Work

[jim]

Just wondering what everyone does for a living. I worked in the construction industry for 20 years. Now I do maintenance in a 15 story office bldg.

I have been making saw dust for a living for 39 years. For the past 25, I make that saw dust on yachts building furniture and cabinets.

I am a professional gigolo.

I was working for a grading company in Raleigh before we started to build our new house at the coast.We built streets for new subdivisions and parking lots for shopping malls mostly.When I quit,we had gone from 170 employees to 40.From what I hear,things haven`t gotten any better.Once we get settled in the new place,I will manage a small,independant oil change and inspection garage for a fellow down here.I think I`ll enjoy it.Life moves at a much slower pace here.

I'm retired after 31 years at General Motors.

Dreaded sales rep. I work for a HVAC/R agency and cover 10-12 lines. I travel and cover the eastern half on NC and SC.

Got a Degree in Architecture. Burned out. Work as a manufacturing Engineer at a fiberglass company.

I'm a dentist but I see at least one if not more people a day on serious drugs looking for unnecessary prescriptions or on multiple occasions they have stolen money pills or instruments from my office presumably to use or sell so I carry in case of a real crazy crackhead. I'm also bigger than average but have been challenged to no less than 3 parking lot fights to "settle things like men" as the boyfriends of crazy crackhead female patients have put it.

I'm just a lowly police office puke. I always wanted to be a rodeo clown and wish I'd stayed with that career path. Construction was to hazardous.
Now I'm trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

I had gigilo at the top of my list but I see Ripley already has that covered.

Well Bawanna, you got half that wish.

[Bawanna]

Well Bawanna, you got half that wish.

I'm lost which half?

[O'Dell]

Let's see - we have a company that repairs auto interiors for high line car dealers; [I spend 2 or 3 hours a day at this to keep my hand in] I write for a couple of magazines; I own a computer company which is largely defunct now because computers are so cheap; I own some rental properties; I'm a silent partner in a restaurant. I tried to retire a couple of years ago, but that obviously isn't working.

This is from a reformed electrical engineer and lawyer - I say reformed because I quit both.

[O'Dell]

I'm lost which half?

Your missed the rodeo part.

[Bawanna]

Your missed the rodeo part.

Must be my fear of large mean animals with horns.

When you quit being a lawyer does your license and stuff just expire someday or can you go back and be a lawyer again?

You gotta go hang out in the bar and get official again.

I don't got any of them credentials I'm actually kind of looking over bridges to live under when I retire. My retirement planning leaves a lot to be said for.
I guess I got my toy box for one of them 407 plans or K plans, but I'm gonna hold out on that long as I can.
