    Default Proffessionals

    Ah, long time gone "get to know us better" threads....
    I was kinda missing them, so here you go:

    What are you working on (as in what is your proffession)?

    And if you could define your work in a few words, what would you say you do?


    Here's mine:

    Computer Science student. It is hard to say what I do, but definitely not what I'm supposed to... Well, working on a weather prediction engine right now...

    was a geologist working at nasa.. first worked on martian cratering characteristics using data obtained by the 'mars orbiter laser altimeter' (mola) which was an instrument on the 'mars global surveyor' (mgs). later, i started working on determining the capacity for the 'ice, sea, and land satellite' (icesat) to identify small-scale changes in climate-sensitive glaciers (small, tidewater glaciers) using the jakobshavn glacier in greenland as the case study.

    but i got bored and now i'm studying for law school.

    i've decided that 'working' is for chumps, school is where it's at!
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    Composer and musician. Unemployed at this time and "officially" unqualified. If I survive the coming June I'll be rushing for the university again (quit business school), to get myself "officially qualified" in what I am.

    As for description, I compose music that nobody listens.

    Teaching English at the moment. Don't know why really. Am thinking of going back to Uni also. Would have done so earlier, if I had had the money.

    Destruction of the natural environment.

    Ode to my saw

    Kill 'em, cut 'em, chop 'em burn 'em
    It's a wonder don't you see
    That the world would be a better place
    Without a single tree

    A little gas and a touch of oil
    Is all my saw requires
    To send a mighty tree to ground
    Right through the hydro wires

    My sweet chainsaw
    Your teeth so sharp at 10,000 RPM
    You are so quick at cutting trees
    My well tuned sharpened friend

    I love to see you resting well
    Upon a fresh cut log
    And my love to you my chainsaw friend
    Is second only to my dog
    Unto each good man a good dog
