No wonder our government webpages are so terrible.

I swear... I have little to nothing to do with that. Or the Phoenix pay system.

That's because his boss is a drama teacher...

That's exactly what someone involved with it would say! I've only been mildly affected by it.

Substitute at that, right?

I have as well. Three times. I find I get excited when my pay cheque isn't messed up.

I work in creative branding (primarily in healthcare, so the 'creative' part is up for debate ). I'm in charge of all my company's branding initiatives, and I also serve as our lead copywriter (which may explain my nerdy habit of going back to edit my posts here). I write copy for ads, our webpage, product descriptions, videos, podcasts, blogs, etc. I also work with our Design department a lot, and I have a background in art and design.

Relevant to playing goalie? Not so much... there's probably some connection to my fascination with goalie brands and how they're packaged (name, design, logos, etc.) but it's pretty flimsy.

Freelance Autocad technician. My clients are interior designers mainly working in commercial interiors. I sit in front of a computer all day but it lets me work remotely. I used to live in Vancouver but now am in the Kootenays. I used to be a software developer before that.

What did you do in the Marines? I was USAF SATCOM, now working with cellular networks.

...oh damn, I was gonna say my day job was a porn star, but then you started talking about radios and I got all serious

I was in comm as well, specifically radio.  VHF, HF, and Satcom.  I never thought I would ever find a job that had anything to do with what I knew coming out of the Marine Corps.

You’re not a porn star?

And all of this time, I was led to believe that’s what you were...

I worked with mobile SATCOM (Combat Comm), mainly microwave LoS, Tropo Scatter and SAT. This was one of my former units (5th Mob in Robins AFB): https://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2012/06/05/air-force-mob.cnn

C'mon, there's plenty of jobs out there for radio guys. I found a job within a month of leaving the Force in 1999 and have not been unemployed a day since.

Just because @estogoalie is sending you nudes, doesn't mean he does it for a living.

Protein deconstruction specialist at your locaL coop.  I cut meat.  Can't remember a time I didn't skate right from early on.  Dropped hockey playing defence in pee wee took up reffing.  Got back into rec couple years back team needed a goalie to continue so I volunteered.  Loving it ever since!

I played around 4 games as a defenseman before switching to goal as a 6 year old. My dad was a goalie, so that was that. The artistic aspect of the position is certainly a bonus.

This is a neat thread.

I'm working my way to being a quality engineer, currently an inspection specialist that works with the QA department for a company that manufactures pacemakers.

Pretty nice stuff! Are you an Ayn Rand fan? For some reason some of your designs made me think of Atlas Shrugged, go figure.

Like my brother barrister @Fullright I am a bottom feeder.  I mean, attorney.  I get confused sometimes.  Nothing to do with hockey, although my office looks like a man cave with my goalie masks and some classic Cooper gloves.  

And @cwarnar, that's the best description I've ever heard.

Thanks, man!

I'm not an Ayn Rand fan, but I know the cover you're referencing. That Art Deco style is definitely an influence in my work.

I'm a huge Ayn Rand fan (Anthem is my favourite book of all time) and I agree - that art style is fantastic. Love your work. You going to get into mask painting at any point?

Financial Examiner - Correlation: Opportunity

When I chose my career path it was based on the opportunity to enter a profession always in demand, kind of the same when I started playing goalie.  There always seemed to be a demand for goalies and I took that as endless opportunities to play.
