DeepGreene,

Those occupations are there, but they usually are lower-rated, and I haven't added those yet.  Nytik - Grandmaster is there.  Crikey - Nothing on TV that I want to watch, unless its something new on the tennis channel.  Pitts - I'll add bread baker and bread winner any anyone else making the dough.

How about Owl Trainers?

If you could put me in touch with some other Owl Trainers I'd be very grateful. It's lonely out here in the woods.

But not Tawny Owl trainers, obviously.

Or Barn Owl trainers.

Or those Long Eared or Short Eared freaks. Sheeesh, they're just creepy.

I'm not interested in Fish Owl trainers either. Fish or Little Owls, Pygmy Owls, Scops, Eagle, Great Grey or Ural Owls. Nor Hume's, Hawk, or Marsh, for obvious reasons. 

Maybe Tengmalm's would be ok. But their eyes are a bit weird, aren't they? And I bet they play, like, The Grob and stuff. And be kinda too familiar, y'know... Nah, scrub the Tengmalm's Owl trainers...

Anyways...I gotta go. Think I heard something outside...

I thought freelance assassins was an omission so I looked for hitman.  No, not there either. Wink

What about 'knock-about clowns, quick change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats?' Innocent Bonus points if you get that reference. >:D

Seriously, though, I don't have any real occupation. Basically I help take care of my house and look after my cats, so...but it works for me.
