    I'm a retired plumber. Finally got to the point in life when I don't have to live by the sweat of my labor. Now I'm remodeling my own bathroom [new tub, sink, toilet and tiles].

    I assemble furniture. Mostly
    I assemble flat pack furniture. Mostly flat pack furniture from companies like john lewis, asda, furniure123, tesco, homebase and the ikea assembly service. It is not the best of jobs but fitting knock down furniture is something that does make me happy. I used to do flat packs on my own, but after a while I became a furniture assembler at the fantastic furniture assembly company It is a medium sized company, which does mainly Ikea delivery, assemblage, every here and there furnishing dismantling and etc. Pretty much, long story short, that's it.

    Hey
    So cool to do what you love. I always say I do what I do so I can do what I love. I love watching people make glass stuff so interesting to see it take shape! I don't mind my work it certainly does not define me though. I wonder if I could find a job where I can be paid to hang with my dog dance and listen to music read books and write O and walk on the beach. :)

    My job
    I sell glass! I run an online website that displays my glass artwork and various other artists. I feel pretty fortunate to have a job in an artistic field. Especially making glass pipes and things for people to enjoy whatever they choose ;) What about yourself? And everyone else for that matter?

    Like most entertainers, I'm my favorite topic. But I shall spare you good people. I'm a magician. Guess that covers it.

    John Boehner is a Tool
    Of the tea party and of the other kind. He promised an up or down vote on the CR (Continuing Resolution on the debt ceiling) to Harry Reid and has been since roped into shredding the Affordable Care Act along with the rest of the Tea Party. Everybody has a heard at least some little thing about how bad it would be for the country to default on it's debt obligations. If this goes to November 1st then it is likely our debt would be downgraded, interest rates for borrowing would go up, and serious, ugly inflation would emerge. Not only that, it is sure the Chinese would move to become the world's reserve currency. The psychology of playing chicken is now being analyzed. It seems that each party has to be willing to drive it's car over the cliff. Not only willing but actively aiming to the point where it becomes too late to turn away. It will only be parties other than Obama and the Tea Party that can save us from doing a Thelma & Louise.

    That's really me, and everything is all OSHA and EPA regulated. OSHA actually comes in and fines the place once a year, and everyone stays fat and happy. They say that the carbon black is, and I quote, "No more harmful than the bleach under your kitchen sink". My reply was, "I'm not huffing bleach all day". 15 years under my belt come January. Been to the Vulcan. Nice connection!

Hey everyone in this awesome forum! 👋 I thought I'd introduce myself and share a bit about my day job. I'm a house painter based right here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia! 🇦🇺

I absolutely love what I do – transforming homes both inside and out with a splash of color and a touch of magic. From giving exteriors a fresh new look to adding personality to interiors, it's all about creating spaces that truly feel like home. 🌈🖌️

Currently, I'm part of a fantastic team at "Australian Painting and Maintenance Services Pty. Ltd." 🏢 Our crew is a bunch of skilled painters who take great pride in our work. We're all about delivering top-notch results, using high-quality materials to make sure our clients' visions come to life! 💪

If you're curious about our work or just love to see some impressive before-and-after shots, you can check out our website at australianpainting.com.au. We're always excited to showcase our projects and inspire others with our passion for painting! 🎉
Oh, and before I wrap up, I have to mention that besides my passion for house painting, I'm an avid Grateful Dead fan too! 🌹🎶 Their music has been the soundtrack to many of my painting sessions, creating a groovy and inspiring atmosphere. Some of my all-time favorite Grateful Dead songs are "Ripple," "Sugar Magnolia," and "Touch of Grey" - they never fail to lift my spirits! 🎵✨

Speaking of Australia, the Grateful Dead did have a memorable live show here! 🇦🇺🎤 In 1981, they graced the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, which was broadcasted live on the radio, reaching Deadheads worldwide, including us fans in Australia. Although they never performed a live show down under, their music and influence have certainly traveled far and wide, touching the hearts of many grateful fans across the globe. 🌏🌈 Keep on truckin', fellow Deadheads! 🚚💀🌹

So I just started my post-retirement gig with Trader Joe's
I love this place! The people, the employees, the food... all good!
If you have not been to a Trader Joe's in your area, go check it out and tell me what you think. Either way, I feel good about myself helping people find and prepare quality foods they'll enjoy at a reasonable price.

Engineering. First five years out of college was civil/construction in Eugene, OR. Since 1997 it's been software/internet/web in Boulder, CO. What a long strange trip it's been.
