider. It's an incredibly dull job that I happen to be very good at so I'll be doing it until I die. I'm not wealthy so my hobbies are a bit stunted as of late.

-Music (listening, playing, and recording)
-Movies
-Books
-Sports (everything except baseball)
-Food
-Yard work (it's surprisingly cathartic)

 

[SeanU]

Hey everyone....

I'm Sean from Montclair NJ. I'm 44, and work in NYC as a computer programmer. I've got 2 kids, 2 Outbacks, and 1 wife. In my younger days I did a lot of work on my cars... these days I don't have much time to tinker. I have been considering picking up a used Jaguar XKR in the hopefully not too distant future. I'm also an amateur photographer (blog is at dustandrust.com ).

The forum here is one of the most informative and friendly ones I've participated in... thanks to everyone here.

Yup! I have seen things that I would not ever have seen...and have seen some things that people just shouldn't see. :gasp:
