Currently unemployed, I used to own a Etsy store selling embroidery and cross stitch patterns and did well at one point until site increased listing prices and their share of each sale I wasn’t making as much as I did in the beginning.

Due to my disability I can only work part time but jobs lately are all full time or they say I’m over qualified and turned down.

Is over qualified even a thing? Lol

Systems Integration Engineer. Basically combine a mechanical and electrical engineer and put them into one. I don’t have a degree in either field either. Just a partial mechanical degree and over a decade of experience with machine build/design/development.

Work-wise, I regard myself as retired now. Certainly not earning a living, anyway! :joy:
Been a few things over the years:

1974 - 1979: Worked in retail menswear and hated it
1980 - 1998: Actor
1988 - 2000: Photographer until spinal issues stopped me carrying heavy gear around
2001 - 2015: Web designer
Now: Performance poet, busy on the spoken word / slam scene. Loving it. :microphone:
