whats does everybody here do for work?

[Timberwolf]

I've done a lot of jobs in my 25 years of being alive (I know I'm a young'n). Everything from swingin' hammers, to tours in Iraq, to pushin' papers, police work (MP), busted shoplifters for Wally world....After Iraq, they saw fit to make me a pilot. Now I fly one of these.

P.S. GREAT THREAD!!!

I WUZ a controls engineer (my sympaties to Muleskinner) for about 20 years, the last 10-ish as a consultant. Travelled all but 3 of the fifty states, mostly on somebody elses nickel. Got laid off 7 years ago and started doing custom woodworking as a vocation instead of a hobby and have never looked back ! Loving the time home with the wife, kids and grandkids.


btw - Sniffer, Old Dog: NICE work !

Well, after reading all of the posts on this thread, we do have a wide variety of positions that we do everyday. I work for Dishnetwork here in San Antonio as a Field Service Specialist. Which means i install Satellite systems in your residence. Nice thing about my job is that i get to travel east and south of San Antonio, so i get to see a lot of country side and find lots of old abandoned houses. Too bad i don't have time to detect in between jobs. But that wouldn't be fair to my wife because we both love this hobby and like to hunt together . But good thing is that I'm always trying to inquire to some of my customers about maybe getting to detect on their property. Hopefully I'll get an ok........ eventually.

Bench top models for wood preservatives, windshield wiper blades, cosmetics, etc. My main job is building custom on-line analyzers for oil, gas, and crude.

G Y P S Y Sheeah lost luv, First you tantalize me with your with your suggestive working dress, then when I was reaching my weakest boiling point, I actually, foolishly, requested you to cover your legs.

THEN, I recanted my vows, and Sainthood, but when I returned to leer, I only found an angelic creature (different age) , one which society frowns upon leering at,

SOOO mi lost luv, now that I am no longer a Saint, with no restricting vows, P L E A S E return to your provactive working dress picture so that my renouncing my Sainthood and vows was worth it.

Hopefully waiting with a ferocuious leedr ready ---------even considering grring a moustache so that I can twirl it, sides I have received many death threats

Quick story Waz,

years back a friend lost his job in a corporate turnover. He pulled in $175k a year + bonus.
Tommy was NOT concerned.

His wife had 3 established care centers just outside a large metropolis.
He got onboard and they added two more right away.

They had kids from six weeks old to 16yrs old.
Major bucks!

His biggest problem ended up finding help to watch the kids.
HUGE waiting lines to get in...
