Hmm well for work I'm a full time Barista at Starbucks. It may be a job that a lot of you would probably call beneath you but it's good work. I have great benefits, and I get to socialize all day. Although it's just work untill I find something I want to be a career.

In my spare time I'm a very laid back (lazy) person. I usually play games, watch videos, surf the net, play with my dogs. I really like the outdoors so I like to take the pooches out. I'm adventurous and open minded, so I'm willing to do just about anything I'm physically capable of doing. I usually need someone else to organize things though because I'm not a very driven person, so there's lots of things I would do but haven't bothered. I usually hang out alone or with Kohl, but I'm always looking for people to be friends with. I'm a really tactile (overly affectionate) person and I love to cuddle with people. If given half the chance I will curl right up and snuggle/scritch all night.

But I think overall what I do is exist. I live my life from one moment to the next. Trying to find happiness and purpose in life.

I've spent a combined six years working in coffeehouses, some full time, some part time. You're absolutely right, it's awesome work. Hard to make a career out of, but definitely has its own rewards. ^^

I'm a production machine-operator/shift leader at a factory that produces waterproofing membranes (roofing material) out of asphalt.  I do a whole bunch of shit, from calculating blends of asphalt:rubber:calcium-carbonate, to performing regular maintenance on the various machine sections and ensuring the product we make follows the specifications of the manufacturing order.  

I've just received my Occupational First Aid Level 2 certification, so I'm an active first-aid attendant at my job, which is kinda cool.  I have a lot of responsibility at my job, so it can be really stressful as well as rewarding.

And I'm STILL working on my 4th class power engineering course, to be able to work on steam-boilers and refrigeration.  Dunno when that's gonna get done though... hopefully sometime soon.

I also work for Emergency Management BC as a SAR Aeronautical Navigator...but that's strictly volunteer.

doing that must be very rewarding and in a sense - fun.  

granted everyone, and i mean everyone depends on my job.  i am a truck driver delivering all sorts of things to all sorts of places.

thank a trucker.  if you have it, a truck brought it.   and that includes the building you live in.  i'll take the thanks with hugs.
1 ton truck available for hire.  contact me by personal message for info

Excellent stuff! Gonna get your 3 with all your transport endorsements, eventually? I hope they give you a premium on top of your wage for being an active attendant...

Indeed, sir, it is both.  And hey, thanks a bunch to you and your co-workers. ^.^

I work at Subwaaaaaay! ... It's easy work. Like... the easiest... EVER!

Free time is spent usually with my mate, or drawing, sewing, or eating... I love food... good thing my mate's a chef!

I may, eventually.  Work paid for my OFA L2 and L3 is pretty expensive.  I was going to go try to be an on-call fire-fighter about this time next year, so there might be opportunities there. =)

This week I will be working on insulating an attic and I'm volunteering being a dog groomer, hopefully quite frequently.
I like dogs.
But I really like wolves and foxes.
I toats need to get first aid, my N, and a REaal job soon -.-, hopefully at seymour, or maybe i can go to whistler and be one of those workers who live there, but i'm pretty sure they only hire auzzies, I swear it's like every person has the accent. the only thing is I really don't want to work with clothes or food like all my high-school friends do. I could easily do something with phones,people,animals,computers,hands,outdoors.
After high school, which is approaching fast, I'll be looking for a place to live with Any of my friends.

Apart from being a student I sell shiny trinkets to people with wads of cash.

In my spare time I make things, any kind of things. I've made books, jewelry, planes, robots, bows; anything that you can make by hand with minimal tools, I'll take a crack at making come point in my life. Unfortunately between school, school work, and work I don't have much time anymore.
I've always been told to never look a life behind a window to go outside and join the world, but what about the world behind that window makes the outside so much better?

I go to Emily Carr University for Photography, and in my spare time I draw, write and work at a Photography Store/Studio.

Nice - what kind of photography do you do? I've taken a couple levels at Focal Point, though I'm terribly lazy about actually putting stuff up because I hate digital postprocessing.

i fix cars...to put it simply.
sometimes though, i feel like i need more computer/electronics training...
but, i guess i still enjoy it enough to want to work on my own car ^ ^ heh.

I cook fine dining, and put in 12 hour days feeding people far richer than me. And I love every minute of it. :)

Landscape mostly, a mix of film and digital (though mostly digital these days). In the studio I'm doing portraits.

Also forgot to mention that hobbies include bubble tea, snowboarding (my favorite sport ever), mountain biking, hiking, going for long aimless drives and some music stuff.

http://ciradoni.deviantART.com has some of my photography ^^
