A wide range of office work, including:

I use both MAC and PC in my many works.

I hope to have a little video piece to show you soon. It will be very short. I hope it will be fun for all to see.

I'll let you know.

I alos do work in facilities. I repair plumbing, electrical fixtures, and do a little property management for a local church in Garden Grove.

In my spare time I refinish furniture and I make my own clothes.

I used to be in media, SFX, theatre, I even set up a local cable tv channel in the UK (Reading) which was the more commercial/professional than the Wayne's World scenario.

Which was all very interesting but it didn't pay so I sold out and went self employed as a project manager (IT telco), which is less interesting but definitely does pay.

I work as a barista in a coffee bar called Costa at Birmingham Airport (UK). I stand around making coffee about twice a week (rest of the time im at university)and watch gorgeous air stewardesses walk past. I love my job!

Think of me as Gunther from Friends, but better looking!

[Qwerty]

What else is new?

3 o' clock in the morning working on a Great Expectations paper, gotta love it.

Have fun with that John.

i work at a peanut factory, monday to friday and on saturday i work at a chocolate factory, (thats why i am so fat) go to the 'what do you look life forum'!!

[[dark]]

I'm a full-time student doing a Bachelor of Communications. I also manage two Italian restaurants at night. In my spare time- ah, who am I kidding? What spare time?

Wow [dark] you've totally got it going on there!

Oh, man, the only thing more torturous than attempting your party trick has been my job!

I don't mind it, but nights like tonight I feel totally deflated. Dealing with five elderly intoxicated people who insist that they've paid when they haven't... well, it isn't the barrel of fun it sounds like.

I'm hearing some great jobs here guys (that especially includes Athena and Xenobia, and dark).

If it's so great, then how come I've been grumbling about it all night!

[Loomis]

Wow, an extra! What kind of projects did you do, Athena?

I'm in Deep Impact all over the place in the background... running and screaming and dieing

Really? That's cool. Any chance of any DVD screen grabs?

At the age of 12, I almost made it into the frame of the scene in A FISH CALLED WANDA where (if memory serves) Jamie Lee Curtis flags down a taxi. Almost, but not quite (I was invited to watch the shooting that day).

[ChandlerBing]

I made to the location in Twister where Helen Hunt's character's aunt lived in Wakita...alas, I was too late...about a YEAR too late! Woulda loved to have been there when they shot Helen Hunt's shower scene...

What I'm not crazy about at work is how some people totally order you around. I know that you do something when you're told to do it and I've no problem with that, but it's the way they say it sometimes.

[Athena007]

I work in the photo department of a great metropolitan newspaper. I color correct photos on the Mac before the photos get put into the paper.

Saint... I hate you (joke). Not really I'm just jealous

Got any screenshot?

Not at the moment. I just have the VHS, and with the equipment I have I can only screenshot DVD's. So I have to get the dvd first

Yes, I know what you mean. My OC's always tells me "did you clean the restroom?", "did you clean the liners?", etc; It's that tone that bothers and irritates ya, huh? I'm used to it. That's what concession is for in the movie theatre.

[philbowski]

I am a beer man. Miller, that is.

[Qwerty]

Yes, I much rather liked being asked to do something or told at least in a normal tone...rather then just assuming I'll switch any hours I have to accomodate them, but whatever. It's work.

[Bryce (003)]

"The world's my office!"

Actually, the World's my playground.

My office is here at Casa Bryce with the exception of when I travel to some random post-production house to take on overflow work. Nothing spectacular and no screen credit and frankly, that's fine. I've always preferred "Rich" over "Famous" - They don't have to go together. "Infamous" can be a bit of fun though...It just depends on where you don't want to ever return again...or be allowed to.

*ahem*

I chiefly work with Avid 11.5 and FCP4 and (at my Casa) do minor audio transfers and dabble with pics and .avi video/VHS/S-VHS/DVD/CD/Digital 8 and still the rare Beta/BetaSP and PAL. It is great having it all in the loft. 4 monitors and the flatscreen.

If one were to combine the hardware, software and experience 004 & I share in video and film, we'd probably put half the post houses in LA to shame.

To quote Sir Sean : "I think all work is honorable, but it is nice to get to a point in your life where you only have to work when you choose to on what you choose to."

For better (and some worse) I've gotten there at 36. When I work, it pays well.

When I play...

well....

"Watch & Learn Boys...Watch and learn."

[Xenobia]

Since we are talking about boys (again, Mr. Bryce makes Queen Xen ), and we are sharing...does this mean you are going to give us cookies and milk SA?

I agree. I hate it when I'm working to close the store and a supervisor will suddenly think it's a good time to pull me aside for a little chat abouit proper procedure. It drives me crazy how badly my store is run.

[Ezekiel]

I work as a pizza delivery guy in the week, [for Domino's] to fund my university course. Being a student can be a drag sometimes!

[Lady Templar]

I work as journalist for several papers and magazines in Brussels.

Jealous? You want to work for a newspaper?

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Working in the newspaper is great. Even though I'm only 17, I wrote movie reviews for my school newspaper last year. Unfortunately, we only printed out one issue because the rest of the class didn't give a crap about it...but I did...

Now I feel sad...

I worked for my college paper when I was going to college. I was one of the photojournalist. I just want to go big time now

Well good luck making it happen, Athena!

[Jim]

I work from home; God and all his mixed-up little demons bless the internet and email.

On nasty days, I work indoors. On nice days, I work outside under the oak tree overlooking the brook that runs along the bottom of the garden, and generally spend most of the time daydreaming and watching the wife's ponies (not a sexual euphemism) in the field over the water.

On nasty days, I work indoors and have to keep an eye out for the children creating difficulty and burning each other or selling each other or such childish pranks.
