<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 1968536, member: 37707&quot;]I&#039;m lucky enough to work for an employer that allows me a reasonable amount of time to work on side projects when it&#039;s not busy. I&#039;m a 911-emergency medical dispatcher. I dispatch for law/fire/ems and take Emergency and non emergency phone calls.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember reading a pretty old thread with people discussing what they did/do for a living. I think I might have missed out on responding to that one, but for whatever reason I think I remember that there were quite a few of engineers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I thought I would share my attribution ritual. Every time I receive 20 new coins, I go through this same process. Today I was lucky enough to have 40 newer coins, so will be spending a little more time on them. (it is a very slow day)</p><p><br /></p><p>Disclaimer: I hope some of you don&#039;t have a hard time loading this page like you did in the ABC Ancient Coin thread I nearly killed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I cut the resolution in half but this is a 20 MP camera</p><p><br /></p><p>I fill out my own custom slips in Microsoft Word then cut them out according to the size of slip I have my coins in. Currently I have 2x2 BCW flips. I remove the coins out of whatever flips/packaging they came in; then after measuring weight and diameter I place my coins in the flips along with the inserts.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348795[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]348796[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I then leave them stacked appropriately on my console for hours to stare at. haha. Sadly, this may not be as exaggerated as you may think. I designed the logo in Corel Draw</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348797[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorites of the first batch of 20</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348798[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I put these guys back in my box and take them home where they are placed into 1 of 8 binders according to their era and denomination; then it&#039;s off to the safe for as long as I can take before pulling them out just to look at them. Again, I really appreciate my employer allowing me to do this whilst on the job. Without it, I may go a little crazy with the same view every day. (sometimes I get strange looks when my monitors are full of coin pictures/websites.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]348799[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
