By day I'm a technical editor/database manager/technical document producer/systems integration analyst. Heh, writing all that out makes me want a raise!
So I edit technical documentation for one of the largest defense contractors in the world for one of the oldest still-working aircraft in the US fleet (U-2, the Dragonlady). I help get the books out to the field, I make sure the database is doing all that it should (which is a lot), and make different software programs work together properly to make it all happen. It's not as creative as working for magazines and whatnot (which I've done in the past), but it's a great steady job for a great company, and I like the key people I work with. We're a little overworked and things rarely come together like they should, but we make it happen.
By night (and on weekends) I'm a professional belly dancer. I've been studying Middle Eastern dance for over 10 years, and in a few days will be leaving on a trip to Egypt, where among other more touristy things I'll be studying with some of the best master teachers of this art form in the world!
