@JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...
What do you do…?

Hmm. Just found this thread.
I'm a mixed bag
I love to travel (I want my next big trip to be Antartica), came over to Europe in 2006 for university and then never went home. Something about the French language got it's hooks into me 
I studied Environmental Sciences, and minored in Green Urban Development. I went into the private sector for a while back in Switzerland and am now doing some contracted work as well as teaching English to kids because I enjoy it This fall will lead me back to Uni to finish a double major with Psychology (I will be rounding that out with a Masters in Human Sexology), and I'm quite thrilled to be a student again Outside of being a B slave to my girl, I love to ride horses - I've been an equestrian since before I could walk. As well, I am a published writer and enjoy writing poetry in Frangais. I'm never with out a book, not ever.
Currently in a deep Oscar Wilde & Colette phase. My next "hobby" will be to go down to Grasse for a summer and start taking courses on perfume, I'm really excited about learning the chemistry that makes up a fragrance. -
Lauren, I went to Grasse back in -88 asa teenager and oh my, what beautiful town..I loved it and all its perfumes..great hobby to aspire..

This for sure is the nut house. I do accounting for truck drivers done for 18 years and home day care also done 18 years and take care of my grandmother who is 91 years old. I do all accounting and ordering for my husbands shop (automotive repair). If that is not enough I have a 18 year old daughter and as of Sunday my son will be 13 another teenager sure am gald neither one was twins I may have run away. We then have the dogs and the bird. My daughter and I are doing online college together not want I wanted to do but if I do it I know she will and I do want her to have a better and good life. I going to be to old to do the college thing again with my son.
By way Basenjimamma you would love my car (SAAB) I liked it better than my BMW. We took it to St.Louis and back and I got 29.2 mpg I like that.

I have the most boring job i think, compared with everyone here. I work for Local government as a Quality Project Officer!
TheresaTheresa, i think we tie in the boring job department. its probably a good thing we have basenjis to keep our brains active!
Schouiffy, would love to read some of your franglais poetry - i used to do a bit of writing too, had a couple of poems published, and used to write sketches for a local comedy theatre group. Havent done that for years though - the closest i get to it now is the job of writing funny ditties for the inside of workmates birthday cards lol.

Yes Scott, there seems to be lots of people with really interesting jobs. It must be nice when someone asks what you do and then they say..really, what a fab job! I never had any idea what i wanted to do so just drifted into the more traditional office type thing. Never mind, better to have at least done something and at the end of the day, somebody has to do the boring jobs don't they
-
Whether the job sounds boring or interesting isn't important. If you're one of the lucky few who get up in the morning and looks forward to doing your job and works with people you actually enjoy having around, that's a GREAT job:)
(Of course coming home to the dogs is always the best part of the day:D)

Hi there!
I am the Vet Student on The University of veterinary and Pharmaceitical sciences in Brno, Czech. I spent all my free time at school or with my dogs, but I love it and wouldn?t change it to anything. Hope you all are doing job you enjoy, too:) -
I work at the post office, sorting and taking mail out to my customers.
I am lucky to have a Rural route along the Hood Canal…where I can see subs and many
marine transports.
I don't mind the work, if the bosses would just leave us alone...but they just can't. sigh -
I work on a Quarter Horse Breeding Farm.We breed Appendix and straight Quarter Horses.They are all Hunter under Saddle horses and I do all the ground work with the young horses.Handling when they are just foals and then working with them to get ready to be broke to ride.
It's alot of work as I also do all the barn work as I'm also the farm manager.
If that wasn't enough I also work at my friends poodle kennel 2x a day,helping with kennel chores and grooming.Then I also dog sit for 2 JRT everyday,(I just let then out)there dad works 3-11 shift and they need to get out before then.
Then I come home and take care of my crew of B's.

I do agree that it isn't just about the job you do but also the people you meet every day, be that going to work on the bus or the folk you work with. I would go mad if i stayed at home all day. I have a 19 year old daughter who is studying to be a microbiologist. I also need to work to keep her at university

I'm a customs co-ordinator for a trucking company at the Queenston-Lewiston border crossing 5 days per week. I also groom 4 days a week right now. Plus I have 3 adult children at home with the husband and 5 dogs, 2 cats. I also have a grandson I take care of every other Sunday. Count in editor for the BCOC newsletter as well as researching various things. So I am left with very little time.
