What do you people do ?

[Dreadful Scathe]

What do you people hanging around on the forums all day actually do for a living. I think we ought to know.

Course I just have regular breaks from my busy schedule :).

Me, I hang out on the Forum for a living :na: It's a tough job, but someone has to do it :cheers:

As an aside Emma, I wonder if you ever considered showing some of your prints at a Ceroc night!? If Boogie steps can sell shoes, why not sell dance-inspired prints on a dance night! :waycool:
As long as I can get one of the prints as commission :yum:

Franck.

[CJ]

As a Ceroc employee, it's important for me to, em, uh, well, er, mmm.

Aha. Keep abreast of the pulse and see what's going down and keeping my ears peeled to the ground so I can best respond to the public demands (though, lynching is one I try to avoid.)

[Lorna]

I'm not sure what to put down, help me out Franck!

I'm a music teacher but am on a career break at the moment. Now a full time domestic goddess and mum to my gorgeous wee tootie, Lauren. She sleeps for at least 3 hours throughout the day which means that I can surf all day. We actually had to get one of those monthly packages to pay for all my web surfing.

Oh yeah also a ceroc teacher! :wink:

lotsa love Lorna x-x

[Dreadful Scathe]

i think you just demonstrated what to do if theres no correct option :) it'll be interesting to read the broad range of backgrounds :)

Or is it all change since the birth ? All this web surfing .... we tell our students off for that kind of thing !

And although I'm also in education ( I teach as part of my job) most of my time is spent in my office so I have to time to check. But it's legit ( honest) we cna use the internet during our breaks and at lunchtime. :na: :D

[Stuart M]

Here's an embarrassing fact I just worked out: the top 20 posters account for about 75% of all the posts on the Forum...:sorry

Interestingly that 20 includes the only 2 people who ever said "Oi! Get back to work!" in posts to the Forum, if I recall correctly :wink:

As it happens, I've been thinking of doing exactly that. I'd love to have a show which turned into a dance night...hadn't thought of doing a Boogie Steps though..interesting...:grin:

[Keith]

As I am self employed & a partner in Chance 2 Dance, I also feel it my duty to keep abreast of what's new in the dance world.
Also starting a brand new dance venture, which hopefully will help bring the dance world together as one harmonious family. A little like everyone on this forum :wink:
Think of me as the UN of dance, trying to make it a happier world :kiss:
Mind you it does take about an hour out of the day, any accountants out there, that can make this tax deductible.

Aha - caught you voting yourself a studious student, xxxxx. All I can say is, not on the evidence of last week. :wink:

[Wendy]

Some of you may have seen the TV show on BBC2 called the Life Laundry - well that is what I do - except I don't have a crusher and a team of people to help behind the scenes !!

For those of you who haven't seen it, I help people declutter (garages, lofts, offices ... sock drawers and cupboards under the stairs !! ) and then design practical storage solutions to help them stay organised.

So if you need stylish storage for all those dancing shoes, give me a calll - discount for CEROCers of course :wink:

Well I am a part time forum chatter. Work 3 days a week in a very conventional office which has just got access to the internet:grin: Up till now I usually only go on the forum the 2 days I don't work but now I run the risk of getting sacked as I will be "dropping in" the other 3 days. :na:

Ooooh! Wendy! I could do with you for my under the stairs area! :wink: :what: (oops - that sounds far ruder than it's meant to!)

I've worked in IT for about 13 years (which is very scary when it's put like that). I'm now a project leader, speciallising in Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing, but I used to be a web designer, until it stopped paying good money! :tears: I miss the design element of that job.

[Curtain]

I'm a wanna-be web designer, but after Lou's comment I think a change of vocation is in order. I'm meant to be studying, but finding it soul destroying - might change my perspective as a result.

I hear technical authoring pays well ... erm, I mean ... can be professionally satisfying. I'll really have to forget about this website and get on with reality.

Forums! Threads! Posts! Arrgh! It's becoming an entity onto itself, a culture, a community, a way of life. I think I need help!! Will everyone stop posting? Please??

[Will]

I work for a company that offers 3rd party network solutions.

I am a network Security engineer, working with Firewalls and the like.

