Q: "I can't get this software to work! This is a piece of garbage!"

A: "Yes it is. Have a nice day."

But it is interesting, kinda in that Chinese curse way, in that the challenges can sometimes be exciting and difficult. And hysterical callers are also interesting, although not often fun.

My avocation of acting in theatre is ALSO interesting, and were I to find a way to make a living at it, I might well switch.

I am in I.T. and work for a general contractor that does conventions around the US. My office is based in the Boston area. I've been doing this for 17 years. Prior to that role I was in graphics  for 7 years doing layout, pre-press, printing, etc for convention signage.

I was a certified EMT but found out they don't pay much. I wanted an exciting job that made a difference. Now I help people in a different way (I.T.).

*Great topic. So interesting to find out the different walks of life.

And I write musicals on the side. 

I teach Art (K-4) so I guess I also made my passion into a career. But that's not my interesting job.

I also teach Driver's Education. Currently I only do the classroom portion, but I have done behind-the-wheel training, and I will again soon as my daughters are in my current class, and I'm going to be their instructor (why not? I have to drive with them anyway!).

Like many around here, I always thought I'd become a comic book artist. Until music hit me with a fastball special. So, after some build up and years of learning and making, I'm split between two interlocked careers.

With my company 4'33", we make music for advertising, games, films and whatever needs sound sculpting.

As Fu_k The Zeitgeist, I'm a music producer/composer doing the art thing (like writing and recording a full album of synthesizer pieces based on Alpha Flight).

They're both extremely satisfying ways to pass my days, specially since I work at home and get to keep most of my working hours for FTZ.
