What kind of work does everyone do?

Most recently phlebotomy/IV therpy
Prior to that I did Corrections / Deputy Sheriff for Salt Lake Co.
But for the last year I've been Mr Mom which has been the most rewarding job to date (but the pay is horrible :lol: )

For a living, I'm a Non-Destructive Testing Lab Manager for an Aerospace Foundry. I do metals testing, chemical, physical, radiographic, failure testing, etc....
As a sideline, I make Japanese Shakuhachi (simple bamboo endblown flutes).

Tony

I'm a telecom technician with one of the competitive phone companies. I mainly install & troubleshoot T1 equipment providing analog (POTS) lines & Internet, although we also do trunks & PRI.

For fun, martial arts minimum three days a week for the past 12½ years. I practice three different Japanese martial arts: Aikido, Judo & Jyodo. The avatar is kanji for "budo" (pronounced boo-dough), which roughly translates as martial arts. I'm currently writing a book in what little spare time I have about Judo.

For the last 6 years I've been the building maintenance supervisor for the city of woodland. Before that I was a general building contractor for 16 years building mainly custom and semicustom homes.

Was an IT project manager till boss was fired. Then new boss came in and cleaned house. Now I'm back as a property controller for a real estate firm.

Retired now via a medical disability. Prior to that I was I Unix programer, system administrator, and IT manager. Now I just play bluegrass fiddle, mandolin and guitar and dabble in wood carving.

Bob

Desktop Support, I just fix laptops and printers. Seems the young kids hired today can't fix printers.

On the side I do welding and custom fabrication on off road vehicles.

I was a Police Officer until April 2004 when I retired after 30 yrs service. I now work as one of two Resourse Managers for the Police Division I worked in before I retired.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have
been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for
Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.
Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly
defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Red Sox, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I
don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have
been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles.

Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair.

While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On
weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact Origami. Years
ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have
made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.

I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan,
cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin.
I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have
spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet found the "perfect" combination of blade, stroke, hone, and strop.
