Working as a Postdoctoral Research fellow on kidney development (Dept. Biochem & Monash Uni).

<snip>


I know what YOU'RE doing: working hard to grow replacement organs (kidneys at first) to sell to AHB'ers who've deep-sixed their own :)
 
It does lend you a certain Je ne sais quoi

I just have a supsicion that the 'quoi' is something often associated with San Francisco and various Mardi Gras.

The white however is quite dashing.

I seem to remember a few of these types of threads - not sure if I've answered seriously to this one.

Work: 1. Hang, pack and install art for 2 companies/institutions regularly (two others less regularly).
2. Load, move set up and clean display furniture for expos

^all casual

Study: masters in Cultural Materials conservation (specialising in paper)

^Part time

Passionate about (besides brew related obviously): drawing, making industrial soundscape music.

Entrepeneurial: See Chappo.
 
The older I get the more I think robbing banks would have been a better career choice
 
IT also, but in Computer Forensics.

I do IT also, but for Ruralco Holdings. Pretty much my client base is a bunch of imbred yokels who can't speak english. Today, honest to god, I had someone today who didn't know what a spacebar was! But he was trying so I'll give him that much.
 
After reading through the thread I did not want to just put taxi driver down, so I embellished a little :D

Did a little of that 20 years ago, tell me your fav story:

Mine: Your fare is two drunks who sit in the back, one says "so mate, ever get threatened or anything"? me "no", "what would you do if say one of us pulled a knife"? me "I'd just reach down here under the seat where I keep my sawn off 12 gauge and shoot ya".......................silence the rest of the trip :lol:

Screwy
 
OK, I'm here, i don't brew (currently/yet). What else do I do? Currently undertaking my doctorate in medicinal chemistry, developing antimalarial treatments. Though, this changes by the day.. at some stage i was making solar cells. :blink:

In my spare time (12am-2am monday to friday!) I'm working on the brewery maybe. I have a million other things going on too, currently studying clinical hypnotherapy, in the midst of starting a business, and apparently flogging off test tubes to you lot. :p In the nanoseconds I have free, i'm entertaining SWMBO by letting her empty the contents of my wallet.




:D

I don't do enough nights to have any stories worth putting here, and little old ladies are not really prone to do things that are memorable.
 
Golf Course Superintendent (no I don't get to play golf all day). About to finish in September and head to Sydney and undertake a PhD breeding new sports turf grass.

Don't you love old posts.

Finished the PhD (graduate in 2 weeks). Back to the Superintendent/Agronomist role now and overseeing around a dozen golf courses and almost 40 racetracks throughout Oz and the south pacific.

My mate FNQ Bunyip thinks it's funny having a doctor of grass :D

I am what the RAAF refer to as a Mango and the Navy refer to as a Pongo. The ladies around the world have great taste and love the boys in green! Oh and a paramedic!!!!! Although brewing beer is
more rewarding !

Just a shit kicker in a Factory Building/Repairing pallets

My old work was in the 'Disaster Recovery' style work. Cleanup of electrical/mechanical damage caused by Fire/Flood etc etc. Also Dry Ice Blasting of Electrical cabinets, Gas turbines, Capacitor blowups or anything else required in Nth QLD/WA Mining Industry. Finished this job due to traveling required not working with my Family/Kids

Hobbies: CNC machines, RC Crawlers, Woodworking, 4x4 (comps and extreme off road more then daily drives) and Just started Brewing :) Anything else I find interesting I usually have a crack at it

Worked as a writer for a few years.... while in LA worked for NBC and CBS on various shows & sold a feature treatment. Have a novel currently 'under consideration' in NYC. Once got a BAFTA Rocliffe writing award which was nice... not that it makes any money for me, but still, nice to keep dust of the bookshelf.

Before that I was a glazing systems design engineer - three patents to my name. While waiting for the novel to sell and pay for everything i ever need I'll be back desiging super-fancy glass gadgets now I'm living here in Melbourne.

Will be publishing a few things electronically in a while - when I can get my ass in gear - so you'll all have to check them out (buy them) so I can spend the money on my brewery before SWMBO gets her hands on it and spends it on more shoes!
