I'm a librarian; or at least I will be, once I finish library school - for now I am a humble library assistant...

Profession

Post by david birkett »

I am the Sales Manager of a company which represents independent publishers to the book trade.

If anyone posts that they're a deadly trained assassin for the secret services, it will be time to leave the Forum.

What work do you do?....... (Z's friend)

What!?
I have hands, feet.
Who the hell am I to choose!?
.......(Zorba the Greek)



labels

don't betray, new friend
me or you
by saying what you are
or do

we all must earn
our daily bread
just tell us of your heart
and head

my ears
are each a thirsty sponge
longing that
mellowed tongue
that knows the taste
of creative thought

...caressing
fleeting ideas;....... caught.....

Hi Paal ~

I understand your curiousity :D .

I love this excerpt, Mat, so robust:
What work do you do?....... (Z's friend)

What!?
I have hands, feet.
Quote:

.......(Zorba the Greek)
Ultimately, I agree so much:
labels

don't betray, new friend
me or you
by saying what you are
or do

we all must earn
our daily bread
just tell us of your heart
and head

my ears
are each a thirsty sponge
longing that
mellowed tongue
that knows the taste
of creative thought

...caressing
fleeting ideas;....... caught.....

I wanted to grow up to be a philanthropist, since I cannot remember how to spell this word from memory maybe it is beter I did not. I work as a Massage Therapist.

Love the Van Gough there was a segment on the radio about a new book about him called The Yellow House. It is about the time he and Goguin were roommates. It is one theory that Goguin cut off his ear with his sword.

I agree with Mat and Lizzy about 'labels'. Nevertheless, I
will disclose that I earn my bread and butter working in
IP law. I think it is more interesting though, to find out what
someone would have been if they could have been whatever
they wanted to be. I would have been a zoologist.
