Officially, I'm the accountant, but the company is so small I can do it all on a Monday. The rest of the week, I just work wherever I'm needed, be it production, sales, receptionist, HR, Product Research & Development, do some SEO, website maintainer (We're hoping to fully replace it in January, but it still needs some minor work - I'm not savvy enough to create a new website myself though), dealing with customer complaints, payroll and most importantly, Keeper of the Sweeties. :)

Oh, and between all that, I'm studying and trying to have some sort of social life.

During the summer, I usually get additional work with a friend of mine. He runs a camp where it's drilled like the British Army during the Napoleonic area. He gets me in to show people how to load and fire muskets, rifles, and cannons, as well as some bayonet practise and some sword play.
My favourite part is when we get out an army of scarecrows (Around 300) in French uniform (well, actually, it's painted on to them, rather than actual clothing). We then spend about an hour or two firing cannonballs, canister or shrapnel shells into them. It's tremendous fun. :P
It's also really unnerving to see the sheer carnage it causes.

Downside is if some stupid idiot decides to hurt themselves. The paperwork is just a nightmare. It's actually really difficult to even be allowed to have gunpowder and working replicas, so much security on it.
It's worth it though. :)
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

I'm currently studying and about to go to a university next year. I'm planning to take up Chemical Engineering. Still waiting for one more result on the CET I took. (Hoping to pass aha! :@ )

I basically play RuneScape and watch anime if I have free time. Things might start getting busier next year. :P

I'm a theatre/creative writing double major, hoping to get into the playwriting "trade".

Currently working 50 hours a week at my campus library to afford what my parents and savings aren't 100% providing, balancing classtime, rehearsals, and what little writing I can do.

I also arrange music and, when I'm not working, tour churches and lecture them about proper Catholicism with the magic of "common human decency".

Nosword said :
yea paying for school is no fun


Sounds like a big political stuff up. When I went to school it was all free, even annual school fees (usually about $20) were not enforced by those families that couldnt afford it.

How times have changed.

I'm a teacher. I teach 6th grade Social Studies, and I'm finishing up my Masters to hopefully land a job as a lecturer/professor at a Community College over here.

(Weird. I started RS as a 6th grader....and I'm still playing it as a 6th grade teacher. Life passes you by pretty quickly.)
