What's your work...

  • Thread starter Thread starter atreides
  • Start date Start date
I am trying to make it as a musician. I have a part-time music-related desk job which grants me university access and free copies, as well as giving me plenty of down time to read. I have had several jobs in the sciences (both government and private) and a 9-5 work schedule just doesn't jive with my system. As a free-lancer I can't really plan when my schedule is going to be hectic or not, but as a side benefit, I have a lot more time available to read and research than if I was holed up in a lab somewhere. I also seem to meet more people who are seeking truth and knowledge in the arts anyway (sort of scary).
 
I work doing electrical design engineering as well as controls. Mostly for conveyor equipment. Don't like the 9-5 but the work itself isn't so bad.
 
Came to this thread late. Sorry

I have two very official looking cards and framed papers on the wall that say I, after apprenticeship, am qualified as a Journeyman Heavy Duty Mechanic in the province of Alberta with Interprovincial certification.

I spent 16 yrs in three agricultural machinery dealerships. The last seven of them as Service Manager. ( my soul crushing). The last 17 yrs self employed as a mobile farm mechanic and then I sold off my large equipment and mobile unit in 2004 and hired the "company" out to my home town golf course.

I have also been known to weld iron together into something imitating a machine. In one instance a diesel tractor engine got installed into an old Ford one ton truck and became my mobile unit for many of those seventeen yrs.

I've been known to poke around in a computer once in awhile too but mostly get myself in trouble!
 
I suppose this is a good place to say hello.

My first jobs had to do with communications, military and civilian, long-range (microwave and radio) and local (your friendly neighborhood telephone company).

Since the mid-70s I've moved more and more into the realm of discourse ... we no longer have the coffee shops of Thomas Paine's day, and the WWW is more heat than light, but we must persist!

At the moment I'm in stealth-mode trying to marshall my slight personal resources and cobble together a Web2.0 "evidence based discourse" system.

I've driven taxi ... I've played music on the street ... I've sold candles and clowned at fairs.

greetings and salutation!

Well, it's time for me to formally introduce myself on this thread:

http://quantumfuture.net/quantum_future

tells all about my work.

That page has a link to your official site: http://arkadiusz-jadczyk.org/index.html

Totally coy, as are all your other allusions to the same time frame! :rolleyes:
 
Currently I'm a Stay at Home Mom of 3 children, ages 3,5, and 13. This is by far the most difficult job I've ever had in my 43 years. Before this I managed medical offices, was a personal trainer, studied English literature/education, worked in a little retail and insurance.
 
I worked in bars and restaurants for 20 years, then finished my degrees and taught college for 14 years. I am now a full-time English Professor which gives me a lot of opportunities to integrate "wake up" information into my classes. I am generally cautious in my presentations, but one day when a black helicopter landed in my field I freaked and thought I'd gone too far until I realized they were air lifting my neighbor to a hospital for cutting off a finger!

Very interesting mix of artistic, scientific and technical types here.
I'm the scientific technical engineer type.

I wonder what a map would look like with little dots for each forum member?
Try this "free" software:

http://www.wefixit.de/services specifically you are looking for Vlocate.

It produces a map like this:

Hi Champ.pa

Though I have been ragged in the day, and sartorially glorious at night, bespeaking a former career in the arts, here I am known as Herondancer. (The many "i's" like their different names. Everyone needs three or four of them, eh?) ;)

Welcome! I am glad to see you here.

Herondancer

A new friend (she encountered something I wrote about "despair") pointed me to this forum; from what she wrote I anticipated material on "the work", and on psychopathology ("Ponerology" is a new term for me.) but your work is a surprise delight.

I hope sometime we can chat ... I'm having trouble with "quantum", feeling far more comfortable with non-linearity, dynamical balance, and "tipping points".
