[panthera]

Teach, translate and

increasingly, design and maintain small office computer networks.
Double major in IT and English.

So glad I did, was worth putting up with the taunts on both sides at school. Turns out PCs are good for something other than storing recipes...and sometimes it helps to clearly know why you are splitting your infinitives.

Also have two books to my credit and few slash-fic. short-shorts.

Don't know yet what I'll do full-time in the 'States. I love teaching, but all that political correctness and zero tolerance coupled with every child left behind leaves me skeptical...

I run the family's new & used appliance business. The company has been around since the 1930's. My dad has been the service guy since the mid-to-late 60's and bought the place in 1982. In fact, he'll turn 69 this year and still runs 10 calls a day (it keeps himm active & keeps him on the road out of my hair!). Before joining the family buisness in 1998, I spent 6 years as a car salesman and a stint as the finance manager at the dealership. I don't miss doing that.

In April the company went through the largest downsizing in its 102-year history, and I was one who was cut.

Historic Preservationist.

After taking my education in historic preservation as high as I could, I decided to try earning a living doing it too.

I deal with historic building research, rehabilitation tax credit applications, historic districts, etc. I also do historic building condition assessments (not the same as a building inspection) rehabilitation planning, obscure parts sourcing, and all other things having to do with historic buildings.

I love my work and enjoy getting out of bed in the morning, I just wish it paid better.

We ARE indeed a productive bunch,
