You?

A forum perennial. Thought it might be interesting, well to me anyway.

I am bored shitless and would like to ask what folk on here do for a living?

I am a Lithographic printer, commercial stuff, full colour.

What about you?

I am a fine art student. During the holidays (started september '07, finishes july '10) I work in galleries putting up pretty paintings so people can stare at them, and then I take them down again, wrap them in a duvet made of bubble-wrap and cardboard, then put them in a lorry or in a cupboard. Technically I also work in a bar. Even more technically, I am jobless as I only work in a gallery once a month (if I'm lucky) and I try and avoid working in a bar, because it's the 3rd layer of hell.

This morning I got a letter from evans cycles, informing me that I will know in 10 days whether or not I have a job with them. Good times

What the fuck is tortology - the study of tarts?

I'm not sure there was anything tautologous about 'professional fakenger'. The courier is the professional, the fakenger might be unemployed, or a student, or whatever. Reference to the the professionality of a particular fakenger adds information that genuinely modifies the noun i.e. someone is paid to be a fakenger.

Like your good self :p

Grad student for the next month, and then receptionist/waitress/barmaid or something. Reach for the stars, and all that.
