I'm a Brewer of delicious fermented libations. Its my dream job since I was a homebrewer for some time. Now my favorite hobby is my career. I just homebrewed a beer specifically to pair with The Virus. Its an English Old Ale with smoked malt and cinnamon and chocolate. Its a high gravity beer so it will take a least a month or so to be bottled. If it turns out well I may send a couple to some of you NuTs. If I do, for legal reasons they are for yeast samples only and not intended for human consumption.

It's awesome that you can do it professionally. Brewing is much like baking in dealing with the living yeast. Very dynamic stuff. A lot of care goes into your job! Much respect to you!

I work on this yacht as a stewardess and 1st Mate. I basically run the insides of the yacht while the Captain runs the yacht. You all might think it is glamorous, but just this week I had to provision for a 14 day trip. I bought $580 of FOOD! ( I spent 2 hours picking it all out (2 cartloads) (a half hour to check out!)) Then had to go put it all away. It took 5 hours total time! The day before I bought $150 of paper and non-food items. Today, I had to vacuum, dust and clean 6 toilets, set up the bosses office at the dining table, AND wipe down the whole upper deck of the boat! Starting tomorrow I will be taking care of five people for 14 days. But, the pay is good and the Captain is my husband!

When I fished in Alaska, we would go through $10,000 of food in two weeks between 22 guys. Needless to say, we had a dedicated cook on board so it wasn't like we were eating top ramen or such. The cook was paid by the day and his wage came out of the crew share so we pretty much told him what we wanted and he filled in the gaps from there. For the record, I was never married to the Captain!

Buried in books
After being a stay-at-home Mom for 20 years I lucked into taking over a used book store. So - now I talk to people, take their money and play with books all day.
Love my job. And seeing as I'm the owner, I get to vape when I like at the store! Plus, it's in a beach town. Aaaannnd I get to play online selling and hunting the cool stuff.
*can not complain! :2cool:

I'm no Olga lol. I take care of my customers.

And personally I love the USPS and am grateful for your work! :wub:

I love our mailman and our post office. Our mailman would come back real late if he found a package that got lost in his deliveries that day, he is amazing as I'm sure you are too. Thank you for bringing us our vapemail!! :wub:

I'm with Megan in that I love my mailman too! He too has returned when he found a package for me that has gotten lost during the route. When my mailbox fell over I propped it against the neighbor's mailbox and he told me not to worry about it and to take my time getting another even if it meant he had to get out of his truck to put my mail in the box. He's a good guy!
