What is your day job?

Posted October 9th, 2007 by hereticchick

Where do you get your ideas?

So what DOES a megalomaniacal, hell-bent on earthly domination, fun-lovin' guy like you do for a real job? (that is, until your worldy domination is well in hand) We don't need to know where you work, just what kind of work you do?

Currently I work for myself as a web developer. I specialise in PHP based systems hosted LAMP stacks. I've recently started working with Drupal and have become sold on the system. Getting made redundant is what set me down this path. It was probably the best thing to happen to me (career wise) in the last few years. Scott, if you have any need for assistance with the site (I see it's running Drupal) feel free to ask. I'd be happy to help out. It's the least I can do for all the great content you've provided.

I work on a mine site doing all sorts of interesting things 4 weeks on 1 week off, the work is hard, the shifts are long, you hardly see natural light.. but the pay is awesome and it gives me time to listen to sigler.

I'm Chief Operations Officer

On April 3rd, 2008 totxmacher says:

That's just my fancy way of saying that I'm the office manager of a small water damage restoration company. Listening to General Siglerisimo on my way to work gets me ready to deal with underlings and inferiors.

... and air force wife. I also train horses,but we are getting ready to move to Germany. My horse is moving to Virginia for a few years. The great part is the number of people that overhear my latest Sigler fix while I am at the barn. I am going to get them ALL hooked before we leave!

Thanks

On March 16th, 2008 Shadygirl says:

We are heading to Ramstein. Our orders are for 3 years, but it is possible we may move in 1 year. I am looking forward to it. We have a 1 year old, so he will have some very interesting experiences. I am going to miss the horses terribly though. Having been AF, you know how it is - you never know what is next. Thank goodness I have the Dark Overlord to occupy my mind on the flight!

Keep your powder dry

Have a great time...

My husband hooked me.

On March 8th, 2008 Shadygirl says:

I think he has several of his troops that are in the desert listening too. Our squadron is full of sci-fi fans that are ripe for a Sigler takeover. I plan to get my father hooked when my parents come up to visit in a few weeks. My mom will just roll her eyes at us. She never has understood sci-fi. Some people just don't know what they are missing.

i'm on a deer lease in east texas and we generally kill more beer than deer

Yeah, that's what we need, more drunk deer hunters.

On March 1st, 2008 ogreoregon says:

Ice fishing, ok, just make sure the hole in the ice is smaller than your head. so you won't fall in, and in your case, I think your pretty safe if your head is as big as I think it is...........not really. I am suffering POINT ENVY.

A friend I worked with used to do the ice fishing thing, the family had a little shack on a sled they'd pull out on the lake. He said they had tons of fun out on the ice, and showed us lots of pictures to prove it. It really looked like fun. and I guess you are right, his wife and kids were usually not with him, I think they went shopping.

I am an artist, fine and digital, I do pretty much anything and everything related to the field including instruction and some stuff you never knew was part of the field. Currently I am my own boss and contract myself out (aka freelance) and that pays the bills and gives me time to pursue what doesn't pay the bills
