Nightwing has a podcast too, called LegendsPodcast. What’s the name of your podcast? I’ll give it a listen 
This has nothing to do with my current job of Industrial Welder, but I was a cook/chef for many years.
I went to the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Italy (me being American made me the foreigner…weird!) in 2001, specializing in Fine Dining and I went to a Technical High School my senior year, studying Culinary Arts.
I was a chef in different places over the years, but I ended up getting out of it and into manual labor type jobs, cause man being a chef pays waaaaaaay too little for the stress that the job entails!
From being a “grunt”, manual laborer, I landed a job being a welder and now I love to stick metal together!
ooooh. pretty sparks!
Wow, that’s quite a tough regimen.
I do a podcast, the link is in my signature, however I am taking a break for a few months while I complete my PhD thesis.
Man, I didn’t know how little being a chef paid until my brother-in-law moved in with us after he separated from his wife. He has a similar degree (from whatever the big school in Vermont is…) and is making peanuts right now working at a sub place, of all things. I thought being a musician was bad! :eek:
It’s called Atomic-Powered Super-Cast. We’re itunes, and then there’s the website: www.atomicpoweredsupercast.com.
Only been at it a handful of months, we tend to release on Thursdays/Fridays.
And the hours SUUUUCK.
BTW, was it Johnson and Wales University perhaps? I had a scholarship to go there (ended up at a different school though)
Also, Jarrak and Phazedout have The Gatecast, a Stargate SG1 podcast. I think there’s a few others on here that do podcasts.
I Did a cast for KINGS when it was on… doing a one man podcast is just to much work to make people mad at you… ( heck, i do that all day everyday with no prep work.)
No idea. But I can ask.
I’ve been listening to Nightwing’s podcast. Its a pretty fun podcast and I really like the movies he chooses.
And, Baconface, I hope you enjoy our little podcast. We have a lot of fun making it. And please let us know how we can improve it, we do want it to be good but after 15 episodes we haven’t gotten any feedback.
Thank you! Always great to know we do something right 
I’ll make sure I’ll check yours this week end.
Feedback are a rare thing so hang on and record my friend!
I operate a rolling bio-hazard (know what you mean, Reg!)- in other words, I’m a school bus driver since '92:
I’ve worked a few departments at Home Depot when it was fun to work there- been a barista at a mom n pop coffee shop, and a host of odd jobs here and there.
Fell into the bus thing when my bff told me they were hiring college students. They kept paying me better and gave me benefits and I never finished school- lol! I like what I do. Right now I drive primarily special needs kids in my wheelchair bus.
Since I listen to GWC I was a Cash Manager, Customer Service Representative, Customer Service Representative Expert and Service Professional and this is pretty much all the same job.
Basically I am a Bank Clerk with a nice title
But my favorites title were Assistant Set designer (on movie set) Vice president (in a toy distribution cie) and Video Store owner. That was in another life.
As of today, I have a new hat: I am a certified Volunteer Income Tax Preparer. I’ve wanted to do this for a few years but I finally sat through all 12 hours of training and passed the test. From February until April 18 I will be helping low-income folks in my area prepare their taxes to maximize their refunds and encourage them to save some of the money they get back. Yay!
Aerospace Engineer, doing structural analysis for one of the aerospace defense guys. I get to do math and write reports, the former is way more fun then that later.
Hard to fight the man when your part of the military industrial complex.
To the fastener folks from a few pages ago,
Hurray! 2nd oversize Ti Hi-Loks, always amusing to approve a drawing with fasteners worth 1/4 your annual salary.
I am a paralegal at a bankruptcy law firm. It’s just kind of something I fell into, not really my chosen path. I’ve been at this firm for about 1.5 years now. When I first started listening, I was in the restaurant business. Head chef at an upscale Italian place for awhile, then I had a cushy overnight food prep job at the same place (supplemented by a side job washing dishes :mad:)
My real passion is writing. I’m trying to break into freelance, still working on making some samples I’m happy enough with to pass around. I’d like to do enough so that I can bump back my legal job to part time, maybe eventually quit all together and write full time. It’s tough to get a good start though. Eventually I would love to write comics and/or horror fiction.
This has been a very interesting thread!
Oh yeah, of course a bit of mad science on the side as well.
I agree, Steve. Although, I’ve fallen into that trap from time to time just because I seem to go through life trying to think of what I should be saying. A lot of times I’m more interested in where they grew up for some unknown reason.
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I teach at Chatham in Pittsburgh. I moved to Daisytown because it was halfway between Pittsburgh and Morgantown where my then-girlfriend now-wife was living.
Why didn’t the houses have porches?
When workers would start talking about organizing, anti-labor forces would blow through town and firebomb the houses. A lot of the porches went up in flames. I want to say the Coal & Iron police were responsible, but I forget whether they were active in the area. I might be thinking of something else. Ask around, let me know if I’m wrong.
hi! Just a request: Could you design a functional Colonial Viper? I just know it’s a dream all of us have in GWC ~_~
That sounds like quite an adventure! I’ve heard the horror stories of how stressful being a chef is. Some of the stories were really sad too, really tough stuff like how rampant substance abuse is in the culinary world, which is sort of why I’ve put off going to culinary school.
It’s not something I want to do as a profession now, but just a hobby!
Also someone asked if anyone else here on the forums has a podcast and I thought that was pretty incredible timing as Video Game Hangover: www.vghangover.com launched as of yesterday!
It’s a podcast for gaming enthusiasts that sometimes over indulge.
Somehow I got dragged into it, we’ll see how it all goes though!
