I'm a SR. AIX Systems Administrator but lately every job I've had has been outsourced. Just trying to stay one step ahead of the outsourcing. Hmm, maybe I should consider a career change.

I also have a small business which helps to pay for my MINI fun.

I'm a doctoral student in Communication with an emphasis in Rhetoric.

I'm a graduate student teacher of (currently) two sections of Public Speaking.

I'm a Library Technician II in the Cataloging & Metadata Services Department of the University of Colorado Libraries. My specialty--being ****-retentive, aka, database management. I also catalog books, manage my department's homepage, liaise between the Acquisitions Department and my own on items of cataloging concern, and act generally as a central conduit for the passing-on of proper procedures (even for those occupying the tier above me).

Depending on availability, I also teach Sociology classes whenever possible.

Oh, and those are more like 24/7 occupations, with very few moments of respite. Being an academic--or training to become one--does not lend itself well to a 9-5 schedule, but those are the choices we make. As one of my professors said when I started my graduate program--the great thing about being an academic and professor is that at least you get to choose when to work the 60-80 hours of work per week.