I think it depends on what parts you do - if you're into the real techie stuff & happy to code in VML, etc., and concentrate on lots of the back-end stuff like databases & security, you'll get paid a fortune. It's just the nice pretty stuff, plus the usability aspect, that I used to concentrate on, that's now not as valuable. Shame, really, 'cos there's some bloody awful websites out there (not this one, though, thanks Franck! :wink: )

Hi All,
I'm a Mechanical Engineer, (spanner wrangler) in a large third tier auto-motive press shop.
None of this sitting arround all day watching a V.D.U blinking on and off, shining the bum of my trousers in a big comfie chair.
Although I think all you techies probably do a valuable job for someone somewhere.

I LOVE this program and want the book for my Christmas!!!!! So we have the Life Laundry and the Domestic Goddess (Love this program also) - all we need is What Not to Wear and I'm sorted!!!! (Well apart from Sex in the City!!!! - which we obviously have covered already)!

As for what I do - I'm a software product manager - there that says it all!!!!

Donsn't any body out there have a non techie related job :D
Like working on the delli in tescos or in a shoe shop or god forbid in a factory?:confused:
It seems like evey body is either a techie or a teacher!:yum:

[Tiggerbabe]

Well Alfie - don't know if this counts but sometimes it feels exactly like a factory (worked in a few of those during summer hols when a student:tears: :tears: ).

I work in the Benefits Overpayments Team of the Local Council Office - having recently been promoted from the Recovery Department of the same Council - Both highly popular jobs with the public as you can imagine............:mad: The main perk is that the office is only 5 minutes from my house and it means I can come home at lunchtime having collected my younger son from school (and also walk the dog).

However :sorry I am also a qualified primary school teacher (long time ago!)

My sister works in Tesco's though:D :D

I have this passion you see - it called dancing and it kind of gets in the way of the jobs to do list:sick: :sick:

I work as a minion for a Hedge Fund

[azande]

I do tech support/inside sales in a company that manufactures elettromechanical and electronic sensing products.

[under par]

I work as a minion for a Hedge Fund

In this role do you ever feel you come between the different fields of finance, Oh Lordy One?

[LordOfTheFiles]

In this role do you ever feel you come between the different fields of finance, Oh Lordy One?

Absolutely not. I know my boundaries

[LMC]

I used to work for BTCV (where I learned, amongst other things, hedge-laying :whistle: ) - now am PA to a nice but exhausting boss who owns a recruitment agency and does a lot of charitable work - I also manage the trust that he chairs.

All that should keep me out of mischief, but doesn't.

[Little Monkey]

I play with clay. Sometimes I even get paid! However, that's not very often....

[JonD]

I'm a capitalist exploiter of the masses - but not a very good one.

[LordOfTheFiles]

I'm a capitalist exploiter of the masses - but not a very good one.

Morally or financially??

[JonD]

Morally or financially?? Both. If I were any good I'd be a fat plutocrat, dining on dainties, as my staff are ground on the wheel of commerce. I'm getting better on the financial front but our Bank Manager recently described my Business Partner and I as running a commune. I really must learn how to exploit people properly so they are suitably downtrodden and obsequious - this bunch smile and laugh too much and are far too irreverent. That's the problem you see; you just can't get the staff these days.

[LordOfTheFiles]

That's the problem you see; you just can't get the staff these days.

The problem is you can't BEAT the staff these days. I blame the Unions, and to a lesser degree the stick manufacturers

I work in leukaemia research - if we find a cure I'll be sure to let you all know *sigh* :(Another biomed scientist - I work in multiple sclerosis research. Again, charity funded, but part of UCL.

And, because I'm only in the teething stages of my PhD and my supervisor doesn't really know what he wants me to do yet, I occasionally get lots of time to sit and chat to you guys on the forum!

I ticked the 'Studious Student', in the hope that I can actually stir myself to do some work next semester... :what:

I'm also self employed as a DJ, and MJ teacher to pay my way through university without adding more to the hideous debt I already have :tears:

As little as possible and still hoping to get away with it. :)

[Icey]

I work in finance for a company that builds and runs retirement communities, I'm also working on ACCA so that I can be a chartered, certified accountant and be really dull :)

The rest of the time - I'm a microbiologist:really: yes I know - somebody has to be....

I spend huge amounts of time doing two other people's jobs aswel as my own when really I just want to be dancing:grin: on holiday athough at the mo hence the time to manage to post 5 messages in two weeks!

ANy super heroes on the forum? Catwalk models? astronauts?

See you later

Ticked IT, but could have ticked education (had there been a more general category than teacher) as I am a tiny cog (web cataloguer - does what it says) in the massive wheel that is the Scottish education Quango (aka Learning and Teaching Scotland) where I help create teaching resources for our website.
