What i do...i am a professional coffee drinker! However, during the day and of course some evenings, all depends on the election cycle, I am a Project Director for a political advertising firm in DC....so yes soon the no sleep and drink coffee all day will begin yet again.

I now manage a bunch of talented engineers and have been away from doing any real design work for quite a few years. Some of the remaining creative urges (those not stomped out by doing admin work) are channeled into cooking, gardening, and trying to transform green beans into heavenly espresso.

So what's your opinion of Misha's? After a multi-year break, I'm actually starting to like the lattes again.

Do you know John F, the guy who rides the scooters?

Software architect here, whiteboards, hand waving and tiny bits of code for a large Systems Integration and Hosting company. I've been doing it (IT) for about as long as I've had my Elektra.

Pretty interesting. As for me, I've spent the last 21 years fighting fire in the City of Buffalo. Also retired from USAFReserves as a Korean linguist.

For the last 13 years have owned my own business which provides outsourced network and computer management to small businesses. In previous lives was a rural and inner city minister and spent 20 years as a social worker developing support, foster care and treatment programs for "at risk" teenagers.

I'm a barista at the local shop Coffee Matters.

However, I am still in university to become a mechanical engineer.

I wish there was more money in being a barista, I'd love to continue it..... I still might.... who knows!

Am I the only banker in here? I won't bore you with details, but in general my job is managing relations with other financial institutions, more specifically other banks from certain OECD countries. This covers the (usually) bilateral view on both the selling and buying of the full products/services spectrum.

In addition to the enjoyment, hobby and passion aspects of coffee it is also something more hands on that balances things out for me.
