What job supports your habit?
 

Myself, I work for Joyline in Taber, Alberta. We haul heavy Iron :D
Basically we do the tear-out, moving, and rig-up of oilfield drilling rigs.
We also will do any oilfield heavy or specialty hauling.
I am just a swamper on a big bed truck for right now, but am going to be getting my own tractor(Soon I hope ;) )

So what do you guys do?

Heres a few pix of my Big Bed Truck :)


Myself, and my 2 kids.

Damn, Captain! That's a cool rig. Man, I could really do some things with that truck!

BTW...your kids are getting HUGE!!! How time flies!

Nice pics Captain. TreeDoc, need we even ask what you do (i.e., arborist).

Me, I'm an attorney and CPA, but not necessarily in that order all the time. From the beginning of February to the middle of April I am almost always wearing my CPA hat. The rest of the year is a toss up. I don't have any pics of me to post that are work related, but I could take a pic of my office/desk with two big stacks of on the desk and files all over the floor waiting for work to be done on them.

Heres a few pics of the things I do do with that rig, and the type of work we do... :D:D

This is called a SOW truck, because it is a big pig :P(Bigger than my Bed) Winching a cat onto the bed to move it to a new location

Since this is turning into a thread about crazy things you can do with a truck, thought I would post one of a helicopter.

Nothing as exotic, I ride heard on a keyboard and seven phone lines selling auto parts and working with insurance companys and body shops. Been doing it for thirty years, gets kinda dull at times, most exciting thing is sifting through scams wanting foreign shipments and bogus credit card deals!LOL

I am the assistant manager for procurement at Kent State University. So to describe what job supports my habit, I could say that I buy stuff so that I may buy stuff!

I'm only a photographer.
I photograph girls...






































And guys. :)


Sort of like this:

Oh yeah, I've got some great ballet photos too. ;)

That helicopter pic should be in the dictionary under "cojones":eek:

Technical Specialist for a University Police Dept. The coolest thing about my job is that there are no other techs for about 140 miles that have been cleared by the state to work on "sensitive data". In the last few months I have gotten on a first name basis with the DA, the regional rep of the FBI and the district Texas Ranger.

I push a desk and sit in front of a computer most days, though I occasionally get out in the field to a job site.

I am usually designing somebody's next dream house, lately I have been designing commercial buildings, from multi-family condos (63+ suites w/underground parking) to schools & car dealers.

It can be boring, but also quite interesting, I like to think I leave my mark on the world!

Maybe even Rocky will make the move. Just think, deep sea fishing and hunting right out your back door.:cool: Might take up surfing again.

I am currently a punching bag for drunken frat boys, "babysitter" for spoiled collage kids that can only use their parent credit card withought assistance, Im also a "sheepdog". Basicly I work security for gated communities in a Collage town, that exells in "hardcore partying".
Sometimes I get a chance to break away, and be a real professional security officer. That means I sometimes get a chance to use my class G license (Armed Security).
The pay isnt what I think it should be. But, You have to be preity jaded to say its a dull job!! :eek:

Im in the prosess of changing jobs, where I can get some daytime work hours. So I can finish school, myself! Im going to try Phlebotomy (sticking needles into peoples veins).

For the last 5 or so years have been the service mgr for an RV manufacturer. I answer most of the techincal questions asked by our parts & warrenty people, dealers and retail customers as well as schedule for our shop, deal with the customers that stop by and make most of the road trips for the company. I'm currently working on trips to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ft. Lauderdale FL, Sacramento CA, and British Columbia:eek: Hardest part isn't supporting the habit but finding time for it:(

What I do.....
 

I am a Domestic Commodities Relocation Transportation Specialist...And this is what it looks like from my office window.

Job
 

After bouncing around for a few years, I found my professional monitary calling... Home Inspector.

I do okay with pay, and with everyone moving into Albuquerque, NM, work is picking up.

Although, I must admit, I am trying to get my 10 year old son jaded early. I tell him that for a job, he needs to find something that he's good at that pays well so that he can do the things that he enjoys on the weekends... Not sure if the advice is taking, but I hope our weekend hiking, scouting, and camping trips help the cause.

RASteele,

The better advice is for him to find something that he ENJOYS to do and can get paid for it because he will be doing it 5 days a week.

