    What is it you say you do?
    So, what does everyone here do for a profession, or hobby?

    I'm a chef by trade. Have been cooking for the better party of 20 years. Ball Pythons and tarantulas have become a hobby for my wife and I that started about 6 months ago. I run an online gaming guild for the last year and a half. I'm also the moderating manager for another gaming website. A couple days a month I run sound at my church. I'm also a full time father of two girls 6 years apart and a full time husband for nearly 8 years.

    I am a dental hygienist, newlywed, and a brand new owner of a normal ball python. My husband is the one into reptiles, but I took it upon myself to research ball python care for months and begged for a snake. :D

    I should clarify, I've owned bp's for nearly 9 years, collecting them to breed is a new thing for me. Same with the T's.

    I think "The Hide Box" would be a cool name for a pub/eatery.

    I'm a 911 dispatcher for police, fire and EMS. I work directly in the police station, and we are also our county control. That means big fire in my county = big headache for me. We are pretty much the mutual aid lifeline for the whole county <sigh> I am also a single mom, and go to school part time at my local community college.

    My hobbies include but not limited to:
    snake collecting (duh? lol)
    astronomy
    camping/hiking/mountain climbing
    art
    history
    volunteering
    music
    aaaaand running

    I am a pacemaker clinical specialist. I check and troubleshoot pacemakers and ICDs. I also assist Cardiologists and Electrophysiologists with implants in the EP lab.

    Hobbies include snakes, of course. I also LOVE Disc Golf. Not much time for anything else besides watching a good movie now and then while I surf the net.

    Wow! Much respect for you being a single mom and doing what you do. We love hiking. There are a tin of places to go here in Colorado. And if you like to bike, you can do that as well. And if you're lucky, you may see a rattle snake on the trail like my wife and youngest did last week.

    Thank you, as much as I complain sometimes, I do really like my job. I work with some great people, and have some seriously entertaining stories lol. Never a dull moment. I'd rather stay away from the rattlesnakes, no offense to the hot snakes, but they scare me lol. I like them...in pictures :D

    I would LOVE to have that kind of set up to build enclosures. You are a fortunate man to own a cabinet shop and be in this hobby.

    My grandfather was a dispatcher and many of my relatives have been or are in law enforcement. After hearing some stories I know how stressful your job is. And the rattlers will let you know they are there. The only thing they are doing is basking. Youngest screamed so loud it got scared off, lol.

    Definately! It is the hardest job in the world! I quit my full time accounting job and graduate school to finally stay home with the 3 kids and I work WAY harder now. I always knew I worked for a brake but WOW! It really is the best and most rewarding thing I have ever done. :)

    Over the years I've been an Air Force medic, a paramedic, a HIV prevention counselor, a machinist, a professional musician, and a phlebotomist.

    At the present, all I can say about my vurrent job is I that I work with explosives and am working towards my blaster license from the ATF and FBI. BEST job I have had since being a musician.

    As you can tell, I have YET to decide what I want to be when I grow up!

    I like it, and this is coming from a guy who's not normally into IPA.
    However I am breaking form, in that I'm having straight from the bottle, and not the requisite 'Southern Tier Tulip Glass'.

    My local craft beer store also carries the Jahva Stout, I think I'll try it next.

    Keep up the good work!
