You just reminded me of that. I don't know how happy that makes me seeing that it may not be over. My signature used to be "To think I used to jump out of perfectly good airplanes."

That is a great profession!! A farmer is always out standing in his field.

I work in a grain elevator. I am the grain manager, so I buy and sell grain, hedge the grain positions and pray for rain.

Before that I worked in the State Unemployment Office (I got laid off!!). Past lives include radio advertising, shift forman in a fabric dying and bleaching plant, and 16 years in retail management, including S H Kress (remember them?) TG&Y stores, and Wal-mart.

Retired from the Navy in March and am now doing general contract work for another retired Senior Chief with his own Contractor business. We are working towards strarting a property management company doing remodels, rentals and some flips. AND I just went legit with my own woodworking (no more under the table jobs for me). I am now legal with Washington state as "Lou's Custom Woodworks" Not very original but it is what it says. I'll let you know in a year if it was worth it or not.

Laid off from the unemployment office? What the heck is this world coming to? For the "Just when you think everything can go wrong" department, I have this joke:

A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink
for half an hour when this big trouble-making truck driver steps
next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig. The
poor little guy starts crying.

"Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time." says the truck
driver. "I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a
man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life." says the little guy between
sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an
important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the
parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I have no insurance.
I grabbed a cab home but, after the cab left, I discovered my
wallet was still in the cab. At home I found my wife in bed with
the neighbor. So I came to this bar trying to work up the courage
to put an end to my life. And then you show up and drink the
poison."

What's Your Job?

I believe that this just might be reply number 100!
Currently retired, that means that I do NOTHING, and I don't even start that till after lunch!!!

In my past life, I was a aircraft mechanic, last 10 years was a aircraft maintenance supervisor/superintendent. (35 years)
A bad back got me out of the aircraft maintenance field, so I went to work at The Boeing Company as a manufacturing engineer. (11 years)

Being retired means getting up in the morning with nothing to do and going to bed with only half of it done!
