I work with...
a nine(almost ten!!!) year old diagnosed with high functioning autism.
and a day care center for children up to the age of five.
and sitting for friends occasionally in exchange for extra green papers

The majority of adults either infuriate me or make me feel depressed, so I try to avoid them as often as possible  ;)

I’m a “qualified” oenologist… who never practiced that job and forgot about all about it, thus totally incompetent. Became a truck driver, truck owner, truck driver again. Traveled a lot with trucks and otherwise: in 1976-77 I loaded in England for Baghdad, Bassorah or Kuwait City, back to England with 20 tons (total gross weight in England limited at 32 tons at the time… well I was in overload there because 15 t empty plus 20 t = 35 t) of hazelnuts loaded at Ordu (Turkey) on the Black Sea coast. (Never ate a single hazelnut from my load because cheese was easier and faster eaten!). Went also to Ukraine, at the time part of Soviet Union and to all European countries except Poland, Czechoslovakia and Norway. Lived a few years in Sri Lanka, jobless but coming back to Switzerland in summer to drive bloody fuel tank trucks.  

Actually automotive technical writer, working at home.

Done. Photoshop : Image > size > width (750 px for example) > File > Save for web > adjust ko (less than 100 ko are enough for the web).

 The problem is that so many kids are not "fresh" there is a growing population of kids that are just fucked, from the beginning, probably for the rest of their lives(if you want to call it that). Earlier this year, I couldn't handle it. I was breaking down on my off time, and ended up taking a few months off. The depression this produced played a big part in driving me to try things like... eating raw flesh. Now I am more focused and feel as if I am getting much more done, but I can only do so much for kids running on canned soup and birdfeed.

ya it makes u nuts focusing on the SAD people. i have kinda become a bit of an introvert, cause ppl dont undrestand me or a like scared of me, and i dont care to befriend many ppl my age (21) as they all just facebook and SAD fastfood, weekends are only about drinking. I think i found a cute nerdy girl that in my one class that is outside the box which is good. i am only gonna get married if the woman shares my lifestyle/beliefs of RZC.

Jack in the box and brew made from hops, seems to satisfy most. I would just say fuckem but their apathy is allowing the parasitic imbalance(tyranny) we see today. I choose to find ways to build children's self confidence, once I get a little older I plan on working up the nerve to do presentations, globally if possible. Being 20 however, it is not that easy or should I say damn near impossible, to suggest to parents how to better do their job. Even if I have grown up in a daycare observing children my whole life.

I have embraced a spiritual/worldly existentialism that allows me to stay grounded while exploring the sublime of possibilities, and my true calling has turned from being a nihilist misanthrope into a visionary who uses the depths mind to envision a better way of life. I will use that vision as a template by which I raise my children and interact with the world. I have been hurt by the awareness of whats happening amongst the general population and I make it my duty to not allow my children to be damaged and made weak in the ways I have seen countless others culled. So far so good My three children have huge round heads, and are wonderfully constituted and are being guided in ways which I will hope cultivate an open spirit and powerfull mind. My fourth child is due in march and will give me a total of, One son and three daughter, (Aldous ,Madelynn, Charlotte, and Amilia). My woman is a cute nerdy girl that wanted to have a family and I was drawn to her after seeing her just once , and when her brother said offhandedly I think she wants a baby I just knew she was the one. Its rare to find a smart well read girl who wants to settle down early in life and raise a family, so I jumped at the first opportunity to ask her out. We hit things off right away and once I realized she was into off the chart learning and loving she became my life long partner, we are five years into this thing called habitual breeding and with 4 kids seem to be working overtime.

The other half of my calling is to maintain a large family within this world of non existant values and with little help from others, maintaining a healthy family structure in a day when the majority of people are  breaking away from traditional responsibilities is a full time job in itself, I barley have time to post and that being said I am going to be late for work, I started the Mexican restaurant and have to be there preparing the forms for the parking lot lights.

You should play WITH people, too!

If you're anywhere near Canberra, you should hook up with my buddy Bill Quinn (he does a little of everything).

SD, I agree with that. My playing skyrocketed when I started down that road.

My 2 cents (for what little it matters) is follow your passion first. Hone your craft, then learn to monetize it.

Of course, my opinion is extremely biased.

Well you do win for the best job!

You can also find a job that accomodates your passion outside of work. I'm still trying to find my niche, something I can focus and be good at and in demand.

Thanx...though it's really only the best job for me. Wouldn't work out so well for someone who doesn't like music (hahaha!) or dislikes the idea of self-employment.

Yeah, the polar opposite of my plan also works for many I've known: Go for whatever pays for the lifestyle you're happy with, and keep your passion completely separate from your livelihood.

SD,
Interesting thought and well said.

I love music and almost went in that direction but didn't. I don't consider that to be good or bad. It's just what I did.

Whatever you do, it has to be something that you love enough that you are more than willing and able to do with enthusiasm.
Cheers
Al
