Machine Gunner
Like a lot of you I do more than one thing.
My day job shifts a bit every 6 months or so like any corporate job, but is basically tech management and/or system architecture for a big financial company. I joke that I get paid to imagine and draw pretty pictures of technology and then explain them to people on the phone all day. I still own a tech. consulting company on the side too - mostly a couple core small business customers, but that's been sitting on the side for a while due to being so busy with other stuff.
Our family also owns a wedding dress / gown / prom store, and even though I don't work there on a scheduled basis, it does seem to take up a lot of my time. Sometimes I get paid, more often not so much... lol. Started out in a tiny strip mall 15ish years ago, and now I think we're now the biggest store in this part of the country. (My wife is pretty awesome). You'd be surprised the stuff you see in a bridal store though - girls are crazy. More than once I've heard "oh, it's ok - it's nothing you haven't seen before, I'm sure" 
Finally, I've had my FFL Mfr. / SOT license for a while. I tried stocking guns and doing gun shows 4+ years ago and ran away quickly from that. Mostly I buy/sell/transfer suppressors and other NFA stuff at this point, which honestly is what I enjoy the most. Wish I had more trigger time though and less "work" time - that's the downside to treating firearms as a business. I keep telling my wife I'm ready to set up a counter at the bridal store. I've proposed we rename the store to "Shotgun Weddings" and sell package deals, but so far she's not going for it.
