Status: offline 		I was just wondering what everyone does for a living, if you would care to share. I am disabled but I make chainmail (maille) jewelry which my wife and I sell at the SC State Farmer's Market. Here is an example of my work. This is a choker I made about two months ago. The weave is called DragonScale, a very intricate weave. All of the rings are 18g. bright aluminum or anodized aluminum. This picture does not do this piece justice. I also make pieces for men, usually heavier 16g. bright aluminum but I can also do pieces in jeweler's brass (yellow brass). Chris.

When I am not in command of some Army of the Whatever, I spend my days as a staff accountant for a marketing firm.

Took voluntary redundancy last year and now work part time at a local tourist information centre. Considerably less money, but also a far better quality of life. No regrets.

9 hour days, but 4-5 of them are sitting in the truck listening to music, so not too bad. Only downside is that I work at night, so I live pretty much like a vampire
