What do you do for a living?

[Greedo]

I run a property company. Love it.

Some days in the office, researching new developments, designing, picking out and deciding fixtures and fittings etc...
Some days out viewing potential new projects
Some days on site and actually getting my hands dirty
Some days networking etc... meeting architects, surveyors, suppliers etc....
Bit of everything and I think that's why I like it so much.

staring into a computer screen as my life drips slowly away, helping MNCs ruin the lives of countless innocents around the world....

 

[Greedo]

I fight Pirates, capture them and hang them.

So that will be why you were up in Glasgow at the SECC for a conference?
Was that because it's next to the river?

My company Promote, sell, market and distribute music both to stores (HMV etc) and online (itunes etc).
My actual job is international sales & marketing so I get to travel a lot..

Some of those you may have heard of; Kate Rusby, Ronnie Wood, Julie Fowlis, Dr Feelgood...

 

[Tetedelacourse]

I work at the adrenalin-fuelled interface between information, bureaucracy and treatment for substance misuse.

On the weekend I act as High Commissioner and Grand Master of the Stonecutters.

And you shout at people!

[Kirstie]

Lots of things.
Mostly research, some teaching and lots of project management for the Leviathan which is the OU. Love it (Mostly).

And yes I've heard of (and really like) Julie Fowlis and Kate Rusby.

Kate Rusby is a folk music sex-goddess! I saw her at a tiny venue back in 96 where she was selling CD's out of a wee suitcase in the interval (needless to say I bought a CD just to get to talk to her). She was lovely, charming, witty and very attractive.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I'm an academic in the same general field as Kirstie - we even work together. But I'm up in Newcastle (for the moment).

 

[palinurus]

I work in R&D for a company that makes soldering materials for electronics assembly. Cookery basically. As jobs go it isn't bad.

 

[Kirstie]

I do fight Pirates. Except they be the type that will steal Intellectual Property - stories, films, paintings etc....

I specialise in Education and work with UK Schools, Colleges and Universities to make sure that their use of educational content is morally and legally compliant.

Rather an esoteric field and on the face of it rather dry. But absolutely fascinating in reality as it involves ideas about protecting and rewarding creativity within an increasingly digitised world; and balancing this with the democratic demand for this material to be freely available.

(You did ask )

Yarll be an eckspert in creative commons licencing then....

Dr Feelgood are my hometown band. God, they're still playing? I saw them last about 25 years ago at the original Oysterfleet.
