Teaching Dutch to foreigners, mostly refugees from war zones. It is hard work but rewarding at the same time

Paramedic. When I'm not researching lore, I'm researching drugs. Sometimes I get to defibrillate people?

I'm a freelance writer. I've done a few articles for various publications and websites, and ghost-written a few more for especially busy staff writers at the local paper. I've even been tricked into writing a couple essays for local college students, who pay surprisingly well for cheaters. In fact, the last girl got a commendation from the teacher, encouraging her to 'pursue publishing'.Â
These days I'm trying to break into fiction, though short stories - the format to which I'm accustomed - don't seem to sell well. There's just not a huge market for them anymore and plenty of competition from proven authors. I have not sold a single non-non-fiction story yet.
And writing novels is just, like, super hard.

Claims data for Kaiser Permanente. Basically, I huddle in my cubicle and talk to absolutely nobody and approve/deny insurance claims and browse the RPC

I work at a gas station~ Not an ideal job, but I love it. Easy work with decent pay. I hope to become a manager when I learn to drive.
I have a medical assisting degree as well, but that field isn't for me.
I would love to be a baker someday~

A UPS package handler here, package handler is code for loader. I'm the guy who loads all the eighteen wheels you see on the highways. A tiring job with it only being part time for now but the money and the union make it worth it.
I also have a part time busboy job at the local dinner which I have had over nine years now. Could be a waiter but I learned quick... people plus food equals the single most angry ass you would ever met.
Both leave me little time aside from the weekend to enjoy the RP but what I have gotten to enjoy, especially the past week's, have made me remember if I don't know face to face, I'll probable like something about you.

Freelance editor and author first, and foremost. I write when I can (though its fallen off recently.) about what I can, and get paid for these things. I've worked in the past for a fetish webcomic, edited literary magazines, and been published in Bards & Sages, Strange Horizons, Glimmertrain, and a number of other locations. Currently I'm working on my debut novel.
During the day I'm a child development specialist working with at-risk teens. Basically one half psychologist, one half baby sitter. It's singlehandedly both the worst, and the best job I've ever had.
