    Well, despite the CIA letting me down.... I'm the Medical Supply Logistics for my unit currently on rear-detachment, also the NCOIC for the unit medical board. Studying psychology at a community college right now, and only a year left in the army. Woop woop.

    Sprint Customer Support. I handle bills, all account details from adding lines to plan changes, and I help you get that iPhone that you've always wanted. :P

    Or at least, I was until we all got fired last week.

    This is why I do customer support over the phone. I can daydream about strangling doctors with my headset cord -and- still keep my job.

    My job actually allows me to be a **** to people, whether it's a crappy guy we hired, that now we'd rather have quit.  Or a crappy general contractor who tries to weasel out of charges.  That's when I get the sign to really stick it to em.

    I wish I could hire you for a day to be a jerk to one of the guys where I am now... and get him to quit.

    Over the last six months, I've been an intern, managed a coffee bar, been a freelance photographer, photographer's assistant, and semi-professional house-sitter/dog-watcher. Mostly all at the same time. Right now, I am still in the coffee scene in my city, working at a new shop and running its social media. I am in the process of trying to enlist with the U.S. Navy.

    I was, until recently, a non-Union sparky (electrician). Then I got a great job working in data comm, because the pay rate was almost twice what I was making, and because real electricians do most of your work for you. So work half as hard, make twice as much was great. That was apparently too much to pay me, because I was then laid off with half of my company. Yay American economy! Now I'm a student, a poolee in the DEP to enlist in the Marine Corps, and most importantly a father to the most beautiful little girl in the entire world. If my daughter didn't keep me endlessly afk on Imperian and preoccupied with the joys of fatherhood, I'd most certainly go insane from my lack of going to work 40+ a week for the first time since I was 16.

    Domain/hosting reseller here. I also specialise in network security for SME's.

    Oh, and I pretend to code from time to time. Usually in BASH, Lua and small bits of Python and C.

    You know, I knew what Volpe did for a living before this, but I never actually considered the fact that my romance-reading mother, aunts, and co-workers are very possibly reading Volpe-smut.

    The thought is unsettling, for some reason.

    I work crap hours for a large security company with crap pay(but nice health benefits and surprisingly good vacation time), trying to support myself and my girl(soon to be wife). Saving up money for my firearm permit(since armed security spits on my pay) and college. Hoping within the next couple years to get into law enforcement and make a decent living to support a family. It's not much, but it's life, and I'm damn happy with it.

    The average mean age for US/Canadian women is about 58 for romance readers, but 50 (and falling) for e-readers.  I sell short stories that are normally about 5000 words long for 2.99.  It's all impulse buy convenience porn.

    I think the reason that it is unsettling is because romance novels are the equivalent of a hustler or a playboy for women with a few minor differences.

    I think it's more because with text sex you can use your imagination to get the perfect image of what you want. This is why mudsex and ERP are popular because it's basically interactive crowd-sourced erotic fiction writing. You get to make the porn you want for free!

    Although, some people just like to pretend they're guzzling down two feet of unicorn wang, but hey, who the hell cares?

    Someone pays me to do lots of science. Toxicology/Biology/Ecology. Life is hard. Supposedly, they give me a degree after my indentured servitude.

    I own a photography/illustration business that helps with extra money but most of my income comes from delivering and setting up furniture in the PA, OH, and NY areas for pretty good pay. I enjoy the labor for exercising. I sometimes play gigs for drumming and even smaller shows with my guitar singing weird joke songs.

    I'm a broke college student, working on an artsy degree, doing my best to go against the hipster mold of the coffee capital of the US. But I've resigned to looking for a job as a Barista, or working at a used bookstore for extra money.

    Dude, I haven't even looked at the first episode. It's all about Doctor Who and Sherlock for me. :P And don't forget Game of Thrones. Fire and Blood.
