What do you do for work?

[summoner49]

I was thinking about it, and figuring the age group of probably most of this forum, it could be interesting what some of you guys do for work around here...

I am about to move to a different city, which means I won't be working this job for very long... but I am a Hotel Attendant at a local (and very busy) hotel. Its on a major highway, so we get alot of business. It is interesting work, I basically do it for all the interesting stories I get from the weirdos who come out there...

So what do you guys do?

[Alderbranchh]

At the moment im a operator at a comp-company. Usually I study chemistry...

[summoner49]

Eh, I had orientation at the college I am going to in the Fall and I had a meeting with the chair of the Computer Science department... and the other guys who were there where so sterotypical computer weirdos... ugh, I actually thought of changing my major... I don't know, I guess not all of them could be that wierd. I hope I can find a few friends who are normal and don't date their computer...

[Alderbranchh]

LOL, well, not all comp-ppl are comp-geeks afterall.
I mean ive seen lots of fun comp-ppl through the years... so they do exist. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I am ...

I love this thread, you guys come up with some very interesting conversations. It's neat to see the different things that people do, truely is.

I have 2 occupations...during the school year I am a high school teacher, and durring the summer months, on my off time I am an archaeologist. My degree was archaeology/egyptology first, then I decided I wanted stable career and went into teaching. But since archaeology is my passion I still do it when I'm not teaching.

I know it sounds sort of made-up Indiana Jones-ish, but it's true...that's me.

A neck muscle? Why? Because it is almost two muscles? Because it is capable of two kinds of motion? Because it is big and powerful? orbiT wants to know! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/blink.gif

@Red_orbiT_

Well guess what. You were so close to have right. Well it is because of its name - one of the longest latin names describing a muscle. And mostly because its impressive that a muscle incable rotating your neck, comes from your chestbone (sternum) and part of clavicula and all the way up to processus mastoideus!!!
