Title: Re: How do you bring home the bacon? Post by BobG on Jun 29th, 2003, 1:44pm I sit in a control room in front of 27 monitors with 10 keyboards. Plus 5 redundent computers, 5 back-up computers, plus 5 alternet computers. I have the most boring job in the world but what-the-hell, it pays the bills and I don't have to sweat or get my hands dirty. The toughest part of the job is the coffee pot. It's in the kitchen more than 20 steps away. That's 40 steps X 15 or 20 trips every day. Whew! That's it for now. Coffee break.......#8. Actually my official title is (Bulk energy) Transmission and Distribution System Operator. |

Title: Re: How do you bring home the bacon? Post by SommelierCH on Jun 30th, 2003, 10:15pm I love my job. I can’t wait to go to work every night. I get paid to drink. I am a professional Sommelier. I have studied wine, beer and spirits professionally for 28 years. I work nights at a very high-end restaurant in downtown Beverly Hills, filled with celebrities and power brokers. Every night when I go into work there are people (wine makers, owners, reps) waiting, with wine in their hands, for me to taste and evaluate their wines, hoping that I will buy some. Since choosing a wine can be so confusing, and it’s so easy to get ripped off; people tend to come back to visit me because I never do a hard-sell and try to talk someone into a wine more expensive than they wanted (even though I get paid by commission), I never have mediocre wines on my list, so you don’t have to know a lot to get a good bottle, I have a laid back (buzzed) attitude, and I’m not French. I also, do consulting for new restaurants, and revamp wine lists for old restaurants. Sometimes I will put together a wine cellar for a personal home. Since my Sommelier award, I have been able to boost my fee’s a little. I moonlight with professional photography: resume photos and headshots for the acting biz. (When in Rome…) I am hoping some real money will be made with my “Wine and Food Adventure” interactive television show, which I am writing, filming and editing. It’s geared to a younger audience than represented on the food channel and alcohol is much more predominant. I have about 16 hours of tape from wineries, restaurants and celebrity interviews at their homes. I have had a union acting card since 1976, so it’s not like I’m a stranger to the business. Sometimes if you want something done, you just have to do it yourself. David J. P.S. klp, may God bless you. |

Title: Re: How do you bring home the bacon? Post by SommelierCH on Jul 1st, 2003, 5:46am I suckered the coni-sewers, again. My true forte, is being an expert on cheap wines. Don’t get me wrong, I am given many bottles, of expensive wine, as samples to try. Just last Sunday, Carlo Mondavi (Robert Mondavi’s grandson), gave me two bottles of Opus One and two bottles of Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, to take home. However, last week, when Carole Burnett asked me where I shop for wine, and I told her, “the Rite-Aid 24hr. Drug Store, on Cannon”, she almost blew a gasket. Then she asked me how big my wine cellar was at home, and when I said “Zero Bottles, but a couple of 5 liter boxes of generic Cabernet”, she went ahead and blew. Don’t confuse what I drink for free at work, with what I drink on my own money. ;D I enjoy simple wine, at home, it’s an everyday beverage. Let the fruit of the vine show through, with very, little manipulation by man. That translates to good, yet cheap. ;D At home, I drink “Peter Vella” (made by Gallo, as are two of the five luscious, mind-benders in the picture above) Cabernet, Merlot or Burgundy (in descending order) out of 5 liter boxes. They are always on sale at Rite-Aid (still open when I get off work), $9-11 for the 5 liter box of Cab. The Mylar bladder inside, collapses as the wine is used, keeping oxygen from entering and turning the remaining wine in the box, sour. It will remain fresh for a long time. I drink red wine at home, so that I don’t lose any beer-space in the fridge. It’s also my cooking wine. Just so you don’t think that I am pulling your collective legs, here is a picture of my empties from this weekend. I included the last 2 healing dolls plus my Orange Doll, in the picture to give it a time frame. http://tinyurl.com/fptq Box wine is also great for your earthquake/disaster/terrorist stash. It won’t break, and it is a welcome relief, when things calm down. I have a peasant point of view, but that’s cool. I’m a cheap date. David J. |

Geritol? Check. Jello? Check. Impending sense of doom? Check. And I know who the Wiggles are as well. Took my daughter to see them in Charleston and they were cool as hai-yul. Captain Feathersword is amazingly annoying and yet, at the same time, comforting. It makes me feel good that someone else out there in the world has ingested as many hard drugs as me. And lived to tell the tale me hearties!! Arrrrr!! Fruit salad, yummy yummy!! |

Title: Re: How do you bring home the bacon? Post by jimbo on Jul 1st, 2003, 9:45am I'm a test pilot for La-Z-Boy recliners ;D I own a communication cabling company specializing in the installation of voice, data and fiber-optic networks for the commercial business world. I have 12 employees and am located in the Milwaukee Wi. area. (Plug) but we will travel. After paying the union benefits for my employees and double taxes for being self-employed, there isn't much bacon left to bring home. But what the heck, I love paying double taxes as long as it benefits some total stranger that gets to sit on his/her lazy ass and do nothing all day! Maybe I should close the business, but why should they have to suffer. (Sarcasm) Seeya, Jimbo |

Title: Re: How do you bring home the bacon? Post by Brian_Y on Jul 1st, 2003, 12:15pm The Wiggles are a group of 4 guys from Australia. They met while they were in college as Early Education majors. They are now gajillionaires. They sing and dance and have "good messages" interspersed in there too so it's not all fluff. There is also a usual cast of characters who hang with them: Captain Feathersword the friendly pirate, Dorothy the Dinosaur who eats only roses, Henry the Octopus (who wears a plaid suit and a straw boater, so he is representin' his old money peeps), etc. They are a lot of fun. When I saw them in concert in Charleston, I noticed there were 12 year olds there too lovin' it. I'd much rather my daughter watch them when she is 12 than that 14 minutes and 59 seconds skank Britney Spears. Captain's magic buttons, He's got half a dozen. Makes him sing in different ways!!! http://www.thewiggles.com/images/contact2.jpg |

I also help our company administer the longest running performance contract in US Government History as the sole communications provider for Whiteman Air Force Base, home of the B-2 Stealth bomber. On the weekends, I am a Southern Baptist minister who preaches in churches who have lost their pastor until they find a replacement. We have had a lot of pastor's dying around here lately of strokes, heart attacks, and car accidents so I have been busy. I also sing professionally with more than 50 concerts performed annually in the United States and abroad. I used to perform at Disney's Epcot Center. I have sung on a Carnival Cruise Line, I did a 5 1/2 month concert tour to Europe, plus my U.S. tours which have taken me to NYC, Chicago, Utah, Nashville, and all points between. Since I lived in Florida, I did hundreds of concerts across the sunshine state from Homestead to just west of Tallahackme. |
