Used to look after golf courses through Queensland (Cairns, Whitsundays and Brisbane) as well as in the US, Fiji and Indonesia. Did a Masters degree while in Brisbane and was offered a PhD in 2004 which I finish in October this year. I actually breed grass now for golf courses, ones that will stand up to the drought and resistant to disease, etc.

Cheers.

Maybe you could give me some tips on breeding some good grass for my little backyard. At the moment it looks like there has been some INbreeding going on. [smiley=shocked.gif]

Must get tiresome running around on the lawn, stomping your feet and yelling "Stop it! Stop it you naughty grasses!"

Besides you guys on grass, is EVERYONE working in IT ??!!!!!???!!!

I am a full-time carer for a psychopath . But apart from being married (well, de facto -- good enough!), I work in welfare. No really I do.
I work in the community services. Specifically, crisis and mid-term accommodation services for homeless men. Shift work is the nature of the beast, so coffee is my best friend.

What a great thread...really interesting to read about what people do. We chat amongst ourselves and its good to get a feel for what people do for a crust.

Im a Barrister....trying to be a Barista. Been doing legal work for 17 years now and have always relied on coffee and strong black tea to get me through long Court days.

Cheers all on a great site. It invites often robust discussion and disagreement, but I have to say that everyone is clearly concerned with good grace and acceptance of other peoples ideas...its a refreshing change to many sites on the WWW.

Wow. Just read all 16 pages.  

I am one of the engineering crowd. Designing and commissioning new tooling in one of Mr Pratts numerous plastics packaging manufacturing sites. Our manufacturing plant converts about 7,000tonne of plastic each year into packaging that is destined for the bin.

I acknowledge coffee as the most important study aid available when tackling an Engineering Degree.

It wasnt until I went to one of the Aroma festivals that I realised that life would never be complete without an ECM Giotto. I immediately emptied my coin bin (yes, it was a big bin) and made the necessary life investment  8-)Happy Days 8-).

Re: What do Coffee Snobs do for a crust


Fortunately, she has got a sense of humour -- I mean, shes with me! ;D

Unfortunately, she does sometimes read this site :-/, so i may be in the poo. Did i mention that she is the light of my life and that i also dearly love her mother?

Maybe we need a thread for CS partners?
Behind every great Coffee Snob and their espresso there is a spouse wrinkling their nose and adding buckets of sugar. :
