Well, like any job, it does get boring/repetitive, lol. The lectures are fun, and the assignments are cool. MOST students are solid. It gives me an excuse to game I guess. Elden Ring is getting crazy good reviews!

Do you have to deal with the higher ed politics? I’m chair of my dept. I watched The Chair on Netflix and it took me three days to recover. I should never, ever’ve binge-watched that show. I mean, it’s the most accurate depiction of higher ed I’ve ever seen, but still….

I’m an electronics and real-time software engineer. When I was on Murmurs before, I designed and tested stabilized camera systems (mostly for helicopters and used for news, movies, etc). I was laid off… without notice… twice. So I went and did other stuff for a while.
In 2011, some ex-coworkers called and asked if I wanted to start a company with them doing the stabilized stuff again. Despite the shaky economy and uncertainty of it all, I said sure. It sounded like a great opportunity and a way to get out of the cubicle life. It was challenging, but after about 6 years we bought the company that laid us off which was satisfying. We’ve been in business for over 11 years now, and seem to have weathered the pandemic.
TL;DR - Still doing the same thing. lol

I wasn’t on the original murmurs, but I’ll play along: I’m a video game designer! I just…come up with fun stuff to happen in video games and I…make that happen. That’s literally a thing people can do for a living (it is a little stressful at times, I will say).

I sell high end hooch. No, like really expensive stuff.
Alright so I’m working as a fine wine expert for the Finnish monopoly retailer. The pay is shit but then again I get to taste the stuff that goes above a hundred bucks. Then people come and ask me if they’d like it and I can fairly often tell if they will.

Unpopular opinion…I don’t like the shape of most acoustic guitars. I haven’t a desire to play acoustic…for now, but when I do…it will only be an Acoustasonic.

I teach. Meaning I hold a permanent teaching certificate, and I have been a teacher full-time- Kindergarten. 
These days, due to health, I can only work part time, and so I am running a Before & After School program at a local childcare center.

Yeah, I’m in Ontario. I’m studying Geomatics, undergrad.
The last time I was in LA was in the before-times, 2019 or so. We were flying out of Whiteman airport testing with the news people. The Super Bowl this year used our gimbal, but I wasn’t directly involved.
I think the last time I flew out of Van Nuys was in 1998(?) and was with a large film camera at night over the freeways with the doors off the helicopter. Quite an amazing view. I wouldn’t doubt that a lot of movie cameras still fly out of there.

I haven’t yet flown into Whiteman, as Van Nuys is so close. I’m hoping to go flying this week

I am now a grocer. Ha! Currently am the dairy/frozen department manager at Fresh Thyme Market in Westerville, OH. After almost 20 years in the travel industry I still got laid off when the pandemic hit so figured I would find something pandemic proof. Grocery it is. I actually LOVE my job now which is a feeling I haven’t had in many years. So getting laid off was actually a blessing.

I still work in community age care, helping the old & frail stay at home longer. I’ve been doing this job for almost 15 years. I’m looking to retire in a couple more years, then I’ll have to find something else to do. My biggest fear in retirement is boredom.
