What do you do?'to pay the bills'

[westy1]

I have worked with Dr. Halanski in the past. But being a father, I try to stay out of pediatrics as much as possible. Hope everything is going well for your daughter

I work at a body shop. I pretty much do the sh!t work. I run a tow truck from the little tow trucks all the way to the ones that pull semi's. Winter time sucks because a lot of people dont know how to drive down I-94 when the roads are slippery. Working on trying to get a job with the city of Albion (its a small town between jackson and battle creek)

Project Manager for business software systems at Herman Miller. Fancy title for what I really do: solve problems.

My wife pays the bills because I freak when I see what stuff costs and get all controlling with the money. She doesn't like that. So now I just pretend stuff is for free and ask her if I can have it.

If I need actual cash, I sell something I already own for a whole lot less than I paid for it.

I have no other skills anyone is willing to pay for.

Computer geek at UofM, in charge of the campus Active Directory service. In other words, I try to keep the Windows clean. ;D

My (very) occasional on-call pay will pretty much be direct-deposited at some VW parts place or another...

My job title is professional motorcoach operator. I drive an Indian Trails bus from Owosso Mi to Chicago, making stops in Lansing, Battle Creek, Kzoo, Paw Paw, Benton Harbor, Gary In. Pretty cheap way to get around. We even ship freight if you need to send out a crank or a hood. Been doing this for four years now. Before I worked at GKN sinter metals as QC tech for almost 10 years. If I could stop spending money on my vw, I'd go back to school to be an airline pilot. I've been talking to schools! No skills I could offer the group, I just learn as I go with auto work.

I am a "Accessibility technology professional" Or ATP. Fancy credidation for a wheel chair sales rep. I sell and service anything from mid level walkers to high end power wheel chairs. I specialize in Power wheel chairs and seating and positioning. It can be a demanding job, but also rewarding, sometimes all in one.

Its very humbling to do this work. If I ever have a bad day, all I have to do is consider what some of my customers go through on a daily basis, some of it would bring you to tears.



Check this out. Not my customer, but have sold these.

I sell old VW parts and I take photos. I make 90% of my money freelancing. Weddings, events, etc. I sell prints here and there as well. which reminds me.

If you see anything you would like to see on a wall etc let me know and I can get it printed for you. or we can do it other ways so you can print it yourself. Just let me know.

I'll be moving to Nebraska for 5 or more years to work on earning a PhD in July. So it looks like I won't need to worry about paying any VW bills for awhile since there isn't a place out there big enough to house my parts or my rides on the stipend they provide. Hopefully my folks will keep them well exercised!
