    Default What is your job?

    What do you do for a living?

    I am a web designer, developer and manager of a company.

    I have a regular job as a project manager in consumer electronical business. I also have fix engagements with my music (studio jobs, writing pieces for kids) that grow more and more. Today we will meet people from a record company who will check the draft for our kids musical. Things work great and I consider myself more a musician than a business man.

    Oh wow, that is cool Jimi. It's great you have such connections and the time for it too. I am more of a Jack Of All Trades than anything else...

    It's tough really. Most days look like this:
    Coming home from work, playing with the kids, spending the evening with my wife, then working on my music from 10-1h in the night and getting up again at 6h in the morning.

    I work at the Police, I take care of those who wishes to file a police report and stuff like that.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I do interactive strategy in a marketing agency by day.

    At night, I hang out with my wife (and college-aged kids when I can). I seem to find some time to practice guitar most nights, too.

    On Sundays, I sing and play in the church worship band.

    Life is good!

    I'm a Program Assistant at a large nonprofit science advisory institution you've probably heard of, my little branch of which focuses on atmospheric sciences and climate change. I handle meeting and travel logistics, maintain websites, put out newsletters, edit reports, and suchlike. About a third of my income comes from gigging and teaching, though.

    Which means I get to sing a ton of kids' songs and do weird dance actions and stuff. High tolerance to self-embarrassment required, but it's kind of fun.

    I've been in manufacturing and marketing in the aerospace industry for small period of time and the rest has been in aerospace procurement. A total of 28 years in the aerospace industry and by far where I work now is the best place.
