50+ hours per week pimping parts for a small VW retail shop. 10-15 hours per week doing freelance web design (pays a lot better).

The rest of the time, I'm a juvenile delinquent.

I mostly just store things in my shed for my friends.....then chase them around for months asking them to romove it. It's a long boring job that seems to take forever...I do get results tho...I'm persistant!
When i'm not doing that I work as  tec guy for an automotive paint manufacturer...glorified painter!
Funny guy...I picked it up on Tuesday and you wanted me to get it  on the following Sat.... :angry:

Aircraft maintenance engineer. (fancy way to say licenced airplane mechanic)

I do restorations on antique and classic light planes, sell parts, brokering, appraisals, annual inspections, and run a hay farm that grows alot of busses lateley.

The income though comes from being a slumlord, gotta love that commercial real estate.

so your one of those punks that tries to sell me every friggin filter, fluid, and dodad EVERY time i take a car in to get a basic oil change?
"sir, our records indicate that you havent changed your in-cabin airfilter in 3 and a half weeks, we recommend that you change it at least once a week; would you like me to go ahead and change it for you?"
gets me angry just thinking about it....... :wacko:

oh yeah, im an apprentice machinist....
haha, that reminds me of a time my dad took his car in for an oil change, the previous day he had his rear end oil changed/serviced...and they were trying to tell him it needed to be done and wouldnt recomend him driving the car till it was done.

Currently between jobs, but my last job was a slitter Operator for a company that made packaging tape. Before that I was a press-man at a printing company that made scratch lottery tickets for Loto-Quebec.
