While we our Simply Scripters by night, how does everyone one here etch out a living?

Me, I run newspapers on the weekend.

I wash my neighbor's cars for ten dollars a week.

Professional Football Player, but that's only when I'm day dreaming on the toilet. In reality I'm a Community Development Worker.

I work in the Help Desk for Customer Service for a cell phone provider called U.S. Cellular. And yes, I do have a cell phone with free service and unlimited minutes. And this is my night job working 4pm-1am Central Time. I don't have a day job.

Quoted from George Willson And this is my night job working 4pm-1am Central Time. I don't have a day job.

You're off topic then George. Lol.

Well, if someone started a thread called night jobs, that would get out of hand too quickly...although it would probably be all true.

I work at the local pharmacy/drug store.

I hand out medacine and sweep. Isn't that interesting?

Indeed it would.

Bigwhoop is a drug dealer. That is interesting.

Quoted Text Bigwhoop is a drug dealer. That is interesting.

Yes. Yes it is.

I work in a homebrew and winemaking shop.  And I write professionally.


Phil

My dayjob is using my parent's electricity.

I'm the assistant manager at a retail store which means that I am the all around person who knows how to do everything that has to be done there, and they use it to their full advantage. At a regular day at work I am a banker, a stocker, a bouncer, a day care provider, a psychologist, a nurse, a home decorator, and a fashion coordinator.

I also prepare taxes during tax time.

Cindy

I don't have a day job. I am a lazy bastard. Summer's coming soon though so I'm sure that'll all change.

I work down at Channel 10 here in Goldsboro as an intern (aka whatever they want me to do...for free!)

So I don't get paid, but who cares...one of my short films was shown on TV the other day, so its all good.

I'm a plant manager for a large wholesale bakery.

Quoted from FilmMaker06 So I don't get paid, but who cares...one of my short films was shown on TV the other day, so its all good.

You're also 14, which is the perfect time to be doing an unpaid intern type job. I didn't need the income, I'd be all over something like that.

Well, I'm a type of house-husband, house cleaner, advertising art director(freelancer), at nigh I'm a drinker and good lover (in my wife words!) and sometime unemployed like thousand of brazilians that works freelancer in art in general...Oh a guy very happy inspite all bad things around me!

Yeah, my dear, this is why I'm living under the Ecuador's line!

Before I got laid off I was actually a Night worker and a weekend writer. Now I only work 2 days a week for 15 plus bucks an hour in a factory that's moving to mexico because Canada hates its citizens.

The Mexico company wants some of our people to come down and help train them, only catch is they only want women.

I make airbag filters for your cars, our motto. "Every part you make could save a life, it may be yours" I'm all for making people feel safe but I've seen first hand the second rate jobs that go into making this stuff.

I also worked in another plant where we made car seats for Chevy and certain other companies.

Wes,
I know how you feel about your job going to another country where they can get cheaper labor. It's happening here a lot. Along with the cheaper labor there is a cheaper quality of materials being used for these jobs. They still want us to purchase their product though.
I say everyone go back to the horse and buggy, plant more trees so that we can burn wood for warmth and use wood to cook with, and to hell with those idiots who are trying to bleed us dry.
Off topic, but it's irritating, ya know?

Quoted from Heretic I work at Walmart.  Don't like it.  Will be gone soon. On the plus side, my ex-boss (I recently switched jobs within the company) is extremely attractive.  She's fifteen years older than me and married, but I think I've got a shot.   She even bought me chocolate.

Watch her husband don't punch you on the nose dude.

There's only one golden rule, don't mess with married women, because it splits families and it doesn't seem to be good for the kids.. Know what I mean..

Restrain yourself, its called discipline and self-restraint..

You naughty young man!

Domino's pizza

Male stripper.

I see this has been merged to a larger thread now, so i guess i can be serious...

Garbage man, $15 an hour and all you can eat.

Design and development of implemental and compelling strategies to further our position within my territory.

Fancy for Marketing Director.

Shawn.....><

sounds like a good job

Aaron,
Believe it or not, I actually do love my job. Who ever claims that anymore?

Shawn.....><

Got a good point man. I know a lot of people who despise theirs. Well good for you man.

Working at Dominos isn't anything special, but i like it
Much rather be working in Hollywood though

You know Aaron, Dominos is a great company and someone once told me, if you enjoy what you do, you never work a day in your life.

As for Hollywood, keep plugging at it. You have talent.

By the way, I like your breadsticks. That and some ranch dressing and I am so in my element.

