So, what do you do for living?

[termninja 5,290]

Hello friends.

On this forum we have so many different people with various backgrounds, I thought it would be interesting to find out what every one of us is doing for living at this moment? This is something I absolutely have no idea when it comes to TC members, it's not a topic often discussed so I find it worth being opened. It would also be interesting to share with us some funny stories from your job and some not so funny ones also.

I can start to break the ice.

I'm a computer programmer, though I could also be called a computer scientist as I have recently started working as a researches in the field of artificial inteligence and machine learning. My favorite languages are C++, Java and Python, though I had some funny relationships with PHP, JavaScript, Haskell, C and C#.

My studies were very difficult so I wasn't around in the last couple of years on the forum that much, but damn I missed this place.

It's funny to remember now that 7 years ago when I joined, I could barely write a program to sum 2 numbers while today I have experienced so much from the field of computer science that I find it rather shocking now. It is very nice to grow together with TalkChelsea during these years.

In my past, I've also worked in KFC in the kitchen, I also sold souvenirs to tourist and I must admit that these 2 jobs thought me much different yet extremely useful skills. They thought me how to get my hands really dirty and how to haggle to the extreme.

Currently I work as a Android programmer and faculty teaching assistant at Faculty of Mathematics in my country.

Your turn now, please tell us about yourselves!

I need advice about moving in Canada
Now I live in Canada, Matheson. I want to move to Toronto. 
I have already found housing. Want to buy. But how to move and take all of the old house? I think maybe to take advantage of mmovers.ca service? What do you think?

I've been working in a DHL warehouse for the past 4 years in a dead-end job. Been overlooked for 2 promotions, one just recently for a total newbie who knows jack shit and now he's my boss and I need to teach him... fuck logic eh?

In free time 99% of time I intoxicate myself alone by smoking and drinking. This is what you get having suffered crippling depression for 10+ years, but at least there is always a way out when I well and truly get tired of this shit. This is the truth, I don't talk about it much, but here you go, that's what I do for living. Exciting isn't it?

I work for DHL Global Forwarding

Have you tried to quit smoking? I smoked daily for about 12 years, stopped about 6 months ago. In my experience weed greatly enhances depressing feelings / anxiety (in the long term)
