What do/did you do for a living?

Good for you, no rush!

Been lurking for a while on this forum… I manage a scooter/motorcycle dealership and clothing store. We sell Vespa's, Stella's, Royal Enfield's, Moto Guzzi's and Aprilia's. For clothing we sell stuff like Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Hillside, Filson, Penguin, Wesc and just about to get our first shipment of 3sixteen denim (very excited to get some "real" denim in the store).
I love retail, at least when I am in charge. I get to play with big toys all day and meet all kinds of whacked out people.. today some 16 year old kid bought a bike for his brother who was graduating from college only it turns out he stole the money from his parents and they called the cops on him for doing so... made me laugh a little.

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.

I worked as an ICU nurse for about three years before going back for my MS in Nurse Anesthesia. I have been in practice now for about three years and I love it. I honestly couldn't see myself doing anything else.

Hi. I write software related to hardware instrumentation, operating systems and firmware. I also do a lot of systems integration work/network troubleshooting/etc…I'm an all-round technical problem solver who can do lots of stuff. Educated both at the undergrad and graduate level in electrical engineering, computer science and embedded systems.
Side Note: Most engineers dress like absolute dorks. I mean, they have no fashion sense whatsoever. I'm no fashion plate myself (like Beats, PeteyRock and LandoCal) but at least i care about the aesthetic of wearing high quality clothes as well as looking good. I'm surprised at the number of admittedly geeky types on this thread who appreciate Iron Heart !

I am a TV freelancer with a bias towards combustion engines.
Despite all the technical stuff involved, I still get a kick out of getting to know people behind cars and technology. As I used to say: The tech talk is just a key to other peoples mind. It's simply amazing what kind of people you meet who dedicate their life to cars - be it as a collector of classic cars or as a tuning kid who spends its apprentice money on some weird gadgets for a run-down Volkswagen Golf Mark 2.
So it's not about TV and cars - it's about people!

Spent the past 15 years working in retail, most of which in the retail book trade. For the last 7 or so as a head office Fiction buyer. I took redundancy in August though when they decided to move my job down to London. Best thing that's happened to me in a long while! Freelancing at the moment and looking to go into the editorial side of things.

Where's your shop at? I want to go to it while I'm in Toronto this weekend.
