What do you do for a living?

I am the Supreme Commander, so no one questions what I do.

Lab manager... some days you're the scientist... some days you're the rat. Today, I feel an irresistible urge to gnaw electric cords. It's gonna be a looooong week.

Garden consultant... this is where my heart is at, teaching others techniques for sustainable lifestyles that rely heavily on home-grown food, and, of course, medicine. I intend one day to open a B&B that offers weekend workshops in subsistence-level food production.

Woman in a bar, to Charles Bukowski:
"So, what do you do?"

Bukowski:
"I'm an interior decorator"

Woman's response:
"Don't talk filthy!"

Off topic for the thread, but anyway...

Last week I visited a "Market Garden" or "Market Farm" --- basically a one- or two-acre farm that grows crops for local farmer's markets and local specialty restaurants. The guy who is running it grows only heirloom varieties selected for exceptional flavor, not for high production or the ability to trasnport. He's committed to local food production. He's following organic practices but hasn't bothered getting certified because of the cost.

I was there with a group to see the composting operation, which is the key to his success. They make some big, hot piles! We helped them construct a pile that was roughly 5 or 6 feet on a side and at least 5 feet high. They rely on some amount of volunteer work and "work share" arrangements, so I will probably go back a few times in the summer for their Friday harvest parties, which they do before Saturday farmers' markets. You get paid in veggies. So, if this thread is about what you do for a living, I guess I'm one of those guys who will work for food. Ha ha!

So anyway, Stinky, if you set up your B&B, I will definitely come out for a weekend workshop. As a special gift to you, I will build you a "hot pile." And I'm thinking maybe you should try to set your place apart by offerring an upgrade to B&B&B --- Bed and Breakfast and Bongload.

Now, back to the thread. Up until about a year ago, I was a technical writer, doing mostly software documentation. Now I am an unemployed guy who posts on canncom, does projects around the house, does "house elf" duties such as laundry and grocery shopping and gardening, pursues interests, works for food, and attempts to decide what career to follow next. It's been a great year.

I think I can get you a consulting position at the B&B... Yuppies with blue license plates (CT, NY, RI) who head north to the mountains on weekends tend to have a bit of spare cash kicking about here and there... :D

It almost seems like if you want to have a good life and make a decent amount of money, you have to quite toking. What do you guys think, honestly.

I'm a Registered Nurse, but I'm on SSD at the present time, and probably will stay on it. I can't practice with MMJ anyway. Between SSD and LTD I do pretty darn good. I am still licenced. (Unless they see this and figure out who I am. LOL!) Sometimes I do miss it though. ;)