Me, I have days when I really like my job and others when I don't. Today is one of the days I don't like it because I have two criminal cases. I was in Court in DC and watched some guy get locked up for a year because he violated probation, and his mother was there at the same time trying to get a restraining order for a year's time. It was really sad, and I almost wanted to cry. Of course, the mother didn't need the protective order with him in jail for a year.

Meanwhile, my client who is in trouble for domestic violence is baulking about attending a 22 week, 1 hour a week domestic violence program because it costs $20 per week. My client this afternoon is crying because the only way he can keep his driver's license after refusing a breathalyzer is to sign up for an ignition interlock device, but he doesn't want to pay $50 to have it installed and $65 a month thereafter. Instead, he told me that he is just going to drive illegally. Told him that he would be in a world of hurt if he gets caught because it will violate his probation on the DUI and his license would be revoked for 6 months instead of merely suspended for 4 months. These thing just do not phase these guys.

Sometimes, I wish I were a hunting or fishing guide, or maybe a shooting instructor.

fabsroman-

Wow, that bites! A rough day in court stinks, I know.

Unfortunately, though, you kinda illustraited my point. Very few of us will ever get paid to do the things that we enjoy. Yeah, I would love to work as a Shooting Instructor, or be able to pay my bills and have a good life working as a Land Manager on some farm, but the truth is that we would starve if I held out for a job like that. That is why I want him to know what the real world is like early on. I want him to find his happiness, but also be realistic in his approach to what that would entail. Yeah, my wife and I enjoy our jobs, but they do not reflect who we are and what we do as individuals.

Honestly, I hope he can find something that he loves doing and that pays well. That would make me happier than a lark! But the truth is that the odds are against it and I don't want to see him disappointed if it turns out that can't do what he loves for a career.

On a lighter note, speaking of courts and bonds, did you read / hear about Dog The Bounty Hunter, his son Leiland (sp?), and Dog's brother ('Youngblood') being arrested? ... For "Failure To Appear"?!? I almost shat myself I laughed so hard!

"On a lighter note, speaking of courts and bonds, did you read / hear about Dog The Bounty Hunter, his son Leiland (sp?), and Dog's brother ('Youngblood') being arrested? ... For "Failure To Appear"?!?"

Hadn't heard about that, and barely know who those people are because I rarely watch TV, but I know enough to know that is quite ironic. I wonder how their show is doing? What would have been really ironic is to have filmed some bounty hunters bringing them in. That could have been a spinoff of another bounty hunter series, kind of like how we have three CSI's (e.g., Las Vegas, Miami, and New York).

TV kills me.

I drill water wells and install line shaft turbines . i basicaly get paid to drive on some very fine lawns and make a huge mess:D

Werk...a 4 letter word
 

Hey Fabs.. You know I have done the guiding thing...for a lot of years. Did the fishing guide thig a little bit too. Have done quite a bit of shooting instruction in the last few years. Teaching 2 women out here in Wy now.. After doing it for money for a while..it just turns into another job. Seriously... and ya get to the point that you don't want to get up and go in the morning. Guided waterfowl hunters for 33 yrs. Can't figure out why...sometimes! But I did get to hunt some really great places(and some terrible ones) shot an awful lot of birds and met some really nice people(and some really bad ones too). Of them all the shooting instructor thing is probably the most profitable of the bunch...per hour worked. Also makes ya feel good when they follow the instructions and it all works...just the way you told them(they still don't believe it) it would. I tell the ladies that when it all comes together..it feels just like magic...and for some of them..it really is.
BTW there is no way I could be an attorney(thats a lawyer for all us commoners)

Some days, I wonder how I can continue being an attorney. However, just like how everything comes together like magic for those women you are instructing on some occassions, I have those types of occassions too. Some clients actually listen to me and do the right thing. Then there are the clients that hire me for positive things like helping them set up a small business or rental property. Just celebrated the one year anniversary of my salon client a month ago. That was pretty cool. It is great when I get to see them succeed. It sucks when they do not listen and I watch them go down the toilet like my granite countertop client. Such is life. Let me know when you are getting back to Maryland so we can set up some shooting.

DRUGS ====oooooooooops What I ment was I am still doing some selective police work and the more drugs the more work I have lol
