You made your own car go boom too.
Sure did! :lol

I suppose working with Mumbling on our latest song project counts as a "current job", too. :p

Okay, here's my work details:

Location:  My Home. :p

Description:  I repair computers for others, create websites, and backup&upgrade systems.

Current wage:  $20 hourly.  I charge so little because it brings the people in in HOARDS!  I can be repairing up to 10 computers at once which makes $200 an hour, however I usually only work on 4-7 computers at the same time.  It's really hard to work on more than 7 computers at once, but I've done it before.

Good things that can happen:  I get someone in who's TOTALLY computer illiterate.  They always have a lot of work that needs to be done because they don't even know how to defrag their disks or some crap.

Bad things that can happen:  Okay, when I have their computers, if something goes wrong with it, they ALWAYS blame me even when it's not my fault.  I've only screwed up one computer and that's when I was helping them bring it into my shop.  The stairs were slippery and I fell and dropped the computer onto the concrete.  Totally broke the HD.  I replaced it free of charge and it didn't cost much seeing as it was only 30gb.  Unable to find a 30gb one new, I just installed an 80gig for the poor old man. :lol
Repairing computors for a living :D and creating websites too. That sounds like a nice job! :yes

I got a a job! I got a job! :birthday  :lol  :DD  :D  :)
Today I got a phonecall informing me that my application has been accepted. From September 15th on I will work as a librarian in the historical library of the university here in Bochum :)
I will work for less pay than I would have claim to by the official "rules" but I am not after tha job because of the money but rather because I want to have a foot in the university's door so to speak.

That is great, I am sure you'll do well in the job.  Plus I would guess it'll be a quieter job then some, and there are lots of books there too.

On Monday I started my new job at the historical library of the university :)
Today is my second day at that job (it is always Monday and Wednesday from 11am to 4pm). So far my task is to check out the list of missing books for books which have reappeared on the shelves (they may have been put on the wrong shelves and been recorded as missing, "vanished" beyond the first row of books, or returned by a remorseful thief) and make sure that the books on the shelves I'm checking are in the right order.
It is not a fulltime job beside the studies of course, but I earn almost exactly as much as I may without having to pay income taxes for it. I'm curious about which further tasks are in store once I finish the missing books list :yes

I don't know if I ever updated my status in this topic when I got a new job.  I'm currently a special education teacher in an alternative school.  Basically, the kids here are here because their normal school district did not have the services to accomodate their special needs (or didn't know how to manage their behaviors).

Well, I am actually, not an adult so I don't exactly work officially...
But I consider school as work, so that's my occupation..
Though I'm having a work-week in week 5, and I'm gonna go and check out the petshop on Byhaven....

I would consider gong to school wither elementary, jr high, high school, or even college & university as a job also.  That is just me though.  I'm sure some do not.

College stuff--all that is asked of you constitutes a job and more. :p  Not always easy, I will say that.  Its a job because there is value to what you do and you earn something in return.
