I work for a University/College. Right now I am in the records dept. and am the assistant to the Graduation Officer. We just had our convocation ceremony. Talk about stress! Anyway, it was fun seeing all the students graduate. I also scan documents and work in the bookstore.

Professional Skate Bum who also has a job at the pro shop at the rink. The pay isn't great but the discounts (and the fact I can skate for free lots of times) more than makes up for it. I still can't believe they pay me money to play with skating dresses all day long.

Re: So What Is Your Profession?
I am a artist/craftswoman designing and producing custom made jewelry from sterling silver and beads. Also, I design and make a variety of decorative articles for people's homes. Most of the home decor items have beads worked into them as surface embellishments---pillows, lamp shades, wall hangings. I do some beaded wearable art, and also make floor cloths (those are not beaded,:lol: ).

Blue Bead, I am not sure what you mean by a floor cloth. A rug?

Re: So What Is Your Profession?
Grgranny, a floor cloth is akin to a thin rug. It is made from artist's canvas. The rug is hand-painted in any imaginable color and design from traditional to modernistic to wild :lol: . The edges are turned under and sewn, and then the entire piece is sealed both front and back with one to several coats of acrylic sealer to make them waterproof (one coat of sealer usually only makes them water-resistant. These floor cloths are used on both hardwood floors and laminate floors to defined and divide living areas of large rooms. They can also be use in smaller areas. Normally they come in standard rug sizes from 3 ft by 5 ft on up, but then can also be done in specialty sizes to fit odd shaped rooms or other areas. They can also be used as wall decoration.
They are perfect in homes or apartments where a family member is in a wheelchair, and would have much trouble rolling over a standard rug or thickly padded carpet.

I've never known a Meteorologist, except on TV News. I want to know more about your profession. Please tell me more.

I am the Records Officer for the Graduate School of a medium sized university in the mid-west. It sounds like Ladskater and I may do a lot of the same kinds of things.

Re: So What Is Your Profession?
What I do to be able to spend the rest of my life on the ice is:
Mainframe Operator aspiring to Systems Programmer. Basically I run a HUGE computer sytstem. I have been at the same company for almost 9 years. Moved to the night shift about 2 years ago, and it leaves lots of time for skating. I am getting into the swing of the vampire shift. I cannot bring myself to go to days because it cuts into skating too much.

By day my official title is Biotech specialist. I run (I should say I am) the DNA sequencing facility at my center. The fancy machines we have here make me look really good!
By night my title is "Mommy" (though I usaully try to sneak in some baseball games while on the job!)

Re: So What is Your Profession?
When I started working, I first worked processing change orders for a construction company in Kodiak, Alaska. After that I got a job processing security clearances for the Naval Investigative Service Office there. After my kids started grammar school, I started college and paid the bills by running swim programs for small VT towns in the summer and teaching off semester Latin and Greek classes for the Classics department. Finally, after grad school, I went to work for IBM for 24 years. Before I retired, I was an automated optical inspection engineer. Before that I worked on the development of laser ablation masks. Before that I worked with the development of electron beam pattern generators. And before that worked on the etching, deposition and oxidation routines in the IBM finite element process simulation program. I retired as of the first of this year, but after we get everything organized (selling old house, moving to retirement home, and other similar things) I will be looking for another job. This is too quiet.
