What's new

your OTHER job.

hmm... someone asked me what I do the other day.. and I had to laugh coz I couldn't think of an answer.

I am a photographer, a boss, a book keeper, a sales person, a secretary, chauffer, a courier, a therapist, a person who gets yelled at for no reason, a problem solver - ie: fixes up major **** ups, a person keeping the economy going by buying heaps of gear, a bit of scum, a genius, a copywriter, an online marketer, a lame marketer in general... oh yeah... that's right I run a small business.
oh and I also work for practically the largest media company in the world... and if I have to see one more peice of corporate branding while I'm sitting at my own desk I think I'll smash a peice of office equipment like that scene in Office Space.

since we're talking degrees: i have an Associates degree in applied sciences to the degree of photography specializing in portraiture ( I think that's what it says) but really who puts their degree to work? I'm a receiveing clerk by day, mom the rest of the time, and in 11 years that degree i don't use will be all mine. :wink:
 
I watch a friends little ones when I can to help her out but for the most part photography is my job. i also am a mother to 3 little girls. I have between 2 and 5 sessions a week and it keeps us going. enought I get stuck paying taxes each year! LOL!
 
At one time photography was indeed my vocation as I served as a Photographer's Mate in the United States Navy (1977-82). I also managed a few one-hour photo labs in the early- to mid-1980s when one hour labs were the newest thing in photo finishing.

Now, however, my vocation is as a CNC Programmer. I write the programs that drive automated equipment in the structural steel fabrication industry.

About 80% of our fabrication is done for the petro-chemical industry. I live in south Louisiana and the business of petroleum is big time business down here as we refine anywhere from one-seventh to one-fifth of the gasoline, diesel and heating oil consumed in the United States.

I do still pick a few dollars here and there with my photography, however. Mostly from shooting softball and basketball team pictures for the local parks and recreation department.
 
Oh, I also do some affiliate marketing on the side *yawn*, so boring.
 
7 and a half years ago I won the lottery. 42 million.
 
Last year I also won the lottery. 84 million.
 
Hahahahahah NO! I don't do parking.. Never have, never will.. those guys are heartless.

It was you that gave me that ticket for being parked illegally last week in Port Credit wasn't it???

YOU SON OF A.....

:lol:
 
LOL! er....:study:
 
I'm a freshmen in high school =)

In Geometry class doing proofs as i speak. Anyone got any tips for these? haha, there hard!

Lets see ....
The 3 included angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees...

I can sum up a whole year of trigonometry in about 90 seconds:
SohCahToa!

Sin(X)= opposite/hypotenuse
Cos(X)=adjacent/hypotenuse
Tan(X)=opposite/adjacent

That right there is 99% of a trig class that lasts a whole year.

And remember: saa (side angle angle) can give you all 3 sides, as can sss and aaa...but if you use ssa, you make an @ss out of yourself! :lol:

I hate to post so much in a row (no I don't, who am I kidding!), but I have to say it...

Is anyone here a Marine Biologist!?
