i'm an apprentice pipefitter. as my father before me. and his father before him. (and two uncles, but who really cares about that) (and, incidently, my great grandmother [mother of "his father before him"] was a secretary to one of the big mucky-mucks in the union hall years ago.) if you don't know what a pipefitter is, check out www.pf597.org, or just read my journal.
i decided to start a journal to keep track of what i'm learning, where i'm working, things like that. i did not start a journal to talk about my personal life (tho sometimes that creeps in a bit), post naked pictures of myself or anyone else (you wish!), or create drama. if you want those things, link to my friends page. ;)
before i became a pipefitter, i was a girl, a boy, an androgyne, an artist, a seamstress, a teacher, an administrative assistant, a receptionist, a babysitter, an Old Navy sales associate, a Cutco knife salesperson, a twin, a daughter, a UPS loader, an in-home caregiver for two elderly women, the frontperson of a band called Read the Tire (that's /red/), a collator, an AmeriCorps volunteer, an actress, a christian (namely presbyterian), an atheist, an agnostic, a wife, a spinster, a lover, a mentee, a mentor, an assistant program director for a non-profit, a success, a failure. some of these titles still apply.
