What do you do all day?

[Maria]

I'm currently in my third year of university, where I'm studying to be a high school teacher with a Masters in English and a Minor in history. Most of my free time I spend hanging out with my friends or around the house, but I'm also a scout leader, and I'm the leader of a bible study group for young women, which takes quite a bit of my time.

[Odette]

Oh wow, so many smart people!. ^_^

 

I have a Bacheloers of Fine Arts in Music Performance.

I'm currently living as a full time musician. I teach violin and flute when I have spare time, I maily play violin at Weddings, banquets, funerals (which make me sad, but I need money to eat) and other similar events.

 

I used to do a lot of busking, I spent two and a half years busking all across Europe. It was the best time of my life but I'm trying to find a more 'stable' way to earn money isntead of busking.

Cool - another flutist! It's been years since I've played mine but I do still have my flute and my piccolo! My poor flute needs a major overhaul . . .

 

*smacks hand for allowing flute to languish in its current state*

 

The band director/music teacher (who, incidentally, I went to high school with) at my youngest son's school asked me to donate my flute and piccolo to the school. I just couldn't force myself to do it . . . sentimental attachment and all that! :o

[Harmony]

Yay for flute people! I'm rather sad that my band director is making me give back the school's marching piccolo...I was growing attached, even though I don't play it very much. :D I luuv mah flute.

What do I do all day? Hmmm, well I find ways to waste time, that's what I do.

 

Haha, no really I'm an admin assistant for a commercial appraiser. He also does some real estate development deals on the side, so I basically am up to my eyeballs in Quickbooks with about 20 different bank accounts every day. This year we added managing the financials for a jewelry and art business for my boss's brother to the mix and it's been rather educational. Lately I've been really busy at my job, but when I first joined Dragonmount I literally had about 3 hours of work to do in an 8 hour day, and thus my obsession with LJ, MySpace and the Seminars here at DM started.

 

I also volunteer for transport, fostering, and clerical duties for a cat shelter in my city. http://www.texaspawprints.org I am part of a team of people who keeps up with the over 100 cats in our shelter and tries REALLY hard to put some of them up on Petfinder and keep their information current.

 

And as a third job, I am the treasurer for my city's local chapter of the International Costumer's Guild. We're just starting out, but already the Guild keeps me busy in sewing projects and books balancing. Ok, Waaaay more sewing projects than book balancing, but still....

 

I'm a big fan of coming home at the end of my day and collapsing on my couch with my fur kids.

[Matalina]

Technically I'm a stay at home mom. I was an Electrical Engineer straight out of college for four years till we moved to MS where I didn't find a job, then got pregnant and then stayed home with the youngin(s on the way)

 

But I dabble in Freelance Web Design. I've had one paying client and a have currently two pro-bono clients (one being DM/Warders Div and the other is WoT Track for D*Con). My goal for 2007 is gather another paying client, however, that goal depends on when I will have time to actually work on projects on a deadline with the babies.

*looks at all the flautists*

 

Wow! We could have our own little ensemble! lol! I used to play the flute, but sport got in the way, and I am more talented in sport than music, where I failed half of my exams.

 

I also forgot to say I am my university rugby club's fixture secretary. Without me, we would have no referees for our games.

[Kara_J]

I used to play the trombone....the only female trombonist (to my knowledge) in the entire west mids! :D

[Demandred Valerius]

This one time at band camp!

That is sooo wrong. :P

[Charis alAslan]

[Demandred Valerius]

*holds hands up crossed at the wrists*

[Arya Ellesméra]

My official work title is "Specialist Patton." Or, "SPC Kimberly Dawn Patton," depending on what I'm signing.

 

In other words, I'm a member of the Alabama National Guard, more specifically the 151st Army Band for now. (I'm a percussionist.) When I'm not there, I'm a college student. And a member of ROTC, so hopefully I'll be commissioned as an Officer when I graduate in 2 years, at which point I'll be switched to Military Intelligence.

 

Oh, and I work at a restaurant. And a bar. So my work day tends to run from 3 pm till 3 am. Le sigh.

I've never been to College, and I should really spell check but never do :p

[StaffMaster]

Wow! Shamaeso, you have been married longer a month longer than I have been alive. That is sooo cool. (especially in this day and age)

 

Myself, I am a Quality Assurance Specialist and Technical supervisor for a gas grill service company.

Translation: I tell people how to fix their grills, and I tell the factories how not to make them poorly.
