28. that's not really an other

you could answer about the field you were in, in which case you might still be an 'other' as I am since there is no category for 'service grunt'. Also interesting how engineering is lumped in with manufacturing and construction.

I don't think this is "entertainment," for me or for the clients. In fact, I think my former 20-year career as mainstream journalist fell more into the "entertainment" category than does my current career as an artist.

what kind of work do you do?

[Shine]

11. I am a F/T MOM of two kids and a P/T Hospice volunteer

I don't get paid for the work I do, but, believe me, it's WORK, nonetheless! I guess I get paid in the INtangibles, through smiles and good feelings... I am, indeed, blessed. :loveya:
