I have a small side business that I do here and there, Web Design and Web Hosting. I don't do much just a coupla clients but it helps to supplement my vw passion. Making Gordon's European Used Parts site has certainly helped get me some good deals at Gordons... worked out great!

Plus five nights a week at white spot, serving up those OOO burgers :P

An additional couple or days are spent floggin sporting goods at Coast Mountain Sports.

But yea, might be going back to univ this fall...  :unsure:  :wacko:  :blink:

My job is manager of special projects, but my official title is Radiation Safety Officer.  

My employer is a nondestructive testing service provider to the industrial and commercial/construction sectors.  

It all sounds pretty stuffy, but between work and raising two teenagers and a 9 year old, I barely get enough time to work on my bug.  

So I am thinking of taking a month off... :rockon:

I handle online sales and e-customer service for Vancouver specialty retail store Wilkinson's Autombilia through our web store eAutomobilia.com. I develop and maintain our web presence, search engine optimization, customer database, ebay and online promotions. I also maintain our in-store inventory databases, shipping, receiving and some point of sale customer service. Been there nine years and am starting to think about even greater challenges.

I'm a stay at home single mom of 3.  I go into my eldest son's school 3day/wk and assist him in class.  He has Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Severe ADHD and Schitzophrenia.   Every other weekend I break free from my parental duties and get the heck outta my house.  I go to Delta sometimes so my brother can instruct me in the ways of the VW...lol!  My plate is full.

Used to live from paycheck to paycheck to mod my bug(BAH who needs a social life or a girlfriend!?) During that time was shop boy/bitch doing everything and anything on a old car farm out in Langley. Now I'm a trust fund student till I get back and then I have to find a job.
Oh yeah somewhere in between I did a bit of mail-boy office work.
Now in search of a full time summer job that I can extend into part time during the fall...

Yeah well we are kind of from the same mold.
We both have 62's.
But I'm jealous of his ragtop :o
And were both the inherently young guns yet at least I know to keep my lugs tight and my brakes(Well 76BUSTED can account for that).
Now to think about it were not that alike..
