Good question, I guess it depends what day it is! I
have 4 jobs, only 3 of which I get paid for. I
supervise Bar Exams, I do contract work for a couple
charities (things like recruiting canvassers for March
of Dimes door-to-door campaign) and I do genealogy
research. The latter is the one I like best, but the
others are what keep me in money. The fourth job is
the unpaid one and the one that eats up most of my
time from March through July. I'm a festival organiser
(like you all didn't know that already). For the past
3 years I had been Secretary on the Board of Directors
for the Pride Committee Ottawa-Hull Inc, but at the
last AGM I had my self demoted to plain old
Entertainment coordinator, as I thought it would be
less work. It is, but I've become very disillusioned
with the Committee (who can't seem to get past petty
squabbles and personality conflicts). So, next year
(starting in August) I will be working with the drag
queens, helping organise the Miss Gay Pride
competition and assisting with some major fundraisers.

Hmmmm..... I do seem to lead an interesting life!
