Just bored, figured I would make a new thread.

I work at Exxon Mobil in Baytown TX for a contractor, I'm and instrumentation fitter, this fall I'm going to start taking classes to become an instrument tech. Basicly I bend and install tubing to control valves and instruments,and run air supplies to valves and instruments. Techs calibrate and loop check electrical circuits to instruments. It pays good and is enjoyable work.

I am still in school. I have a BS in mechanical engineering and am working on an MS in Nuclear Engineering. I am on the fence about trying to get a job in mechanical engineering and quitting my MS work, trying to get an ME job and working nights on my Masters, or trying to find funding to be a full time student for another 3 months. I can't afford it on my own, my source of funding has dried up, so I don't know.

I switched dealerships to one closer to home and with it was bumped back down to salesman. I work for a Ford dealership that is currently owned by a 21 year old fresh out of college young man. The dealership has LOTS of potential but is still being managed by the same people that have been doing it for about 25 plus years. Asking them to change something is like asking someone to whip their rear with barbwire. It's an uphill battle to return this place to where it could and should be... Hopefully, I can help and with that get myself back into management...

I'm a truck driver and equipment operator. It's my job to haul "whatever" to the job and then operate it. The basic stuff includes skidsteer, mini-excavator, backhoe, articulating(twists in the middle) loader, and excavator. I've been off for several weeks too, thanks to a very old injury which was just surgically repaired. I'll be back to work Tuesday unless I have to serve jury duty, which is scheduled to begin the 7th. The pay is fair and I get to go from one thing to the next so I don't get totally bored with anything. And since I'm also a service-connected disabled veteran, I'm not really forced to work all the time. But I'd rather work so I'm not financially strapped. You all know how it is to want spending money...

I have a degree in Computer Science, so the first 12 years of my professional life I worked in IT. Never really had a passion for it, enjoyed the work and the fact that I wasn't stuck in the same office all day. Mainly did general network, server and PC support, starting off with Novell Netware and early versions of Windows/DOS right up to current versions of Windows Server and desktop systems.

About five years ago I had a bit of a sea change. Chucked in my IT job and started working for myself, partially because I was sick of the particular employer I was with at the time, but also because deep down, I really wanted to write stories for hot rod magazines!

So these days I spend most of my time as a freelance journalist for Australia's largest selling car magazine, Street Machine , www.streetmachine.com.au. I still do a bit of IT work, but just for one small legal firm.

The rest of my time is spent bringing up our two kids, a 2.5-year-old boy, and a 4-month-old girl.

I'm technically self-employeed but have long term contracts with two companies.

I spend about half my time working for a private investor out of Jacksonville, FL. He owns about 125 investment homes around Atlanta. I manage the properties for him and do all the rehab work when we get a house back.

The other half the time I work for a company out of Miami called SystemOne. They make recycling parts washers. www.systemonetechnologies.com I write all their technical documents, research on product changes, solicit distributors, etc... Right now I'm working with a company in UK to expand sales into the EU. I'm gonig to Miami next week to prepare six units to ship to the UK for testing. I'll be following them over to supervise... Woohoo...

I don't think it matters what people make or produce, as long as they have a good steady job and can pay their bills...That's all that matters....

Late, as usual ...
I'm pretty much an "all around guy", but technically speaking, my job title is "Salesman".
It's odd, I still do much more than that.

Watching yourself in the mirror as you pleasure yourself while thinking of your "black girlfriend" doesn't make you a porn star.

That's not what he's thinking of. He's thinking... "What would it be like if I had a black DICK? ...instead of this micro-penis."
