Thatā€™s the hope šŸ˜‰ On that note, I want to get discussion here going again! Where do you people work? Or what do you go to school for? Iā€™m always curious about professions, as there are a million interesting and unusual ones. This new job I am starting is a customer service position for a beer and wine homebrewing supply wholesaler. I already make my own beer at home, so this is a perfect job for me! So what do you do to make the world go round? ---

I was a computer programmer. I did work on the DivX system (back when it was a DVD service from Circuit City), did some website backends, and created a DirectX interface for a nuerofeedback helmet. But Iā€™m now ā€œmedically retiredā€, so spend my time gaming and tutoring high school/college math. I also created the go-to guides for Everquest expansions from 2007 to 2011 ---

Hello everyone, I am currently a Software Engineer in the healthcare industry. I have been developing applications and games since 1999. I created [StreetWarz.com](http://StreetWarz.com), It was a Turn Based Web Browser game and lasted from 2000 to 2006. I have also worked in the bitcoin/altcoin industry optimizing miners. I have run IRC networks, mIRC scripting, and beyond. I have been a hardcore gamer since coleco vision, atari, etcā€¦ Some of my favorite games: Final Fantasy 11 Final Fantasy 14 War Craft: Frozen Throne Diablo: All of them I have also played both Puzzle Quest 1 and 2, and completed them. Iā€™m just sad I didnā€™t find out about gems of war until about a month ago. I would have been playing this since it was released. I have always been a Magic the Gathering fan since Series 1 and this game resembles it with additional strategy of the puzzle instead of luck of the land. Glad to be a part of this community. ---

I did different jobs, including theatrical costume designer and insurance adjuster for workerā€™s compensation. Now I spend my time playing games and doing hand embroidery and quilting, plus taking care of my 3-year-old great-niece. ---

I do finance for a large company. CPG (consumer packaged goods). If anyone wants some tips about how products get sold from manufacturer to retailer, please ask. Been playing games since the early 80s (both home gaming on those ancient consoles and arcades) As I get older, I donā€™t play as much as I did, and I prefer a combo of shooters, Bethesda RPGs and simpler indie type games (I donā€™t think I can ever sink endless hours into games like Wizardry anymore even though it was fun back in the day with my brothers doing graph paper maps!). Itā€™s funny because back in the day, Iā€™d memorize keyboard commands and such. But now, I just want to play games that are easy to control. So I guess Iā€™ve transformed from core gamer to casual. LOL ---

A bit early for the aperitif. šŸ™‚ I am in accounting too. I started working in accountancy firms and ended as a Chief Financial Officer. But currently I am a stay-at-home mother trying to work a little as a freelance.
