1. Approximate age
I am 19. You will get no decimals from me. I'm younger than Deadgye and Sweetums, though. Barely.
2. Career/profession/trade
I'm a full time student. I am pursuing a degree in computer science in video game design. I am a part time baker at a bagel bakery, and I really don't like it.
3. Civil status
Single.
4. Geographic location/nation of origin/ethnicity
I live in Wisconsin. My family is mostly German, Norwegian, and Bohemian/Czech.
5. Political leaning
I've learned that I tend to lean quite left and I'm very socially liberal. I used to think I was a conservative, but that was because I had pretty much had "conservatism = patriotism" jammed into my head from birth.
6. How you stumbled upon Alla's, now Zam (a stupid name).
I started playing FFXI in 2004, I think. Not long after I started playing, an in game friend pointed me here for info. I lurked for a time, commented on things for a while, and then began posting. Eventually I found the Asylum and OoT. The OoT was a barren waste land, so I stuck my face in the Asylum. For some reason, I felt that I really needed to post there. Then the OoT began to pick up, and I've been here pretty steadily ever since.

I currently work doing Technical Support for a manufacturer of Video conferencing equipment. It pays well and I work the graveyard shift during the week. It's nice and quiet, and I mostly get paid to surf the internet. I actually love working third shift. Because of my shift, I also only work a 4 day week, which quite frankly, rocks. I try to lead a normal life on the weekends as much as possible, but it can be hard to switch back and forth.
I have an Associate's degree in Computer science and aspire to go back to school to pursue a Bachelor's.

Paralegal. Been doing it now for going on 15 years. Thinking about heading to law school, but the idea of beginning to practice law in my early 40s is a daunting thought.
My wife is in the same position at a firm that specializes in patent law (she's bounced between being a paralegal and a legal secretary). She keeps talking about going to law school and I keep urging her to apply, but she completely psyched herself out over it after taking the LSAT's once 5 years ago and getting a score that she wasn't happy with (she won't tell me what she got). Her motivation is also hampered by the fact that all the lawyers she works with routinely pull 70-80 hour weeks, and her best friend who graduated from law school a couple years ago still hasn't been able to find a job that pays more than what a paralegal makes. It seems like there are a lot more lawyers out there than there are law-related jobs these days.
This is sososo true right now. Too many law schools pumping out about twice as many grads as there are jobs, even before everything tanked. Anyway, might as well answer since I've posted.