By the way, PHIL, we very much have something in common with regards to your job. Im big into beer, wine and vineger. Even done my own version of balsamic. Very tough but i love the aspect of producing these things at home.

Shawn.....><

Hey thanks man

The essence of a truly happy marrage. I am sure he is a very happy man.

Shawn.....><

P.S I hope he returns the blessings.

My job is to keep my wife, 2 sons, maltese, rabbit and guinea pig happy, the rodent being the easiest, as lettuce=joy.

Otherwise, I'm paying some dues working at a local high school while I try to re-career into teaching (got my certifications, but jobs are still hard to come by)

My life is currently stuck in the mud... I went from 10 years of self-employment back to working for the man at barely survivable wages. I only started writing a year or so ago (wish I had started sooner) and I currently work full time in the Copy, Print, and Design center of an Office Depot.

Blakkwolfe,

maltese, rabbit and guinea pig sound like three kids, not two. Wait, no, I'm sorry. It's just sometimes my kids were animals and I had a trandferance moment there. LOL.

Man do I feel your pain on the job end. My wife is so over qualified and still has had wall after wall thrown up.

Best of our prayers for you and yours man.

Shawn.....><

This just seems to become closer to my heart as this thread evolves. I owned my own company for 6 years. It tanked thanks to some fuckers on 911. I was in the home theater business.

Did a stint wint with OD and moved on to get some sort of order back in my life.

Keep the faith man. Write, and never lose faith in the fact that a day job is just that, but writing is something else. A passion, a dream and a means to always have something to look forward to.

Shawn.....><  

I have to keep my dog happy... Needless to say we go through alot of peanut butter...

Oof, even I found that to be in bad taste...

Senior real estate analyst - our client is one of the giant telecomm companies, and I lead a team of four analysts.

Personally I dig. Holes. Big ones. The wages are frankly, and realisically none existant. Typical. Still. I do.

Ho hum. Could be worse. Could be fecking better too. Holy wood? Do I have to pray?

L&P

Rx

Aviation underwriter (that's, like, insurance).

House husband and nightfiller at a supermarket. Part time writer and full time Beatle nut.  Smart arse Aussie every now and then.

RV, you dig big holes? Do you work for British roads or sumfink? serious question, btw...

Quoted from stevie RV, you dig big holes? Do you work for British roads or sumfink?

It's either that or mass graves. Come to think of it, I wouldn't put either one beyond, ren, you know?

Quoted from stevie House husband

You married a house?

Ah. There he is. We love Sniper.

I have dug the odd grave in my time. Usually my own. These days I always wear running shoes. Upon a night out they can often aid my swift exit. Arse!

R

Quoted from sniper You married a house?

No, my missus bought the house and I came with it!  Good to hear from you again, Snipe. A belated happy birthday for the other day!  Not long till the World Cup now!!

RV you old gold digger!!   But seriously (sorry to call you seriously) I'm intrigued about these naffing big 'oles you dig...

I married a house once. The sex was rather painful. The conversation was somewhat stilted. Still, it was easier than living with a woman.

Now. Holes. I like holes.

I dig them. Sometimes metaphorically. Actually, often metadoodah.

Sometimes physically. I've been digging holes for various reasons since I was sweet sixteen. As Billy once sang. Good tune that.

Pays well too. Tho it pays crap at the moment. Still, that's not a problem. There's more to life than cash. Unless it's Johnny, God rest his immortal soul.

I write scripts in me head while I do it. As I do it mainly on automatic. It's handy holding a shovel in one's hand all day. If some eejit talks shite to ya you can always give the fecker a tap on the head with it. That usually changes the tone of the conversation.

I hasten to add I save that particular for very special occasions. And very special eejits.

Peace and love. Piece of peiss.

R

I work as a Mechanical Engineer.

My day consists of hiding behind my desk and degree pretending to know what I'm doing and look busy doing it...which is a full time occupation in itself.

I work for the man, meaning the US guvmint, meaning law enforcement.

Fucked around plenty on this thread. Honestly, I'm a machinist. I also own a DJ service. Hence jwent. JW Entertainment.

Sniper,
You didn't by chance underwrite a pair of SHORTS 360 medium cargos that collided over Wisconsinin in Feb, 2007 did you?

Shawn.....><

Quoted from Ledbetter Sniper, You didn't by chance underwrite a pair of SHORTS 360 medium cargos that collided over Wisconsinin in Feb, 2007 did you?

Nope, cos' I don't do US business.

Just checking. I knew them.

I'm a student studying film media and journalism, although if these exams go the way I think they went I might not be any more. And I'm also in TA about to start training.
