What do you do?

[Adriana Rose]

Now I am stay at home mom, a full time garland slave and I make and sell little monsters at local crafts faires oh and I clean a private home.

I'm a seamstress in the campus costume shop, making the costumes for the plays here at Kansas State. That's my during the week job. I'm also a waitress for the suite boxes at the football games on game days (usually weekends, but there's a game tomorrow night as well)

I'm also a full time student getting my degree in technical theatre. Emphasis on props and costumes. I like props better, but don't tell that to my costume shop boss/teacher

[KeeperoftheBar]

I am a CPA and the unit controller for an aircraft galley inserts sales organization responsible for sales in the western hemisphere.  You know those drink trolley's that flight attendants push up and down the aircraft aisle?  We sell them....(among other things).

Part time - violinist/ concertina player for The Brigands ( 2011 will be our tenth year together!).

I'm a Police Officer in Toronto, Ontario, up in the Great White North.  Been one for 14 years, longer than I have been visiting Faires.  Funny, now that I look at it, it's prolly the closest thing to a modern day Knight that I can think of, I guess it was meant to be.

Within policing, I have been a Forensic Crime Scene Investigator going on almost nine years.  I received my Lead Homicide Investigator status almost seven years ago, and have sub-specialties in Chemical- Biological- Radiological- and Nuclear Weapons/attacks (that's your Weapons of Mass Destruction), Post-Blast (after the explosion) scene investigations, Arson and Fire Cause Determination, Blood Spatter Pattern Interpretation (that's right, no "L" in spatter), Recovery of Decomposing Human Remains (that's the buried in shallow grave stuff) and HUSAR and Post-Disaster Investigations (Heavy Urban Search and Rescue).

I love my work, and I have a little of both OCD and ADHD (self-diagnosed) which all contributes to me being a workaholic with attention to detail, with multiple major cases on the go at the same time.  We work on a rotation, with the end being we work an average of 40 hours per week.  In the last two weeks I have worked an additional 48 hours of overtime.

We do more than eat donuts and write tickets, but that's another thread.

[LadyStitch]

Robert I tip my hat to all cops and people in the military.

Me I am an office assistance for a large retail corporation. I manage a sample room, and front office.

For the past 4 years I've also been a professional theatrical seamstress.  In other words you show me a picture of something I can pretty much make it provided I have the time, money, and your measurements.   The difference between a theatrical costumer and a regular seamstress is that a seamstress carrys around a sewing basket, a techie costume also carry's around a tool box as well. One minute I make vintage 1940's gowns replicas, to making 6 foot tall killer mutant leeches costumes, to creating headresses for a mermaid queen.

[metalcelt]

Notary Public who specializes in mortgage loan closings

Because the market is slow, I picked up a 2nd job delivering Pizzas

I am also a musician at Faire and outside playing celtic music

[Lord Clisto of York]

When not acting or performing at faire or elsewhere, i am a Production Control Analyst. Definitely got to have something to support this hobby lol....

[DeadBishop]

I'm a photographer, i.e. a starving artist.  Still haven't found a "real job" yet, even though I work at a retail camera store chain/studio.  Back in the days of film, photography was my real job, but with the advent of high quality, affordable digital cameras, everyone and their dog and uncle is a photographer now, almost making me obsolete.  I still completely enjoy it as a hobby, it's just not sustainable for me anymore. 

[Blue66669]

I'm a mom, and a college student persuing a Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Previously, I was an executive assistant for the Vice President of Research and Technology at International Paint (a division of Akzo Nobel).

I have worked at TRF and Sherwood Faire- one season at Castle Kzar Leatherworks as a leathersmith and sales monkey, two seasons with Fellowship Foundry Pewter, and this season, I begin on TRF cast as one of the newest members of the Transylvanian Court!

[Capt Robertsgrave Thighbiter]

Oh Ho Dona, the competion! WHo do you work for? 

[Tipsy Gypsy]

I suck mold.

Actually, I'm a safety geek for a large university, so I wear a lot of hats. Primarily I operate the hearing conservation program for the campus, with a few indoor air quality investigations (including mold) and the occasional asbestos survey thrown in. I also do volunteer work with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, a 501(c)3 that generates scholarships and research grants for state-supported higher education.
