/topic I'm a lawyer, but don't hold that against me...

I hope you've looked at the IP implications of that...

I see what you did there, you scamp.

Accountant, and I also teach accounting to BBA students

I make games!

But, I also have a pretty much full-time alternate life in theater. I'm a comedian and actor. I also work at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival as a street performer.

This thread is awesome, btw. Good jorb, OP.

I'm a quality assurance chemist for a major metropolitan water provider.

I'm a correctional officer.

My supervisor pulled me aside today and told me how I didn't get back to the post office in time and that I'm a poor performer. He said that he needed me to have an 8 hour day today and since I've gone over 8 hours every day I've been on my route, and that I'm a poor performer. He said that I put him in a 'pickle' and I started laughing. And it made him angry that I was laughing so it was even funnier to me. We got into a discussion about how I took too many stops to urinate while doing my route.

He then asked me if I liked working at the post office. I told him that it's alright. He then asked me if I cared about my job and I started laughing again and he threw his hands up in the air and said, "I guess you don't care!".

I truly couldn't help laughing and if I had a choice in the matter I wouldn't have, but it was nice to inadvertently defeat someone's efforts like that.

Is it true that they time you guys on your route and count your steps? Also, where do you even find restrooms? In our residential neighborhood, you'd have a ways to go to find a restroom open to the public. And isnt there a limit for mileage on the vehicle?

Just curious!

ouch!

I'm a dollhouse builder, and just remember, some one has to build them.

They time us on the routes. As long as we follow the proper procedure of notifying management that we need more time and as long as management doesn't see us doing things that are considered time wasting practices we can't get in trouble for going over time. Well, management will write you up anyways but that's what the union is for.

No step counting, although if someone sat down and figured it out you could find out how many miles you'd be walking.

Mileage isn't limited.

Drugstores like Walgreens, fast food places, apartment leasing offices, the post office itself if you have a route near it, etc. all have bathrooms. Alot of businesses in general have them and usually they'll let you use the bathroom even if it's not normally open to the public. Some areas have routes that are far away from bathrooms so then you'll just have to make a comfort stop that takes a while.

Management might get angry but I'm done pissing in bottles in the back of the truck.

That's the upside to my job. Half the time I'm sitting in a corn field and the nearest house is a mile away.

The world is my toilet.

Interesting. I'm recently actively looking into becoming a quant in London, having already become an expert at Matlab and R during my PhD and post-doc.

Still looking for that way in.

It's not easy now with the competition for sure. Lots of bright kids come out every year!

You could try pick up the Paolo Brandimarte book if you haven't already - name dropping that helps.

Not sure if i contributed to this but...

I'm the assistant editor on a paintball games type publication called 'Airsoft Action' (airsoft is like paintball with electric BB guns)

I also write scenarios for RPG games and 'colour text' for wargames rulebooks but I'm not telling you which companies

He could always name him Django Pett. (the D is silent)

I teach Western Civilization for sophomores at a private high school and am applying for a doctorate in the fall.

This is really bothersome when I play historic war games. I run into lots of people who think that historians are just people who memorize facts about the past. Ultimately, lots of people know way more about what weapon was used when...blah...blah...blah.

I get this as a WWII living history chap and someone who writes articles for magazines about 20th century warfare I lose count of the times when wargamers get hung up on 'wonder weapons of the 3rd reich'

If they were that good they would have won.

Wargamers get obsessed with main weapon calibre, velocity, armour thickness of things like Tigers and Panthers but don't understand

1. how rare they were in WWII (85 per cent of the german army was horse drawn at its best point)

2. that they broke down *constantly*

3. that most bridges in eastern europe couldnt take their weight to cross rivers

4. the 3rd reich rarely had the fuel reserves to use them properly (or late on copper for electric turrer wiring etc)

Wargamers just see 'big gun, thick armour.. its the best tank in the world' as few wargames reflect 'boring' stuff like bridging weights, fuel consumption, mechanical reliability and cost of production... they just 'math' some hard numbers that ae true to a degree but the best gun in the world is useless if you've crashed into a river in russia as the bridge can't take 28 tons of weight and no ones got the fuel for two other tiger I's to pull you out of there
