What do you do for a living?

I work as a fire inspector for two municipalities in PA. In my spare time I am also a volunteer firefighter

When last answered the question I said this (more or less): I worked many years in the automotive industry in technical writing and publications until it all went ka-ka. Was more or less forced into "retirement" and am now using my creative talents to create calligraphic items including some clan themed things (think the clan badges). I have been doing craft and art fairs for the past year and have my own web site now. Also work part time in a little shop selling fabric.

Well, there is an update from the last time I wrote about what I did. (Deep breath here) I am a psychic. One of the things I used to do when I lived in the big city was working with the police using my talents as a kind of consultant, sorta. When I returned to my home town, I put all that behind me. There is not much call for that out here in cow country. Then last fall I got a call for some help from the Sheriff's office. So now I do some work for them again as needed. It's not like on TV but I have a lot of interesting stories that maybe someday I will write down.

I work as a Corrections Officer. Build boats as a hobby, well, just one so far, more when the wife says I can have the garage back for a while

Yes i do. http://www.geocities.com/celticgypsygraphics/ It still needs a lot of work so keep checking back. if you click on the main items (Desk Toppers, etc) you will go to another page. I have been working on the Scottish side of the page and will have some of that up within the next few weeks. This is all new to me. When i did web site while working in tech pub, I was given all the info and such so i really didn't have to think to much about what was really needed - i just designed the pages. Now i have to think them thru so it takes me a little longer. Plus it is a free site so there are limitations.
