Ok, I'm curious. What does everyone in here do for tuna money? I'm a "freeway flyer" (a part-time college professor at several different colleges who cobbles together a full time load by driving all over the region). I usually end up teaching 6 classes per semester on 3-4 different campuses. I teach Anthropology- my normal course load is heavy on Physical anthro, the anthro lab that goes with it, and Cultural anthro. I also teach Indians of California and Archaeology as well as Magic, Witchcraft & Religion. My husband is a flight nurse with an air ambulance company.

Well my job title is still "programmer", but I'm really more of a database person, working in public health/epidemiology research at a university. I work on several projects, but the one that takes up most of my time is maintaining followup data on people who've taken part in a rather long-running series of community health studies which started back in 1966. In a ghoulish mood I've been known to describe chronic disease research as "well we get all these people to fill in questionnaires and have their height, weight and blood pressure measured... then we wait patiently for them to die of something interesting." Is your project similar to the US Framingham or Nurses' studies, or does it have interesting differences? |

we have some, ok a lot, of computer geeks, educators (or what passes for one) and so forth. Before desktop publishing was ever heard of, I was a "typesetter." There's a word you don't hear anymore. More recently I managed the art department at a metro newspaper and did ad design / layout, page layout, etc. Then my health just didn't allow me to work anymore. Now I think I'm what you call a recluse. Sherry |

We just had a tech retire who tested T1 span voltage with his fingers because he didn't want to bother getting out his meter. I'm like you--I have had more than enough. It doesn't stop me from getting more though. They're irritating, and they make me say bad words. L. Then I take it he probably, as I still do, tested 9-volt transistor batteries with his tongue. It's a simple test really -- just take the battery and touch the terminals with the tip of your tongue. If it feels like you wouldn't mind doing it again, toss the battery. Regards and Purrs, O J |

There's a word you don't hear anymore. snip My mom was a typesetter when she was young too, building up the text from the individual characters made out of metal. Then she went on to doing it on computer-like machines, not so computer-like in the beginning tho, they were loud machines as they operated on pressurized air, punching holes into a ribbon of paper - that was the text. In her later years and up until she retired, she worked in sales - selling printed products such as business cards, forms, letterhead papers, whatever anyone would want to have printed.
