Chess Member Occupations

Hey, I used to use dishnetwork!

how I envy you, I'm a talented amateur but to earn a living  as a drunk...wow.

Former professional musician

Current student and teacher-to-be

Oh, and I work as a bookkeeper and receptionist to pay for school. 

Formerly I was a foot and ankle model, but the price of razors went up and it was no longer cost effective to shave the hair on my toes.

I thought about being an encyclopedian, but I wasn't sure really what skillset was involved, and I didn't see any listings for it in the local want ads.

So now I work as a happy dancer in a large corporate office. It's like a singing telegram but without the singing. Basically if management wants someone to feel appreciated, they have me go dance in their office for a few minutes.

I just wish losing at chess paid the bills.

 I thought you were a baddie? I hope the skin-tight suit doesn't chafe!

Now- Assistant English teacher in Japan.

Future/in my dreams - professional novelist.

 Which hippie are you in the picture(just teasing).  Seriously, though... which person in the shot is you?

I do a lot of media type work.  Such as graphic design, web design, printing, 3D modeling and Illustration, Architectural rendering, and I produced/filmed and edited a few videos.  e.g. Doug Seven's 'Sizzling Guitar Licks' instructional videos.   And all of this means just one thing...I can't focus for the life of me.

Fuels chemist and casual hero.

Before you ask: Yes, gasoline will probably reach $4/gallon this year. Yes, the oil companies make lots of money. Yes, it is sinful. No, biofuels don't make a small dent in the amount of liquid fuels we use and won't for a long time. All they do is make some people feel good and make others lot of subsidized income. Ethanol is a waste of energy to produce. Hydrogen will require $3 to 5 trillion for infrastructure changes. No, it won't happen anytime soon. Neither will commercial fuel cell powered vehicles. Of course, Congress has no clue what to do or the will to do it if they did know. Yes, they will find a fad that sounds good and promote it for all the wrong reasons. No, the public won't understand anything about it except that they will pay.
