So the question was asked regarding what I do for work. My primary 'gig', particularly in the busy spring/summer months, is being a professional musician. I'm a bassist/composer working for 4 different bands/projects, and I also do freelance and studio work as well. As we all know, that doesn't always have the most predictable regular schedule, so I also maintain a day job to some degree in addition to it all. Up until the economy bit me over the course of the past year I worked as a graphic artist for a Real Estate magazine (was there for almost 3 years). I got laid off from that job in December of '08 after the market tanked. I got a great new design job with a design firm in town in January, but their advertiser base started drying up as well through the middle of the year and they had to let one of their artists go... that was me! SO, I currently work as a music seller for Barnes & Noble Booksellers for my day job. I never thought I'd ever go back to retail, but here I am. I actually worked at B&N when I was in college several years back, and some of the same folks I worked with then are still at the store I work at now. It's not my most desired job, but it's work... which is hard to find in these times, especially where I live. I work in the music department, so I get to put my music experience and knowledge to work, which makes it enjoyable. So, I was even more surprised when I got the big 'OK' to wear my kilt to work. This is a pretty diverse and accepting town with a lot of Scot/Irish culture and heritage, so people tend to really dig it. Who knows... maybe I'll sell more stuff because I'm the 'guy in the kilt'.
