Network and Systems engineer, got fed up being at the mercy of MBA's who are more concerned about making the most while giving the customers the least. I recently started up my own business that is slowly, ever so slowly, growing. Hope to be able to afford health insurance and a steady paycheck soon. Another few months and I will have been in business for a year, then I will be able to bid on some state and local govt contracts that I can't do now.

I have been a lineman for Ameritech and Warner cable, a commercial garage door repairman, worked the docks at Yellow freight and eventually drove semi over the road, and ran the mailing dept for a major book printer and binder. Prior to all of that foolishness I was Para-rescue in the USAF until I broke my ankle/leg in a jump, had to change jobs(no longer qualified to jump) and became a medical material specialist, yes, this is a Gov't paid drug dealer, a trade I should have stayed in, having seen what they make nowadays, but I'm too old to take the risk. And I've always been a car guy, bought my 1st car(65 Impala wagon, shorted 26", with a hipo 327, it did bumper draggin wheelies) when I was 13 and I still ahven't learned to buy something that runs to get it home, but that's the fun of it, make it unique and do it cheap.

Scotty Mac. I AM a Bostonian and the last time I was in the Garden (not that Yuppified Fleet Center) I was home from the service on leave and took my dad to a Bruins vs Canadians game. LOL that was fun - We had Cheep Seats, and the sweetest little old blue-haired lady in the row in front of us was more profane towards Montreal than my Sergeant Major was towards us troops. It was more fun listening to her running commentary than any sportscaster could ever be. (she was probably Irish too LOL)
I REMEMBER A LOT OF FLAGS HANGING FROM THE CEILING THOUGH... I wish I kept my old Bobby Orr, Derek Sanderson, and Jerry Cheevers shirts from the late 60- early 70s... That was Tough Hockey back in those days. I liked it alot when the Celtics would play and the ice would melt underneath LOL...fogging out the hoops games.
Too bad about those Canes though. One year wonders eh?

Unfortunately, you'd be mistaken.
What I actually do is take a bunch of data from disparate sources, meld it together, massage it, put a nice spin on it, and then make policy recommendations to various state boards and the legislature. Then my agency gets sued and I am forced to spend a lot of time defending my conclusions in court. Happy day! Not. :(

I manage, sell, fix, recommend, stock, replace, install, throw, tag, mra (material return auth.), look up, and u.p.s. parts. If its a DC part I've probably done one of these things to it!

I have been a electronics tech in the semiconductor industry, but now am working part time doing data processing so I can start school this summer to become an automotive tech. Hopefully work towards ASE certification.

I'm the used car manager at a large Ford dealership. I buy and sell cars all day, and oversee our used car repair shop that reconditions the vehicles that we put on the retail lot.
I'm also the guy who tells you how little you'll get for your trade in. :)

These threads are so depressing. The grass is always greener on the other side.
I work in the supply end of the building construction industry doing inside and outside sales.

I'm a helicopter pilot. Basically entails being a taxi driver, bus driver, heavy equipment operator, sky-hook operator, general labourer, gas station attendant, meteorologist or just sitting in a hangar waiting for good weather. The term "hurry up and wait" gets used a lot. Nice view from the office, though :)

I partied with JMU on a weekly basis in my youth (somewhere around 1985 or so) as well as being locked in several nites down the road at a certain "girls" college. :D :D

nice. yeah i've been going here for about 7 years or so. LOL. i can't seem to leave for some reason. i question anyone who would.. and there is nothing wrong with dating girls that were in the third grade when i graduated high school
ary. its funny, all of my friends are from va beach.. little surfer, skater chicks.
:D

Thompson, you should come down and introduce me, I need a summer fling this summer:angel: although I prolly know at least a couple of them, or at least know of them.
Ary
P.S. Do you know Daniel Armentrout??

May 29th, 2003, 18:24
i used to now a couple of armentrouts that had a half-pipe in h-burg. i can't remember if it was daniel or not. i think he had a brother named andy though.
anyway... you definitely should have come to jmu for the ladies. but, it seems to me that half of 'em come here from va beach anyway... so you probably know what i'm talking about. but you get to see 'em in the summer and with far fewer articles of clothing.:D
Safari Ary
May 31st, 2003, 16:24
:angel: Yeah, I know what you're saying. I party up at JMU on occasion, and run into girls that I know from HS all the time.
Daniel Armentrout is going to be a Senior this year I believe. He's got a green XJ on 32 MT KMs for street and 34 LTBs for 'wheelin, that's why I thought you might know him. Although those could be his brothers with the halfpipe, it sounds like them....
