I'm a lawyer who drafts Federal law for the U.S. Congress.

I wrote a book about it, which is due out next month:

In other words, I'm an *epic* rules lawyer.

I also spent longer in grad school than anyone else I know

Do? Living?

I don't get it.



I'm in college, wanting to be a high school math teacher.

I'm a special ed teacher....

Good for you!

What kind of special ed? My brother's deaf, and I don't see many people specializing in the deaf.

 

[Aesthetic Monk]

I'm a senior test developer for a not-for-profit educational publishing firm. It's basically a technical writing/editing job that includes supervision work.

Between bouts of pretending to work on a PhD dissertation in the history of education, I also enjoying editing the occasional RPG-related book, such as this one.

I edit a series of nautical almanacs -- marine navigation handbooks for boat captains.
I write for a few sailing and marine-related magazines. Used to be a newspaper reporter.
I sail on tall ships that run semester-at-sea programs, teaching traditional seamanship and navigation.

Do you have your CTFL yet? (I just got mine last week)

What do you do for job/career/school/training?

My job consists in watching TV during the night. And I need not do it continuously; just about 50%-75% of the working hours. Then, I can do other things, such as typing this post for instance. I get paid 1100 to 1500 $ per month for that, depending on the months. I normally work three nights out of six.

But well, the point is that I watch TV at high speed, then note things, all of this for statistics purposes. Nonetheless, I get paid for watching TV!

Just curious - what sort of things are you counting, and who are you doing this for?

Is this stuff like "how often do people smoke cigarettes on TV?"
