Where do you work..what do you do?

I manage a high end furniture and design showroom in Los Angeles county. I do whatever needs to be done to assist the client from selecting fabrics, placing orders, tracking orders and even service inspections at the clients home if they have any problems.

I'm a software engineer for a really small company: http://www.sig-inst.com/

It's pretty much a niche market and we're gaining share on a monthly basis right now. We're doing a side project for another company that's got government contracts -- NASA and something for the Patriot Missile System. Yeah, PMS!

Good on ya! Working in a music store will be good for you. Do you get an employee discount?

Yeah, there's only one female there full time. One part time but it's the boss' wife. I've figured out all I need to on that subject -- I set up shop in the corner of the house farthest from the storm.

i think so, but it's mostly a guitar store...so i dont really need anything, i use my brothers guitar if i want to, but being i dont play guitar it wont benefit me much in that way, but i can get a discount for friends

I get to at least play metal all day. I only get to crank it from about 5:15 to 6:00 in the morning. After that I've gotta tone it down a bit. Of course the looks I get from other people that hear metal in a "business" environment are classic sometimes.

I work as a high school history teacher. And I try to convert some of my students to metal. My average is 1 or 2 a year. Not bad considering most of my students are from Suriname, Turkey or Moroccon origine

i actually got interested in metal through history...when i was in my 1st grade i had such an interest in it i really started getting into it, and that led me to discover my first metal band Iron Maiden (powerslave album) when i was in the middle of 2nd. and it went from there,

Thats a cool story Actually my biggest interests in history are US history [Founding era, Civil war and 19th century industrial revolution], the enlightenment and the rise of national socialism.

I also love the history of Philosophy.
