So... that.. is what I do... Hey.. here is another Topic to discuss..

What does everyone do?

Next?

Good idea Valentine: this is very exciting, like grown up show and tell.

I'll kick it off: I am Head Of Acquisitions for a french speaking music television station.

Who's next?

 

[SparklieSunShine]

Rick- Let me know if you don't get that pm.

Viki- I think you should totally go one one of this Disney Cruises. I have been on a few and loved every second of it. The trip this year was supposed to be a cruise, but since we were short on time we had to change our plans. Also where did you get that Dirty Martini. I am going to have to try that.

JoanJett- I can't wait for the french lessons. lol.

Valentine & JoanJett -You both have such important sounding jobs! I mainly work as a secretary/personal assistant at an alarm company. That pays the bills and allows me to go on vacations. My second job is at a Sunglass Hut where I use my discount liberally and catch up on my reading because people don't really buy sunglasses at night when I work.



Next?

Currently I am working at a newspaper in Buffalo, NY as a Graphic Designer i the Creative Services Department. I work on designing the advertisements that run in the newspaper as well as help to develop our special sections and supplemental publications.

I just had my 1st special section that I got to do myself run in The Buffalo News on Thursday (do you get the paper, Saxton? Hmmmmmm?)!!

I am actually at work right now, and I think it's going to be a long, long day. A lot of political ads, what with it being Election season.

JJ- do you work for Musique Plus? I LOVE that station! Whenever I am visiting Montréal (not since October 2004, sadly) i watch it all of the time. And then i buy the CDs that I see. Last time it was Stéfie Shock (le Décor) and Marie-Mai (inoxydable).

Guilty as charged! If you want a peek, this is it: www.musiqueplus.com. Ah yes, Marie Mai was a finalist in the first edition of Star Académie, which is sorta like American Idol. That song 'Il faut Que Tu T'en Aille' is really catchy! She's super sweet too.

I am writing this from my office actually, really gotta get back on it, leave early, pack and catch my flight tomorrow. The I have an eight hour flight to study my guide to Dl Paris!

See you all in about two weeks!

 

[SparklieSunShine]

Have fun on your trip!

 

[Saxton]

Kathy - your 'hobby' sounds pretty impressive to me. I never had the nerve to get up on stage so I applaud anyone with talent & and guts.

Urbanation - I do read the News everyday ... sometimes in print butif I'm crunched for time I read it online. Let me know what is your work and I'll make sure I look for it!

I'm a geek for a living. I head up an IT department for a federal law enforcement agency. In fact, Urbanation and I work pretty close to each other ... both in downtown Buffalo and within walking distance of each other!!

Sparklie, "My second job is at a Sunglass Hut where I use my discount liberally and catch up on my reading because people don't really buy sunglasses at night when I work." LOL!!! That's very funny.

Genevieve: Have a great trip!

Work? I am an ordained Lutheran minister deployed by the Bishop's office to work with troubled congregations that have suffered some sort of misconduct or extraordinary level of conflict. I help them heal, get their acts together, get a new vision for the future, and move on. I also teach how to do this work all over the country - I'll be in Syracuse beginning the end of next week - and other topics more locally. It's good stuff and it allows me the time to plan and take vacations!

 

[SparklieSunShine]

Viki- Wow that sounds like it wouldn't get boring to easy. You would always be working with different people towards a different goal. Neat. )

That's it exactly. You could say I have a very short attention span, so this work suits me exactly!

I get to meet all sorts of new folk every 18 months or so and the work is always changing. And, of course, as I age I find that teaching suits me more and more. It's great to be able to mid-wife others who are just coming along.

The trip this year was supposed to be a cruise, but since we were short on time we had to change our plans. Also where did you get that Dirty Martini. I am going to have to try that.

I am really, really thinking on the cruise, even talked to my chiropractor about it today and, as it turns out, his wife is a travel agent who specializes in cruises, so I might give her a call.

As for the dirty martini - I haven't made any yet but ever since reading about them on one of the threads (luscious/lushes???- they're a speciality at the WL bar, bleu-cheese stuffed olives floating in lots of vodka), I've been ordering them about town. The best so far has been at the Cheesecake Factory where they chill the glass - an absolute necessity, I think!

 

[SparklieSunShine]

Hmm....I think there is a Cheesecake Factory in King of Prussia. That isn't to far from me. I might have to hop over to the WL to try one while I'm at Disney.

OK, THAT'S exactly where I've had them twice (Cheesecake Factory at KOP, not WL) and my server has been named Ross (he is simply the best) and when are we having dinner together girlfriend, because that's only 30 minutes from us???

 

[Viki]

Joe and I will be at WDW 10/26 - 11/5. Perhaps we can all meet at PI and have a gay old time? Be great to meet up!

If so, send me a PM!

We can't meet up with you in WDW because you all are going too soon this year! But have you seen "Witches" yet? We'd love to put a mini DIS meet in NYC together around catching that play if you guys are into it.

 

[True North]

joanjett1976: WHAT!?! You work for Musique Plus!?! That is the most exciting job I have heard! Even when I was an aglophone child I watched Musique Plus! Joanjett, you just keep sounding more exciting with every message.

Oh, and to answer the original question, I am a law student.

Oh my goodness do not even tempt me. lol. Any excuse to go to King of Prussia and I am soooooo there. It is only an hour and a half from me which of course when you live in the Pocono's is nothing!

I have heard that play is really good. Enjoy you guys! (If and when you meet up)

Have I ever mentioned I love this board?

Viki - would you make us all wear matching sweatshirts?

Yes! And if we make it around February we can have Piglet and Pooh romping in a field of Valentine hearts!!!

(It's a good thing I crack myself up).
