So, besides obsessively reading chainlink...

What does everyone do for a living?

I work at a construction company on Ashland and Armitage as a project administrator - where swearing is a way of life, we drink too much coffee, work too hard, and party harder. I also do theatre work, mostly in management, and writing.

Mmm.

I do the communications for 40,000 union men and women in three states who swing a hammer for a living. I publish a magazine, some email newsletters and do ads and PR. I give fundraising presentations for an association of Sudanese - the Lost Boys who fled Darfur and Southern Sudan - who are now living in Illinois. I also work on political campaigns from time to time and then there is the whole, all-consuming photography thing. I used to be an artist making prints and then watercolors, but the immediate reward of photos - and that I can also do it on a bike - won me over.

I dust a bit...in addition, I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.

I work at an online University Registrar's office as a records auditor... boring boring and more boring... In my spare time, I am a songwriter of artistic ballads and perform under the psuedonym, "Jerry Falwell Is Dead", and also spend a lot of time on the streets and bike paths!@
