What is your other job (if you have one) besides harping?

[Donna O]

Hi,
I am a retired RN.

[kathy-chanik]

My goodness this is a fascinating

[tonya-a]

I am a pediatric RN, CFO/master-of-all-things-administrative for the business my husband and I own, mom of 4, and semi-professional pianist (which means I play regularly but don’t get paid).

[Chris Asmann]

I operate, adjust, maintain and repair telecommunications switching and transport equipment.

When you dial a phone number and the call reaches the right person, I’ve done my job.

I seem to be in the minority here, most of you who’ve replied are in jobs that are people-oriented while I work almost entirely with machines. I do prefer the machines though..

Internal Medicine physician and part-time organist.

[jane-jung]

I own and run a pet grooming and doggie daycare shop.

[Sylvia]

I am in the minority, too, but it’s because I’m very shy that I’m not a people person.

You know what we should do is all get together and form our own commune/cult of harpers and call it the Harp Gathering, like Denise’s festival.

[Liam M]

Process Control Engineer. I establish, commission, service and tune the basic and advanced regulatory control systems for major industrial processes. Control everything from pressure, temperature, level, flow etc to the exotics like ORP, pH, conductivity etc to produce products that I may not even know what they are finally used for. I travel constantly and my wee clairseach travels with me.

After a day of calculations, stress, computers and people, sitting quietly alone in my hotel room composing poetry and strumming the strings relaxes me. I tried other instruments, but the simplicity of the wire harp appeals to me. Even the lack of levers to adjust is attractive after a day of adjusting everything else.

Then when I came home, my shop is there where I can work with wood. The smell of sawdust and the feel of the wood as it comes alive in your hands is so delightfully different then the sterility of the projects I work on.

Great idea! I’m game….
