I work in a mill fabricating limestone for the world's buildings. Our largest job recently was a large bank in Turkey. We did not get the job for replacement stone for the Pentagon, as a local competitor originally did the work years ago. They were awarded the contract again. The stone is being quarried 20 miles from my home.

Not employed for the past one and one-half years by choice.
Went through a nasty divorce a few months ago and have been selling-off what was once a pretty fair six-figure gun collection/accumulation to support my unwillingness to work. Last job was to come to Oklahoma, start-up and staff a telecommunications company. I was President, hired good people and they built the company from one employee - me- to a little over 400 employees and $40 million in revenue in three years. About time to consider going back to work - or something ! |

Procurement officer for a State agency. Been in the printing business & sold that shit for a while. I went to the dark side to purchase printing. I'll probably get tired of the easy work soon & get back into the private sector. In the meantime I get to surf the net a shitload on the public's time... Well at least one of "us" is doing it & not a welfare mother... I am the only straight white male in the department. I guess I was the affirmative action hire...

I've been a goddamn busboy at the buffet in the Eldorado Hotel and Casino for two years and I still love it. $3.63 an hour after taxes, with at least $20 in tips on a slow day and maybe as much as $45 dollars in tips on a busy day.
Damn laws prohibit me from becoming a server until I turn 21. Servers make about 500-800 a week in the other restaurants and work about 5 hours a day. Am I going to be a server? No. I won't stick around for another 2 years. I like to learn all types of new stuff in the casino and put in free time in other departments to learn how they run. I wrote a comprehensive 2001 Restaurant Analysis that I think just kicks ass (although a bit boring unless you find comparing gross revenues for this years and last years of our Brew Brothers Microbrewery entertaining (I do!)) Some of your jobs sound like alot of fun to learn. I'm always interested in learning new stuff so drop me a line if you have a intern or other posisition open for a smart guy such as myself.
