fine whiskeys!)

Special Education Teacher in a school designed specificaly for student diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. I work in a group for low functioning teenagers who are generally non-verbal and have plateaued academically at roughly pre-Kindergarten.

Im a supervisor at a digital periodical aggregator. I manage two groups that "massage" publisher data (XML, PDF, Quark, HTML, etc) and build and maintain loaders to process that data into a huge Oracle database (35+ million rows in most tables) that, in turn, is used to build a massive set of database products used in most hospitals and libraries in the country.

Hectic, fast paced, and ultra dorky for the most part....but i also have access to one of the largest periodical libraries in the world which is housed in our basement...

..when im not being a dork at work, i do the exact oppsite, and bang hot steel into knives by hand.

[ShootinFoodie]

I work in Research & Development in the food industry. I can't stand the company, in particular, my boss. If anyone knows of any food companies looking for a Food Scientist or a consultant on formulation, I'd appreciate a pointing in their direction.

I also consult on the side.

I also make things on the side. If any of you folks need a dessert or food, I'll figure out how to make it and get it to you. I am far, far better with the desserts though.
