I hope you have thick skin and a hard shell because very few around here are willing to cut S&W any slack. I know you didn't have anything to do with it, so don't take any harsh remarks about your employer personaly. |

It's sad but even my officers get paid more than the local cops and I should know, I used to be one. I am also the Firearms Instructor for my department.

Lowly telephone repairman for Verizon. I work in four rural towns north of Dallas. I love the work but I'm getting very tired of the micro-management style since the GTE/Atlantic Bell merger. I get to climb poles and play in the dirt and be hot and cold and wet. Beats being tied to a computer and a headset anyday.

I maintain and repair rental equipment for Hyster New England (the largest Hyster dealership in New England and one of the 10 largest in the country.) We have a fleet of 500 or so rental vehicles spread over 4 branches and always rotating - Hyster forklifts from 3000lb to 36,000lb capacity, Ingersoll-Rand construction forklifts from 6000lb to 10000lb capacity, Skyjack electric slab scissorlifts from 15' to 32' lift height, Skyjack engine-powered rough-terrain scissorlifts from 27' to 50' lift height, Skyjack boomlifts from 33' to 46' lift height (both electric and engine-powered), Marklift/Simon/Terex electric and engine-powered boomlifts from 30' to 85' lift height, Marklift/Simon/Terex electric and engine-powered scissorlifts from 20' to 30' lift height (both slab and rough-terrain), and a few trucks from other manufacturers (Hoist Liftrucks, Eagle-Picher, and Snorkel, mainly.) I like getting my hands dirty, using my brain (troubleshooting electrical and hydraulic problems), and I don't think a day goes by where I don't learn something.

They are all there to work out and swim laps. I also get money from the gov cause I signed away the first four years of my life after college to be an officer in the Army

Those Marriot hotels at I-35 and William Cannon? Those were my home in Austin for the few weeks out of the year I got to visit. My storage stall is still just down the road. |

Quoted: I guide deer and turkey hunts in the winter and go fishing in the summer. Like slave labor. [rolleyes] I'll agree with that. If you wanna do nothing but fish.... go get rich doing something else and pay others to guide you. If you think it'd be fun to be a guide and you'll get to fish a lot you're kidding yourself.... I work as a part time guide in the summer for my cousin's guide service in Alaska. [url]http://www.italio.com[/url]. I spend the summer watching rich people fish/ teaching rich kids HOW to fish. And cleaning/cooking the fish they catch. Then I get to haul the gear, make and break camp (I make them help with that) and cook for them. I do it because I love the scenery and because I can't be reached by cell phone in Alaska. As much as I love getting away for the summer I'm usually glad when it's over. ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> |

Quoted: Own and operate a aftermarket parts and repair shop for HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES. Get to ride cool bikes and build even cooler motors. I'll look for you in Sturgis this year. Anyway, I used to do a lot of Computer Programming as a consultant for company I work for. Got tired of that and went into tech support for our ERP software. Now I maintain our databases, provide support inside and outside our company, and act as IT manager for our group. Good thing I made the change... we just laid off half our company (programmers and management) and the rest of us had to take a 12.5% pay cut. |
