I sweep floors for a local park district to support my music habit. One of the few things you can do with a liberal arts degree in English Lit if you don't want to teach.

Service Representative and Loan Officer at a Credit Union. I don't know if you folks outside of the US have Credit Unions...do you? If not, they're like co-op banks. Owned and operated by the people who have accounts there, instead of the profits going to "investors". I love the one I work for, and I really love the spirit of the movement.

The one thing I NEVER thought I'd ever do...Stay at Home Mom. Before becoming a mother, I was a real estate agent. Before that I owned 2 retail music stores geared toward school music and before that I was a band director.

Owner of a Tour company in (surprise, surprise) Orlando, FL. The different thing is that I do historical tours of Orlando.

We are not, as is assumed around the world, a "company town" that is focused on Disney and only Disney. We do have over 45 million visitors a year which is more than any other place in the world. If you are planning a visit - send me a message and I'll show you the real Orlando.

I am a volunteer fire fighter-- not restricted to day time hours, or to fire-related incidents.. when ever emergencies crop up-- 80% of our calls are medical emergencies. I also staff a fire lookout tower, and also drive the bookmobile for the county library. my favorite part of the Florida countryside near Orlando was the "Bear Crossing" signs. (Any chance of getting a digital image of one?) i visited my in-laws when they lived near Eustis. I wish i had stopped and tried the boiled peanuts from the road side stand. do the aligators eat many poodles around there? how about Pumas--have there been any sightings lately? Cougars? what do you call them, probably not mountain lions, cuz i do not think you have mts.

My jobs are part time library assistant at Huddersfield University library and relief attendant at the Tolson Memorial Museum, after deciding to leave teaching after approx. 17 years in 1995. My life's work is my poetry writing,which is now taking off semi-professionally. :-)

Unemployed editor, free-lancer, semi-retired, househusband, or full time musician, depending on what day you catch me on. I was laid off from a longtime editorial job 17 months ago, had a good-sized severance and made it last, haven't found anything new except occasional free-lance work, finally became eligible for EI. Hoping my new CD will generate some income once it hits its break-even point. Enough to squeak me through to pensionable age, anyway. Meantime, I'm practising my "Would you like fries with that?", just in case...

Hi, Mud:

I'm retired, but spent 36 years working in a Museum, the last 30 as Director. The Museum's big attraction was an early New England Farm, and we had over 100 acres of land. I ran a folk concert series there for 27 years and came to know many mudcatters through that, and a festival I ran for seven.

When I joined Mudcat, I started a thread like this... more recent than the one with the blue clickie. Being blue clickie challenged, I can't direct you to it, but the thread title was What Do You Do In Real Life? The last posting was probably a couple of months ago...

I work evenings. I work at an American university as a Library Technician/Night Supervisor.A LT is as far as you can go without being a Librarian ( Master's degree required). I didn't get my master's, I got bored with the program. Got A grades,but I couldn't stand the lack of challenge of it to stick it out to make something of it.

I like my job and I like playing old time.

Running the museum sounds neat!
