My Job

[tt3]

Hi guys, been thinking a lot about this. My daughter is 19 months old right now, in November she'll be 23 months... and it will have been two years since I've been laid off. This has been the longest out of college job that I've held without being cut or re-classified, hell, I've been here longer than anywhere else working!
The only thing I did longer was a custodian through school to help pay the bills... I've moved from cleaning up other peoples shit to cleaning up my daughters!
I don't really have a point, though... just reflecting. You guys that have been doing this for years... wow...
I know I'm in it for the long haul, till they get to school anyway, then back with my education...
Anyway, been one of those weeks.
Happy Friday all!

Nows the time to dabble in something your interested in. I have been lucky enough to have started a business when I started staying at home almost 5 years ago and now the business is generating a decent income. I only work at night :D

July 4th was my one year point as full-time SAHD.

I have always been home during the day ever since my 1st child was born 4 years ago, but I took on 2nd or 3rd shift depending on the schedule my wife had. That was just too hard.

But this going to the fireworks I remembered that last year on the 4th was my last day I ever "worked."

I am in it for life. Jess and I have chatted and I will never go back to work for somebody else unless Jess loses her license to practice medicine or she drops off the face of the planet.

I have caught up on books I have always wanted to read. You all will think I am some clown, or some nerd, but I do a lot of reading and studying for pleasure. When I was in college I never lifted a book to my nose. lol

I do a lot of activities with the kids. Just think, when the kids get older I can get them more serious about fishing and then we can fish several times a week in the summers. :wink:

I also run online websites. :D

[tt3]

Yeah, I hear the reading stuff... I'm probably one of the better read brewers on the block ;)
I'm a licensed teacher right now, expiring next school year... so when the kids get old enough for school, likely I'll go for a masters in special ed, then teach. Getting my summers off and being on roughly the same schedule as the kids too. That of course depends on the future of this areas school districts :roll:
ah well. I guess I should priortize that beer site so it starts rolling hits, but ... office finished first.
We were looking for smaller speakers for my stereo on my office the other night (I've got big shelf units now, and like to run my computer through the stereo), we went to like three different places trying to find something that would work, including ceiling speakers, but nothing seemed right. Then there was a clearance surround sound system that had a reciever and 5disk dvd/music changer... for $50 more then a pair of speakers I was looking at...
Val, God bless her "Just get that, your reciever sucks anyway"
WHOOHOO :D
So, I got to wire the room for surround sound last night! Far Cry, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege 2 here I come! Mwuaaahahahahhaaa :twisted:

Its raining and crappy out now....

We're putting in the cieling for the office this weekend, had to call in the troops, as I'm not about to balance a 4x8 sheet of sheetrock on my noggin to get it up there :shock:

ok, thanks for the ramble time

You all will think I am some clown, or some nerd, but I do a lot of reading and studying for pleasure.

Geek :lol: Its cool! Did I tell you guiys I have a masters degree in library science? Talk about geeky, nah, i really never liked books, just the research aspect and I worked on the techie stuff.

Tony, The website will be a good place to start, who knows, maybe a home brew shop you run out of the house will be next? Get paid to drink and make beer, talk about a dream job!

[Jackson's Dad]

Tony, you are a brewer? Ah, what a dream job! Actually, I don't know how good of a brewer I'd be, but I'd love to work for a small microbrew. Just a small team of folks making a good quality product. Nice. :)

Job-wise, I am lucky being a designer and photographer. I have my studio almost setup, and can just work from home. For me, this is the ultimate in career.... I am so burned out working to realize other people's dreams. And the bonus of it is that I can be home all the time with my son.

Sounds like you guess got it figured out.

Making brews and photography (all from home) seems too good to be true.
