Takin Care of Business

I work in architecture, not the IT variety.  Been out of work since April.   BTW if anyone want's to see what I've done in my career portfolio here: http://sites.google.com/site/bslcadservices/portfolio

I am engaged in work of the print for approximately 20 years. As an operator of a machine printing. Japan was always in bad times at the same time during a similar period. The contents and the quality of the work changed. Because work gradually decreased sharply, I had to balance work by the software on the computer recently. This is hard work and unknown continuation for me.

Although i studied electronics in Canada, I didn't work for a long time in that field, quickly finding jobs in TV-related jobs and satellite communications (beams), then coming to  I used to work as a prevention officer (work accident prevention) in industrial plants (construction time or maintenance) for 15 years, with a specificity in radio-protection...

I was a custom paint and finish person, got to do a lot of weird faux  type finishes in San Francisco. I switched to being a full time music teacher and performer after losing my finishing job. Since moving back to Memphis, playing jobs have increased a lot because people in the south still enjoy live music. Something that seems to be dying out elsewhere.

Thanks for checking it out.  It's not often I get to "inflict" my work on people these days.  Things seem to be picking up.  Need to find a good firm to work for that isn't too far to drive to, preferably small, that needs someone with my talents.

As much as I love messing around with music, it's not a career option for me, it's a nice hobby.

I actually settled on architecture when I was in my teens though I considered cartooning and airplane pilot.  Well' actually did make some good cartoons when I was young.  Also drew mazes.  I never attempted to fly a plane.  Probably a good thing.

Not nearly as dangerous as my old job, this requires an amazing amount of understanding the work mentalities of ingenners of up to 35 countries (we have scientists from India, Russia, USA, Turkey, Canada and more... on top of the 28 EC countries)... It's also much tougher doing safety work with University brats (who know everything better than everyone else), than with uneducated construction workers (who trust you know better)   Amazingly enough, this latest job is where I've seen the best-looking women colleagues, too....

I've got a question for you.  I've only worked for small companies and all the work has been local.  I actually applied for a job at Bhagram doing architectural services (not IT, I really hate having to say this because IT people have taken over the word architecture and it makes it really hard when I get job e-mails because I get all this junk.

What do you get when you multiply 6x9?

Casino gigs are kind of a drag, mostly done for the money. Everyone there is chasing their addictions while you play in the background, but occasionally folks will stop by the stage and party with you. Some casinos are more sterile and plastic than others. Some are almost fun to play at. 

Depends on who I am playing with. I used to play with a band that did a lot of 70s funk, RnB and some funky jazz. Now I'm getting more work with a band that does mostly 70s rock with some RnB and other things. Fortunately the band has a good sense of humor and a very creative and talented guitarist, which helps ease the boredom.

I do mainly welfare work rather than so-to-speak business.
