I tint car windows at an autobody shop. We do residential and commercial tinting too, but it's usually always just cars.
It's reeeal fun and easy. It's different working for a privately owned business, than something corporate like a grocery store. Much more slack and seemingly.. fun.
My boss and his friend (co-owner of the shop) are fuckin' hilarious too.
I love my job!

I'm a airline copilot (F/O) with ATPL, with nearly 2500 flight hours on an airbus A320, A319 and Dash-8. :)

I have an opportunity to progress to the A380 and now I'm training to get a certificate to be able to fly the A380. I have dreams of flying widebodies.

I'm still at a high school doing advanced higher maths, physics and music. Basically the purpose is to be better qualified for taking courses in those at university next year - I'd like to do a course called "Applied Music" but failing that I'm all up for a maths/physics degree too.

Christ on a bike, that is an -awesome- job Magi. Would explain your comings and goings through LHR. Looking at that photo I've just had an accident :D
I'll see you when the sun sets east, don't forget me.

EDIT- I also consider writing/recording/music to be work..seeing as how I've made (some) money doing that :P Need to get playing more shows though.
Haha, my parents are totally friends with a certain Mrs. Gamble.

Anyway, I move books around Stanford University Graduate School of Business Library half week as my summer job. Really, boring; books on cart, push cart; take books off cart; repeat.

And yes, thread necromancy.

Do you have a degree for that?
The addiction treatment field is still so new, no you don't. I've got a certificate and 7+ years of experience. The job pays for a degree in a different field though. :)
I did that for a year too in Holland.
In Holland you have to be (at least) a bachelor social work to do this job.

I work in marathon production, audiovisuel production fo tv, cinema. Im a post production assistant, the millenium trilogy movie, spy girls, documentary, telefilm...A lot of shit. But that's fun, it's a very big production, I can use a lot of expensive material, meet actors, directors...

But the system of the films production in France is shitty. I have see a lot of crazy things of the people who have to make programs, writers etc.
That's just a crazy mad band of bad men.

As of today, I also stab books with knives in order to disembowel them. I also get to keep any books I want. Makes me feel kinda like the King of Book-Land.
