What do/did you do for a living?

Ha! your telling me. I would love to sell the stuff in my store but I don't think there is a big enough market for it in Toronto to turn over the product often enough. The price points are too high for most of the customers that come in for clothing. We are slowly raising the level of the brands we carry with the introduction of 3sixteen, Oliver Spencer, Filson bags and whatnot but it is a gradual process.
Where's your shop at? I want to go to it while I'm in Toronto this weekend.

I'm not sure I've answered this. I probably have.
Clinical Therapist, focusing primarily on children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems. Usually my clients have experienced significant trauma and have difficulty coping with emotions, both good and bad. They act out in a number of ways, violently often. Sometimes directed inwardly.
I spend a lot of time in homes and communities, experiencing both the inspirational and tragic.
I'd like to think I'm good at my job and help people make their own change.
It's pretty fucking awesome most of the time.

Tax accountant, …I work for the devil (a.k.a. a Top-30 hedge fund). Generally, I handle all things great and small at our firm since every thing has some sort of tax attached to it. Tax folks are the usually the last piece in the financial reporting puzzle and, as such, we have to sort out all the issues others didn't bother to sort out. It's a high stress environment (and needless to say, the material's quite dry); but it does put bacon on the table and IH on my legs when I'm not at the office.

I just landed my first job after graduating. I am a senior research associate for a waste-to-energy company. I essentailly serve as a consulting scientist, and I run/manage specific research and development projects at the company.
Kudos on the new job michael. Like Hectic, I am a big fantasy fan, so I would be glad to hear more about what you are editing, etc!

Congrat! It's a good week for new jobs.
It's early days for me yet, but when we get started I'll be bigging up the new books until you're all sick of me.

Giles, do you like Lee Child? I've got a proof of the recently released one I can send you for the plane. Or how about Mercy by Jussi Adler-Olsen?
If you fancy some SF, I'll send you a few things you might like.
