tell me your profession

I come from a banking background, when I introduce myself to someone new I describe my occupation as one of the below depending on how much I want to shock them:

1 - Run my own business
2 - Run a mail order company
3 - Sell lingerie and adult toys
4 - Work in the sex industry

Pick which one you prefer (4 is my favourite).

I'm a student and a jack of all trades on the side,

I buy/sell, draw artwork and design, session guitarist, and a mixer
I don't make much from these, but i enjoy my little hobbies

I'm making a wallpaper for a guitarist's website just now,
it's relaxing to draw :)

I sell pre-owned, vintage and retro clothing and accessories online. When time permits, I still do a bit of freelance journalism and am the (volunteer) convener and press officer for a national charity.

Previously, I was a parliamentary researcher for 7 years and did various stints in the voluntary sector while home educating my three children. And before that I ran my own language services agency for about 6 years.

I have long since given up on my ambition of becoming a world class drummer. :D

Regards, Alison

Yes tried it and to be honest didn't like it, tasted a bit like Tetley, it had a twang. We are more of a PG, CO-OP 99, Yorkshire Tea kinda firm.
